Speaking of what Americans "forget", I find it disturbing that this comment section seems to agree when it comes down to racism and white washing, but not a word is spoken about Native Americans.
Just imagine how devastating it is to see groups of immigrants fighting among eachother about equal rights. And your group, the only actual non-immigrants, get completely ignored. Not a word is spoken about them. Even by those supporting equal rights.
They assume it's resolved and it's a given that they have equal rights, unaware of the ongoing injustice and injury to native peoples. The media helps perpetuate this misconception.
