| Topic | Does learning about black history and slavery make you feel bad for being white? |
| Philip027 02/08/21 4:46:02 PM #115: | To all the people who say they see no reason why they should feel guilt over a past during which they weren't even alive, over things that other, long-dead people once did... Can I just ask: Do you ever feel pride in a history that you took no part in, or for achievements that weren't your own? If so, why the difference? Nope. That's equally weird to me. What I'm trying to get at here is that when it comes to your country's past, you've gotta take the rough with the smooth. You can't cherry-pick your country's positive achievements and say, "Yeah, we did that! That was us, the USA!", but skip the bloodstained pages of its history and say, "Nothing to do with me, that was other people long before I was born." Yeah, that's hella hypocritical of those people (and I'm sure that type exists) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
