vibropulse: karleenamarx: kropotkhristian: As a history graduate student, I can tell you that this is actually true. You can’t be a liberal, because you become an anarcho-communist. Didn’t conservatives literally sanitize US history to make the genocide of native Americans seem like a voluntary migration and deemphasize any violent aspects of slavery? Even with all the accusations that “Texas writes the textbooks” most of mine were pretty clear that the US did some shady shit. Sure, I mean there’s only so much you can omit though. I don’t mean to suggest Texas textbooks make the US out to be a flawless country that’s never done anything wrong, but I have read parts of the textbooks in question that described the Trail of Tears as a voluntary migration and similarly referred to slaves as migrant laborers. -- source link
