-> Actually what I meant was that people who forget their history are doomed to
-> repeat it. Like, people get all fired up about Confederate Place or the
-> monument, and then wonder how someone like Trump (who they see as a racist)
-> wins the election.
Or worse... vandalize the confederate soldier's tombstones. It's
amazing that the one's who shout racism themselves are often the ones
that display the most racist behavior. I only see one race... human
race. I think the only thing that will make the population see us all
like that is if we had an extraterrestrial threat but that
probably won't happen they look at our planet and steer clear... those
people are insane.
-> Part of the problem in America today is that most school kids, if they are
-> taught much history at all, are taught that the civil war was all about
-> slavery and racism and nothing else.
They are taught crappy history... but the thing that they are NOT
teaching anymore that needs to be taught more than anything is CIVICS.
These kids have no clue what our government is or how it works.
