        Ah, that’s why pear-based weaponry played such a small role in World War II?

    I mean yeah, I agree. Remembering the past is important, but only in so far as it affects the currently and future living people.

    So let’s talk about how institutionalised racism and power structures that started from slavery are still negatively affecting a lot of people while favouring some others.

    Six Flags Over Slavery just moved it into the prisons and offshore. Slavery is most certainly not over.

    Kinda like asking when someone is going to stop focusing on the bone sticking out of thier leg and start focusing on walking.

    If you don’t set the bone, it can’t heal. It’s actually pretty important. It certainly is a counter-example to the idea that “time heals all wounds”.
