See, the thing is I grew up outside the US and was taught about the civil rights movement as well - did they just not talk about what the police and federal government were doing for a century? Was it all framed as a minority of whites that were being racist or something?

Some kids are told about it in school, and then that chapter ends and the lesson moves on and the kids forget about it. Beyond that, Americans have to actively seek out that information.

With Trump making moves to erase all evidence of the history I mentioned above, it's about to get a lot worse.

It's so incredibly sickening for a human being to just delete millions of documents and pieces of data for their own ego. Like, he's probably caused the deaths of millions by shit he did with COVID and other stuff, but this will fuck over all of humanity for the rest of time.
