[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No young people are smarter than they are given credit for, if not for the indoctrination in American schools we would be seeing it here as well.

Interesting. Some people are America  blaming schools and educators, which I find interesting.  I have heard that language before — “indoctrination” in schools. IRL  .

Where does that language or theory come from?

I heard Jordan Peterson talk about the over influence and over-therapy in kids. ie kids are being directed to therapists too much in the US (he explained it in a snazzy video). I can actually buy that.  But Where is this blaming schools thing coming from?   Is this in a study or survey that I missed? [/quote]

I think it just always existed.
Think about it, the whole history course is now about how white people exploited all kinds of non white people.

Why is it SOOOO hard for you to hear that they kind of did?[/quote]

Because it is history.  History is violent and brutal.  You think white people were the only bad people?  Hell, why don't you go learn about the Arab slave trade from Africa, Ghengis Khan, Chinese and Indian slavery, slavery by indigenous tribes in South and Central America, or the murderous empire of Imperial Japan.

Inconvenient facts.[/quote]

I agree that history is violent and brutal and that humans have enslaved other humans throughout our history.  But that doesn't negate that the main enslavers in recent history were whites.  The inconvenient facts post makes no sense.  Both things can be true.

And modern day whites need to stop being so crazy about this.  If you never enslaved anyone and treat all people kindly, you have nothing to feel guilty about.  I don't go around feeling guilt for what other people have done.  But I also would like to know more than just whitewashed history and would like to be part of building a better world for everyone.  Why would you NOT want to do that?[/quote]

Not true at all.  China didn't even ban slavery until the 20th century!
