This thread is beyond hope.
How have you all gotten this far in life with such simplistic attitudes about the world around you? Good Christ, you act like the world came into existence when you were born, and that everything that came before us is just a figment that "mean people" keep alive because it benefits them somehow.
It is baked into the cake of the American experiment. No slate is wiped clean, as you all suppose for some reason. History does not go away, and collective memories run deep and painful.
You're all too proud and too ignorant to have an honest discussion about this.
