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.
