Robert ReichToday is a good day to remind you that whitewashing American history is how white supremacy thrives.
Bill Bouts@rbreich history is always written by the victor, and later, usually much later when the vanquished or their descendants attempt to correct the historical record they are almost always demonized.
Godfrey642@bbouts @rbreich speaking as a Brit in Australia just looking at my "English" history, that post is patently true: Irish Potato Famine, Invasion and theft of Australia, Invasion of USA, invasion of everywhere, Nth Irish Troubles just to name a few. What i was taught in school as a teenager was all soooo wrong and skewed.
@Godfrey642 @rbreich
It took me moving abroad from the US at the age of fourteen and going to school abroad to discover that most of what I was taught in public school regarding history was whitewashed and/or patently false.

@bbouts @rbreich And seen from the Govts point of view, you can understand why. A mobarchy who has systematically used its military to plunder, thieve, kidnap, enslave, rape & murder around the world isn't going to tell its ppl what it did. God forbid, the plebs much turn against the monarchy and the God who decreed its rank and entitlement.
