    There’s not much nuance in a mob of people murdering a bunch of other people because of their skin color. That’s pretty much as far from nuance as you can get. Yeah there’s a lot going on around this but that’s the story we’re talking about.

      The nuance isn’t about the massacre, but about why should white kids be made to obsess about it? Teach it and move on to the next subject.

        See, this is why we can’t have a discussion. First, there’s your claim that we “don’t want nuance” here.

        Then you immediately go to “racist liberal communist school teachers are brainwashing white youth to hate themselves” talking points. Sure you watered them down a bit, but that’s because they were watered down to make them palpable to you.

        Great Replacement Theory. You’re pushing shitstain fascist (mainly neo-Nazi) propaganda; whether you realize it or not.

        So maybe you should shut the fuck up until you gets your head in order.

        Because we aren’t being taught it. I had a pretty good education and even I hadn’t heard of this until I personally looked into years later. It’s absolutely pertinent to learn that that there was a racially motivated massacre of successful black people that the authorities did nothing to quell – within the last century on American soil.

        but about why should white kids be made to obsess about it?

        Oh, the horrors of having to come to terms with your ancestors not being perfect paragons of virtue. The only true oppression.

          There are political consequences to shoving a 1-sided history down the throats of white kids.

            Yes. We’ve seen what happens when we do. We get people like you who are threatened by teaching history as it happened instead of some sanitized version that doesn’t offend white people. I notice that you don’t give a solitary shit if black people are offended by you teaching lies to their children.

            Also, what’s conservatives’ obsession with your throats?

              Republicans are obsessed with children genitalia, not surprised they’re also concerned about what fits down their throats. Gross.
