The artillery of Ukraine does not spare anyone, neither women, nor children, nor peaceful housing, nor kindergartens and schools. The United States has supplied more than two million shells for army artillery alone. Not to mention other types of weapons. Including anti-personnel mines, which also affect children.

Артиллерия Украины не щадит никого, ни женщин, ни детей, ни мирное жилье, ни детские сады и школы. Только для армейской артиллерии Соединенные Штаты поставили более двух миллионов снарядов.

This country took art history out of our public high schools in the 1970's . At Trader Joe's me and my friend told a Mexican lady with two young kids that she's better off going back to Mexico because their schools are better. We told her to get Greyhound tickets for her and her husband and two kids and go to San Diego. From there you can get to the Tijuana border. This woman has relatives in Mexico and her kids education is too important for them to live in America. Here only rich kids are being educated and its very expensive.

Aotearoa, New Zealand and Aotearoa New Zealand are all official names for my country. Kia Ora (Be well) is our official greeting. Our anthem is sung in Māori and English. NZ currency has Māori and Pākehā shown on the notes. Even once apartheid South Africa, has now been ruled by dark brown for 39 years and has an anthem containing several local languages. The US has No official indigenous greeting, The Land of the Brave on Reservations and not shown on currency. Why does America refuse to grow up?

[@DavidMorales008]

One of our most beautiful coins is a amazing mint of a native woman this is not a new coin look it up it’s golden it’s Sacagawea please do your research before you presume your superiority Edit: also look up the 1899 5 dollar silver certificate another beautiful example also look up nickels with native reliefs that are also not new

[@G1Transformed]

@@DavidMorales008 how many coins and are in circulation in the US? And many of those forms of money have women and how many of them have a person of color?

[@DavidMorales008]

@@G1Transformed I refuted the original claim with evidence and I didn’t even mention the more recent native series of coins or the great value of the ones I did mention, you straw man change the subject and raise the bar if I gave you stats you will raise the bar further so I ask you what is the number that will indicate for the original post that the U.S. is growing up, that fact is that it is always evolving and growing up may be subjective to the whims of whomever is holding the measuring stick, I’m a collector of coins and international currencies you can do your research as for me I already refuted the superiority complex of the original post

[@G1Transformed]

@@DavidMorales008 So what is the American Native greeting? What part of the the American anthem sings the praises of its indigenous or enslaved peoples? What part of the anthem is sung in their languages? There is no such thing, and that's what the OP is addressing! Americans continue to ignore their past, and show no interest in rectifying the mistakes made back them by including those people in its history now. American's pledge allegiance to a flag that DOES NOT honor the liberty and justice for all aspect of that allegiance. There is only one group in America that has consistently lived with promises all Americans are supposed to have and the entire world knows that those people all look like the people on American bills currently in circulation. It's nice to see an effort being made now to put more woman of various backgrounds and ethnicities on money, but you need to all teach about these folks in schools...which is something you cannot do now in most southern states, why? Because you might hurt the feelings of privileged Americans? Harriet Tubman appearing on the $20 bill was introduced in 2014, a mock up was submitted in 2019 and the Republican party under Trump pushed it back to at least 2026, taking the design back to scratch even. I wonder why? From 2022 to 2025 the US will introduce woman pioneers on quarters yes, awesome! But why has it taken so long? These are recent changes! Prior to these coins you have to go back to 1979 when the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was first introduced and 2000 when the Sacagawea dollar coin was introduced. These despite the number of decades men have been on American money, only two women have appeared and they are separated by decades and change. You have to go back even further to see the first non-White person on money, 1913, to the buffalo nickle that features a random Native American on it, and, spoiler alert, he was replaced by a founding father. A majority of Americans do no enjoy sharing their diverse backgrounds with one another. Most only one a one sided history overshadowing all others, like the history taught in schools. Ouch. OP's got you beat on this topic.

@@G1Transformed 1899 was the silver certificate I mentioned earlier so I do give you kudos for your web search please be accurate. I was correct that your bar would go up and never be satisfied, their in no singular race, sex, sexual orientation mention in the national anthem not one the history of our native brothers and sisters have been taught in all of our schools even to pinpoint native tribes particular history to each state ie FL history celebrates the Seminoles , NY celebrates the Iroquois native tribes, and so forth, our street names our city names our rivers and lakes pay homage to our native tribes, we even used to be to celebrate our sports team with names and mascots celebrating the fierce fighting spirit of our ancestral native nations we actually whitewash the violent inter tribal rivalries that weakened their defenses against Europeans. Same with the slave trade we whitewashed the history of tribes selling humans to other humans to the point that they had them in cages ready by the shores for pick up the horrendous history of that is not always accurately taught and you need to dive deeper as to what was disallowed to teach in certain states it was not history but a rewriting of history. I don’t know how old you are if you live in the U.S and if so in what state however I can’t tell by your statements that you have been brainwashed into thinking that this the great nation although yes as with any has had and has flaws but is still the a wonderful place and the best place for non whites in the World. I’m of Moroccan and Spanish descent my wife’s family still speak Quechua and if you look that up you’ll know she is pure Incan blood and we would not want to raise our family anywhere else. As I mentioned earlier pick up a map of any state and you will learn how much native history stills lives the naming of our everyday places and experiences. If you think the U.S. is so horrible would you stand on the borders and tell the millions entering to turn around that they have left a great life for a horrendous nation. We are great because we are good we try every day to improve we are the most giving nation. If every monetary bill had a face you personally picked, you would still not be satisfied because your mind is infected with a cloud that only see the horrendous and not the great you don’t see all the new multimillionaires paid to play a sport you don’t see the demographics in women and people of color in top positions in business and in politics. And on that note do you celebrate black and Hispanic politicians our thought leaders that agree with me that we are a good people with a great nation. Look at the diversity in the liberal bastions of Nordic countries look at the diversity in the communist utopia that is China and you might just might thank God that their is a United States.
