MAGA argues that all this discussion of racism and slavery is dividing us and thus needs to stop. You know what’s really dividing us? Refusing to reckon with our storied past and how it proliferates into the present moment. What’s dividing us is the failure to engage in genuine repair.
We can’t move forward because we can’t fix what we won’t face. So MAGA is sending a very clear message: they simply don’t care to face or fix this.

This isn't new. The USA has been denying racism & slavery didn't exist for the last 200 years. I worked as a teacher in MO and we were legally required to teach students the only cause of the civil war was states rights. Nevermind places further south still proudly flying the confederate flag.
