This is the response of someone who doesn’t want to critically think. Nothing you said has anything to do with my original response. This entire conversation started because someone went on national television to provide an inaccurate, appalling minimization of slavery.
And by the way, racism didn’t end with slavery. We got 80 years of Jim Crow after that. Remind me again why we had a civil rights movement? We haven’t even been legally desegregated for that long.
The problem is that people like you think this is about victimhood, when it’s really about respect and dignity. We can’t hide the ugly parts of our history because folks like you find them inconvenient to the American narrative. It is what it is.
