It's crazy how much is hidden from people. As an American black guy it's just wild seeing everyone else's "first time reaction". For me personally, I learned a lot of this stuff super early (It's pretty unavoidable sometimes tbh. Important to be aware and know your history and all that jazz) The "used slaves skin as leather" is one thing. Using hair as chair cushion filling. Then there was the eating of slaves. Putting slave children in holes so only their heads were exposed and making a game outta kicking their heads off. "Eenie meanie miney moe" not originally having the word "tiger" in it. Etc etc etc. Man, yeah there's a lot. And it's just the surface, there's TONS more horrendous stuff. And it's so wild, that instead of acknowledging the history. So many Americans out there wanna vote to hide it. People out there saying "Oh it's not a big deal". Mad depressing. The American education system has done a lot to do their best to hide the FULL history of what's happened. Avoiding lessons about why there's so many inequalities, why the system targets certain individuals. Which in turn, just creates more ignorant masses. Instead of teaching what happened, so that we build a better, more aware generation.

[@LinkinMark1994]

Aware of what? Inhumane bullshit that just puts ideas in peoples’ heads? The only way to counteract the atrocities of human history is to teach good values to our children such as respect, courage, honesty, humility, faith, patriotism, and initiative. I know this all sounds really corny and pretty basic stuff, but that’s only because we as a society have spent too long laughing at the idea of such “old fashioned ideals” that we think that’s we’re above such childish things. In reality those things are what create heroes and positive role models. I’m not saying we should keep hiding things from the public (you know what they say about not knowing your history), but in the end, teaching about just hatred and division will only brew more of the same hatred and division. Let’s teach how to love absolutely, unconditionally, rather that trying in vain to fight hate with more hate.

Ok, so I looked up the shoes made of black people like Woolie implored and...HOO BOY that is...yeah I see why schools just don't cover this. I'm 27, and I can barely process this. The way people who wore the shoes talked about it too, is...oh man it's stomach turning.

[@RicochetForce]

That's actually the stance a lot of people come to after finding out more and more about the treatment of slaves and natives. It's so fucking bad, man. Conservatives straight up try to ban the teaching of any of this because "it'll make children hate America." Uh, if the only way to get children to love their country is to lie and hide centuries of abhorrent, inhuman shit that is a giant red flag. For some people it's the shoes. For it's what happened to Tulsa. To other its the Syphilis experiments on black people.

[@Revan058]

No, the reason schools don't cover it is a concentrated effort from the right in America to erase the horrors of the past as they push to return to it. Full stop. There's no concern with it being too much, it's shitty racists trying to make shitty dead racists look better.

[@RicochetForce]

@@Revan058 Correct, almost immediately after the Civil War was over we had pieces of shit paying to erect statues of the traitors and whitewashing the events that occurred. Notice how a major effort from conservatives has been to ban the teaching of anything that exposes just how foul our country has been in practically every era.

[@Revan058]

[@RoachDoggJR4200]

As an Irish guy, a lot of people would be surprised at just how hated Irish people were in America. Considering how much Americans claim to love Irish people nowadays,we used to be considered subhuman to them

[@RicochetForce]

Oh yeah, it's fucking bad. There's a reason folks want to ensure our curriculum across the entire country teaches this, because it's as close to a fucking Original Sin of the nation as it gets. It's the 800 pound Gorilla sitting in practically every room. As you said, scratch even a little bit or get into source material from that era and it's... wow.

[@lemeres2478]

@@RoachDoggJR4200 Which seems weird that it is hard to understand, since you have easily comparable modern parallels. I mean just saying "we were the Latino guys back then". While racists are creative with new twists, they sure do love them some of the old classics they use over and over.

[@RavenCloak13]

Was also a feminist movement that caused EVEN MORE PROBLEMS and ironically gave MORE power to the Irish gangs and other gangs during the rise of American mobs who end up being more civil and understanding then the government. Though, do find it funny when people think Irish is the most White because of the red hair and such but then you remember the Irish weren't even considered White for the longest time.

I also love the automatic response of "nuh-uh, that didn't happen". I mean... really? Someone is going to defend the moral fortitude of slave owners? 150 years after the fact? I mean, I never really get how denialists don't cut their losses and move on. It seems a lot easier saying "so ok, those people way, way long ago were bad, but things aren't like that any more". The stance is still bullshit of course,, but seems easier to defend since you don't have to build up arguments to defend racists that have been buried for 100 years.
