At the very least it shows a history illiteracy that can only be derived from ignorance. It's either that or malice. I'll cut you some slack and presume it's ignorance.
- msgodel 1y agoWe fought an entire civil war to free the blacks, they're more free here than in many places in Africa. We preceded most countries with giving women rights and even many of the most misogynist people here want them to have more rights than they have in most of the rest of the world. If we gave minorities and women any more than they already have we'd have to actively take things from other people here (and in some cases we're already doing that.) The idea that we now or have historically not been near or at the frontier of this is completely absurd and actually historically illiterate.
