See: the United States of America.
The brutality of slavery? "Not my problem. I had nothing to do with it. CRT is the real problem dividing us anyway"
The absolutely evil treatment of indigenous people? "Christopher Columbus was a hero for discovering the New World"
The Confederacy? "Oh, it was just a state's rights issue."
Japanese internment during WWII? "But did you hear about the Nazis?"
The treatment of refugees at our borders? "Here's why separating children from their parents is actually a good thing!"
