To me what is very amusingly different is the holier than though, upholder of freedom and democracy chip on their shoulder many wear to a fault. Given history (both old and recent) it takes some chutzpah (and perhaps ignorance / indoctrination) to wear that attitude when one is responsible for enslavement of one race and, for all practical purposes, political depopulation of another. I bear no ill will, far from it, just something that tickles my funny bone in some dark way.
- LordKano 11y agoMy ancestry contains enslaved Africans, indentured servant Irish and Native Americans. The history of this country isn't some dry, academic matter for me. It's how I came to exist. This country isn't perfect. This country has done some terrible things, especially to non-whites and Jews but that doesn't change any of my previous points.
