    I did learn about the Native American genocide in school.

    Are there schools where this isn’t taught?

      I was taught it in New York, seems odd to omit it from American history. Wouldn’t surprise me if other states didn’t. Education is super politicized here.

        It’s not necessarily a topic that comes up every day, but I can’t think of a single time I’ve ever met a person who didn’t know about it. It’s never happened that someone has said “Wait what? What are you talking about?” when the genocide comes up.

      It took me an embarrassing long time to realize every single dipshit on this website that criticizes me “from the left”, is fully just a liberal. Posted up inside of a Democratic enclave in the US, who genuinely does not understand that their experience as an American might be somewhat unusual, or at least not an experience of the majority.
