2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Everything in the US has been built on the back of racism.
So tired of these broad, extremist generalizations on Lemmy. This is the mind of nonsense conservatives point to as "evidence liberals are stupid."
You're right. There's also classism, sexism, religious bigotry and a dash of ageism.
You've truly missed a majority of US history if you don't see the truth in their statement.
But it's actually true. If you look through the foundations of the US it is actually built on racism. They legitimately have white washed our education to remove it.
Even the stupid things that hurt everyone! That's the best part. We've been so into racism as a country that we shoot ourselves in the foot constantly to spite black people.
There's plenty of examples, but the one that always comes to mind for me first is public transportation. We led the world for a while there. Buses and trams and all sorts of ways to get around easily. It feels awfully coincidental that we let black people ride wherever they wanted on the bus and all of a sudden public transportation takes a back seat to car infrastructure right after.
