I am with you on it being somewhat damaging to black kids though. I’m Irish we’re colonized white people, but I didn’t have to sit through an endless list of atrocities the English did to my ancestors. If I had it may have created psychological trauma of being less than. Not sure. Hard to know. Very complicated subject.

It 1000% created psychological trauma that is very evident and can be seen in Black American culture right now but we could talk for hours about that like you said complicated subject
It’s good to have the discussion though and whatever moron parents you were talking to in Florida are completely clueless as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve never met anyone who thinks we shouldn’t learn about slavery. Speaking from an anti-woke perspective, that’s fucking retarded. Slavery was the intractable sin eating away at the core of our Founding, and the country almost drowned in its own blood to remove it. Frederick Douglass is one of the most impressive people to ever walk this Earth, and every kid should know his story.
But anyone who thinks that topic is the whole story of our country, either to endlessly invoke it, or to twist it and hide from it, is broken and doing themselves no favors.
