Half my grandparents were in Syria and the other half were fighting against segregation. People like Anne Braden were around and I choose to identify with her America while disowning and shaming scumbags like ICE and those pictured. There are historical Americans that can and should be absolutely shamed and there are ones that did everything in their power to improve the country for all. Neither should be forgotten or minimized for their impact.
That’s commendable and I agree we shouldn’t forget those either, but statistically most white people didn’t give a damn, the civil rights would have never materialized without black people grabbing arms to defend themselves
There are like two good people in the white American mythos, and John Brown is one of them already! No, man, it’s a country of villains, a bloodthirsty, amoral empire and thank God it’s going down.
