Africans came over on cruise ships while drinking Margaritas and dancing in the aisles.

Erasing history. WHY? I don't get it. I am a white dude and love this nation, but also know we did some messed up shit. We got over it, great people fought to free black Americans and give women actual freedom to...well do anything. Lets not forget the genocide against the Native population. Messed up. I hate it. But I can't change it. I have no white guilt. I am only guilty for shit I personally do. But I won't pretend either.

I don't understand the psychosis in getting rid of all this. To make "us whites" feel better? To promote the idea "white America" is perfect? Why is TRUTH so controversial?
