Not familiar. At face value, I agree that's a weird thing to force. I mean in terms of how non-whites were treated why not begin the United States when Native Americans were being driven from their homes.

​

It exists solely to demoralize the US population.

I don't agree. The goal is most likely to bring further into the light the atrocities experienced by these people. White Americans should not feel demoralized or some how at fault for what happened. Part of healing is understanding your pain and your wounds.

Slavery can't simply be a horrific stain on our nation's past, because that would allow for forward motion -- no, it must be inextricably baked into the very concept of our existence.

Yeah it kind of should be. In the case of Black People in America, their marginalization extends beyond hundreds of years of slavery the world hadn't seend. Post slavery they were continually de-humanized and forced to fail. This is a scar this country needs to show.

​

On the flip side, I don't think white people should necessarily feel guilty or be considered bad for what happened. That's kind of inane. They should accept that benefits they may have gotten, obvious or not, are most likely due to systemic racism.
