He is the guy that DID NOT discover America.
Coloumbus doesn’t ring a bell for me. I know a guy named Columbus though he found the land
Belgian Malanois or, as the handlers I know call them, Mallagators!
Not many statues from long ago. The ones that are still here are missing stuff. People like beating up statues from the first one ever sculpted.
Here I gotta disagree...If you're saying that being born in the United States automatically gives you citizenship, that's NOT how it's supposed to be. It has become this way only by bureaucratic fiat, not by actual rule of LAW.
Now, back to your actual point - History is HISTORY. For sure, there are different perspectives, and nobody can say now what the TRUTH really was about a lot of things that happened even as recently as 200 years back.
But to erase the recorded history simply because you don't like what it says is never a good idea.
For instance - I'm essentially of German descent. But you'll NEVER see me trying to erase the records of something as culturally and sociologically damaging to the Germans as the Holocaust! It happened. It SUCKS that it happened, and I feel sorrow for those who were caught up in that madness, and anger at those who participated, but no matter how far the pendulum swings, I'll never condone erasing that tragic picture.
So erasing the fact that people in this country were once owned by other people is wrong, and if we remove all mention of these people, we will fail to learn from that situation.
To take it one step further, I am the son of a former slave.
My grandparents and their children were captured and sold as slaves near the end of WWII by the Polish. They escaped, and were recaptured 6 times. At one point my grandfather escaped and tried to raise money to buy back his family.
Certainly this wasn't the same as the generational slavery that people have experienced all over the globe, but it's still slavery.
Do I hate Polish people because if this? NO.
Do I feel like my life is worth less because of my personal connection to slavery? NO.
Do I think someone owes me or my family anything as a result of that slavery? NO.
After the war ended, my grandparents finally made it to a British refugee camp, and after a few years made it to America.
I'm pretty sure they spoke no English, but a distant relative had signed paperwork helping them immigrate. There were 6 of them with little more than the clothes they wore. In spite of arriving with nothing, in a land that had recently defeated their homeland, and in the face of constant bigotry, they tried to raise their family. My grandparents worked 2 and 3 jobs each, both sons served during Vietnam, and by the time my grandmother died of cancer in 1993 she had almost $1million in assets.
THAT is what America means to me. The freedom to do what it takes to either succeed or fail, based on your own abilities.
So to all of those 'entitled' assholes out there, I say: "Nobody owes you shit. If you want something, it's a question of HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT???"
I’m done treading lightly. I’m tired of others telling me what I should think, or how I should feel. Or why shit I’ve never done is my fault.
I’m part of the demographic that received the most discrimination of any other over the last 2 decades.
White male over 30.
White privilege is absolute bullshit.
I got where I am by not getting arrested, joining the military to get an education and training because I come from a middle class family that could not afford to pay for my education. And I was one generation too watered down to get tribal benefits. That ended with dad’s generation. Most everyone had that opportunity, and The fact that they did not use it is their fault, not mine and I will not apologize.
Don’t tell me what to think
Don’t tell be how to feel.
Don’t tell me it is my fault when it clearly isn’t.
I will no longer tread lightly.
Because I don’t agree with what the media spews does not make me ignorant. It also does not make me racist.
What it does is make me tired. I’m tired of the bullshit.
Congrats I think we’re all tired of bullshit. What you may consider bullshit may be the total opposite from what I do. Think and feel however you want in the end nobody cares but you. Just like everyone else
