Not sure what I should've expected, but "Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees" is pretty lazy.

    They're going to teach that in the period of slavery in the USA, African people sailed here on there own and were welcomed with open arms by the good white folks, given jobs to buy Ford F-150s, and pull themselves up by their got danged bootstraps.

      It's not like this is too far off from what's actually taught in US schools, which is "Lincoln freed the slaves and so since 1865 racism hasn't been a problem".

          And note how white folks exclusively clip the "judged by the content of their character" part and ignore everything else MLK said. Because you can take that one quote, remove all context, and then use it to imply things like Affirmative Action are racist because it treats people differently.

      My middle school history teacher essentially told us slaves came willingly because Africans were selling the slaves. I was also told the south won the Civil War by the same person.

          They always do that, a small number of willing collaborators in colonized or exploited countries are used to shift blame away from the people that are funding the entire thing.

        In the future I’m either going out in a guillotine for being too reactionary for the post-zoomer vanguard or killed by nazis for saying cracker

      "To be accepted as a full member of the clan, one must survive the Waokae. At the eve of their sixteenth birthday, each child is brought to the summit of Mt. Focksneus, within which molder the bones of uncountable generations of deceased clansfolk. As the sun dips below the horizon, the ancestors' spirits wake and are drawn to the irrepressible glow of that young life, reaching out of their mountain sepulcher like obsidian branches of a twisted tree hungering for the sun. Once their prey is found, they will subject her to centuries worth of outdated political opinions, ancient prejudices, and apocryphal anecdotes. Those weak of spirit will turn, taken before their time into the depths of rocky tombs to become another twisted limb on the Stygian tree. In this way the clan is kept strong."
