See since it was started by the Democrats , republicans are doing a good thing here. They are reaching out across the isle and saying. Hey your old group isn't that bad. Nowadays, with wanting to give people health care, teaching about racism from the past, having women make their own choices. Now that is bad and they will call them out on those things . But they are open to the past. The Republicans are such great people. I don't know why I ever assumed that their were racist assholes. I was so wrong .

I don't get how you can argue America wasn't rooted in racism.

The founders owned slaves and were white supremacists.

If you want to go further back to the Pilgrims, persecution was the name of their game

America infastructure was literally built on slave labor, there was a literal civil war over whether slavery is bad. Segregation wasn't ended until 1968

America having racist history isn't a left wing liberal biased lie. It's just history

If you met near enough anyone in America from 1776, they would abolutely horrify you with their beliefs or attitudes.

You should accept that attitudes and times change, but not lie about or defend it

The fact that the 13th and 14th amendments even exist, or that the civil war occurred, is absolutely evidence of racist roots. These roots persist in present day with preferential treatment by law enforcement and judges.

Hell, I'm 100% sure that they would get rid of all of them except the 1st and 2nd.

The recent elections with Biden and O'Rourke are showing the Texas GOP that they're gradually losing their hold on the state, so they're going full-on scorched earth and trying to cram whatever regressive laws they can muster up down the public's throat.

A lot of that is true but still, people are justifiably annoyed at this movement to analyze every single thing through the lens of racism, and only criticize America, without being able to say anything positive. There's nothing wrong with some patriotism or pride in our country. Even Germans and Japanese today are more patriotic than us. It makes me wonder, if people hate America so much, why do they even live here?

  1. A lot of America's history is racist, so it is justified to view it through that lens.
  2. They only criticize America because they live there, so another country's politics have no relevance to the subject.
  3. You seem to think that having patriotism means that you think the country is perfect and can do no wrong, which is not true for any country. Truth is, people try to use "patriotism" as a deflection from the country's faults.
  4. Calling out the faults of American society and its history doesn't mean that they hate the country; rather, by calling attention to them, there's the hope that those issues can be addressed and the country can improve. American citizens are free to criticize the country if they think something is shitty.
  5. The only people who are upset about these racial analysis are likely of dubious character themselves.

It's a mistake to judge people of the past with modern attitudes

It's also a mistake to pretend the past was accceptable to modern attitudes when it wasn't.

You can respect people for what they did at the time and still accept and teach that they were morally wrong

It's not an either/or thing with sides.

I mean U.S Grant pretty much ended slavery and brought about the 13th/14th amendment and he was a slaveowner too

plus those amendments were only for men , women could not vote or hold office

Acting like it's an open question just teaches kids that all that right wing horror is okay.
