    We do not have george washington framed photos hanging in every classroom

    That's a weird arbitrary line to draw, since 1: We carved his face on a fucking mountain, and 2: most classes have an American flag that once a day every day the students must face while they recite an oath of allegiance to the state.

      This is like when people say that Trump isn't a racist because no one has a video of him shooting a black guy in the head while saying "I am killing this black man because I hate black people because I am a racist".

      They love to only have these weird, extremely specific definitions of bad things so that it just so happens that America's enemies are all these bad things but America isn't. It's like when you say the US is systemically racist and they go "well, I don't see any laws that says 'police must be racist' so how can it be systemical?".
