clairenovac:amuseoffyre:classicalcassiopeia:blaineys-boogie-shoes:africa-will-unite:rudegyalchina:“Why don’t you guys just get the fuck over it ” - Becky voice .“Why are you resisting ? Be peaceful .”Don’t ever let this post die . *Good history Twitter pg to follow *“It was a long time ago get over it” Jim voice.. Cough, only 54 years ago for Kenya , 55 years for Jamaica, 70 years ago for India, 50 years ago Aboriginal people weren’t counted as people, they were under the Flora and Fauna Act…Not to mention the aboriginal stolen generation where children were literally taken from their families and given to white families to “assimilate” them and it’s still terrible the gap between white Australians and indigenous Australians.Because we dont talk enough about this in the UK, especially not in schools. It is, at best, glossed over if mentioned at all. Depressingly, British education tends to be restricted to WWI and WWII with a side of the Tudors and the Industrial Revolution. The only other significant historical events are apparently the world cup of 1966 and Hastings in 1066, although many don’t remember why the latter was important (psst - it’s when we got a foreign Royal family…).So next time y'all come after the US as if it’s the only nation which has committed genocide and countless other atrocities against its indigenous peoples, sit the fuck down and educate yourselves. -- source link
