    It’s somehow okay to hate people for their ancestry? Are we doing that now?

      So, like US conservatives you have decided that sharing facts about our history and its repercussions today is somehow suggesting we should hate a particular group of people for their ancestry? Was there a section in the article I missed?

      For conservatives, it isn’t just ancestry. It’s their “heritage”.

      The south will rise again, y’all!

      Conservatives proudly display the traitor’s flag while trying to take the nation back to a time before the civil war. Conservatives lust for the oppression of the vulnerable. This is just who they are at their core. It’s who they’ve always been.

      I’m not seeing anything about hating people. I’m seeing the point being made that there are still lasting repercussions to slavery to this day. The wealth and power gained from being a slaver was handed down, since wealth and power are both easily handed down and easily grown.
