Some of them know what they’re doing, but a surprising number of people are uneducated about history, which is why those who use the issue of early American slavery to divide us are able to get away with their lies.
“...surprising number of people are uneducated about history,...”
Sure thing - because it’s not being taught; and what IS being taught is Marxist revisionist BS where the typical American is the evil, nasty slave-owning Simon Le Gree and the poor, downtrodden people of color (all good Democrats of course) are the noble victims.
So you have one segment being taught that their ancestors were horrible folks, and the others taught that they’re OWED something.
Not conducive to good relations...and a _resident who just keeps picking at that scab.
And this passes for public education. Kids today know everything there is to know about worthless pop culture idiots and nothing about the heritage and deeds of the people that created this amazing experiment in liberty for the little guy.
So it will go away, ultimately, unless we stop the slide.
