I had someone tell me to get over slavery

I don't think this person meant for it to sound bad but people need to understand that so long as we support the systems that made slavery possible in the first place, we can't just get over it. Trump is actively trying to bring slavery back by approving of segregation in the military and doing things like covering slavery exhibits and trying to white wash history.

We get "over" it through installing better policies and people but we're not doing that. So no I won't get over it.

It's about letting recorded history stand, not about getting over it.
It's like saying get over the Roman Empire. It's history that happened and deserves to be in museums and taught in school.

were they wearing a red hat and carrying a picture of Trump in their wallet?

@legalboxers Nah I didn't go to their original profile but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now until they respond. It was just a thought I had when people tell us to get over slavery but it still happens in many ways and racism problems in law enforcement and stuff. The only way to get over the past is to put in place new policies and community organizing. Until we have that, we don't have anything

@legalboxers I take that back, they might as well have a red hat lol

@KunsanVeteran The way I see it though is that the people who follow trolls like that were looking for reasons to do that in the first place. We have miserable people who want others to suffer.

@idontcareok yes

@Ferise1 I love how you try to turn it into something else other than the points made. It's sometimes easier to make it about something else rather than concede. And it says clearly on my profile where I am, the United States.
