tfw your parents blindly and desperately try to justify and explain away atrocities
This must be what is like to *live in the South in the US
Southern U.S: "slavery was bad but it's over and everyone did it anyways stop complaining"
Northern U.S: "slavery was the worst atrocity to have occured in the history of mankind but also we have to fire you because of the anti-semitic comments you made about Israel, slava ukraini"
It's getting even worse. Last I heard some of the curriculum is like -
Southern U.S: "Slavery was kiiiinda bad, but also the slaves loved it and were treated well, and it wasn't that bad at all jk lol"
I attended a deep south high school circa 2015 and IME it was more like "Slavery was kinda bad, but they were no angels, and life was really hard back then, and they sold their own people so it was kind of justified, also the cotton industry was very prosperous and you can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs"
sounds quite a bit like the midwest too.. i think its just rural idiots in general
I also attended a midwest middle school and got a fairer telling of the history of slavery, but got essentially the same story about native americans.
living in the stolen black hills, having native americans in my class, teacher telling us what a hero Custer was
My Ohio school had us sing John Brown's Body as a choir song in music class
New Florida standards teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught useful skills.
I think if you write something like that then I get to keep you as a slave. I'll teach you how to code, so you'll love it.
Southern US: "the Civil War was really about states rights and stuff, and really not that much about slavery"
Okay, I need to know, how is Ukraini pronounced? I'm stuck between yoo-cry-nee, yoo-crane-ee, and the oddball oo-crah-ee-nee. I have very little knowledge of Easter European languages.
English fucking suck at pronouncing Slavic vowels so i think this would be closest
Oo-cry-ee-nee
It’s like yoo-krey-nee
Not just the South
genuinely yes
I'm so sorry if that's something you are or had to in the past experience.
