It's not untrue. The ugly parts of our history that we don't glorify and revere (Confederate statues) get glossed over. Newton's third law of physics also applies to politics: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. We banned slavery, so Jim Crow laws were put into place. We banned segregation, whites resegregated themselves by fleeing to the suburbs. We tried to get blacks out of poverty with education, whites ban affirmative action. Then we declared war on drugs and got tough on crime so that if we couldn't segregate blacks, we'd just put them all in prison.
