I thought they were all about facts not caring about their feelings

No, they were about facts not caring about your feelings. Where their feelings are involved, it's the opposite; their feelings don't care about facts.

Is it just me or is whitewashing slavery the first step in reinstituting slavery?

Reminds of the video with the confederate idiot that talks about how his family was so poor and couldn't even afford slaves.

Would no one think of the crackers??

Like crackers!

Gotta think of the crackers.

They’re the foundation to any meat and cheese platter.

White House official Lindsey Halligan: "While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history, you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress ... we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress."

where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was

'Bad' and 'negative' are synonyms here.

You can't understand progress without an understanding of historical reality.

just a reminder that Newsweek is a conspiracy-peddling, right-wing rag that we should not be driving traffic to
