2 months agoI think you’re correct. We were taught about manifest destiny but not the genocide of Native Americans, and that’s just one instance of the institutionalized racism we were taught was good. SO MANY PEOPLE never grew out of that or tried to be better.
Similar to Harney Peak being renamed Black Elk Peak. Though Harney wasn’t a Confederate, he did massacre Native American men, women, and children. Tribal/indigenous naming is so much better.
