America is not a racist country. True or false

Darker skinned people say derogatory things about lighter skinned people all the time and you nod along with them.

It’s all in how you teach it.

Inferring that modern people are somehow still responsible isn’t how you teach it.

Yeah but some people here don’t even want to hear about it.

What is dangerous, is not teaching the complete history, the good, bad and the ugly.

What exactly is “complete history”? Sounds highly subjective to me. Here’s what I can tell you, I am absolutely certain that myself and my siblings did not learn “complete history” by whatever definition the Left has on it. So in what way are me and my siblings “dangerous” in your mind?

Well, if you’re afraid of kids learning about bad things that happened in the past because it might make them feel bad, that’s a bit of a problem.

What do you mean by “bad”? Are you talking about morality? Does that mean teaching kids about religious issues then?

I did not call you or anyone dangerous…if you were not taught as complete of history as possible, then you are not aware of all of our history, unless you took the time on your own to do so.

Humans learn from past mistakes. If we do not keep those mistakes fresh in the minds of the populace, they may forget…and may then repeat some of those mistakes.

Do you not want all of our history taught? If not, why?

I concur. We also need to celebrate the progress we have made. Work still needs to be done.
But it is far better now, than even in the recent past. (1970’s)

“Minority” is in this context. Yet you ignored it.

Seems you missed the word minority.

For one thing there is not the time in twelve years of school to go into each and every detail about history. I am willing to bet that you know more about the history of black americans than you do native americans. And as a native american I really don’t care that you don’t know each and every detail about what happened years ago.
