But the legacies of slavery are just as evil
So the story goes
Consider how different things would be if children who are the descendants of a people who were persecuted, instead of teaching their children that they are still an oppressed victim, taught their children to be grateful and proud that their ancestors were extremely strong to have survived whichever horror they survived: be it slavery, Soviet gulag, Chinese cultural revolution, political famine, concentration camp, etc. Their ancestors had resilience and toughness, qualities very lacking in today’s victim generation.
