A country founded on #genocide, #slavery and #classwar. That is the foundation of the US.
"Is it patriotism coming from those who support the idea of “making America great again?”
How great we were when we stole most of the land on this continent from its native peoples. How great we were when we enslaved ten million Black people from 1619 to the 1860s. How great we are — still fighting wars, killing people. How great we are when over 700,000 people are homeless in our country."
