(83,855 posts)There are some of our race that have shown their inhumanity for centuries. White privilege. A cleansing. Fear.
This needs to stop. This is why identity politics is so very important to our survival as members of a humane world.

It's vital to our growth and Health as a Nation

It didn't end with the Emancipation Proclamation. History tells you it really ended at the start of WWI. Even that is not true. It still exists today.

(53,410 posts)Most people just conveniently forget that our history is full of these kind of darkest actions. Sanctioned genocides and persecutions. It all started right away too, with the Pilgrims, from the very beginning. And youre right. It still goes on now.
If we dont face it we will never end it.

The history, if you will ...
The truth must rise from those gathered at the bottom of the ladder ...
I hope I live long enough to witness it.
Thank you, sheshe
