This nation has a great deal of greatness in its history and culture of resistance, progress, and innovation that isn’t talked a lot about. Instead, the dominant narrative and pop culture based on oppression, slavery, and insanity is promoted in its place. Yes, saying that this country is all bad and is uniquely evil among nations is false, but accepting the dominant narrative that you should handwave the bad I’d also incorrect.
The positives include the protest music of modern folk singers, the struggle of labor unions of the late 1800s/early 1900s, and the mass of history shakers now standing up to police brutality.
I actually did read Settlers by J. Sakai. Outside of wrongly attributing all white workers as non-proletarian or even oppressed, instead of recognizing the intricate caste system we have in the United States, I don’t know where your going here?
