I agree with this. There are a lot of people who think American history is irrelevant to them, and I think a wedge is driven against people by asserting that American history is irrelevant to non-white people. Hate speech is a good example. It's not a new debate and it's pretty obvious to me that governments use whatever leverage they have against their citizens which is why free speech is important. In places where there are restrictions on speech, we see it abused against citizens. For example, in Islamic countries with blasphemy laws, they are weaponized against the opposition. Germany aggressively prosecutes people using anti-Natsoc laws and anti hate speech laws on what seems like a very politically biased basis https://web.archive.org/web/20230316140458/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/23/technology/germany-internet-speech-arrest.html https://web.archive.org/web/20230316140458/https://www.nytim.... If government has a method to arrest and silence people it doesn't like, it will find a way to use that method. I think the US is already hopeless so technology is the solution.
