Another despicable event in America's long history of oppressive and violent behavior towards minorities by whites in effort to maintain and exert their dominance. American history books, mostly Euro/white-centric, avoid describing them, in effort to keep them hidden from view. Why do conservatives get so outraged when any of these actual events are brought out in the open?
And yet any time there is a Black Panther or BLM sighting, it is broadcast negatively all over the conservative news cycle...while when the KKK and white supremacists march, they are shown in a positive way... portraying them as victims exercising their 1st Amendment right while being "attacked" by Antifa...
kinda shapes the narrative and reinforces beliefs for a broad section of the audience
Other examples of actual events hidden from the books:
Mexican Repatriation 1929-1936 (eerily similar to what could happen if the haters get their way with DACA) when 2 million people, about 60% who were young American citizens with Mexican heritage were forcibly loaded onto trains and sent to Mexico. Most did not have any ties to Mexico...
Chinese Massacre in L.A. 1871, seventeen Chinese were killed in LA's Chinatown by a white mob...
These two events occurred when economic times were difficult for all, and nativists blamed the "outsiders"...sound familiar?
Should I mention that "Republican" is the party of Lincoln?
