Importance of knowing American history

People say "you don't know me" when they're criticized. And that implies that you ought to know their history. They imply that their history is important to know before you make any snap judgements about them. Well, what about American history being studied so that people don't make snap judgements about America?

Liberals hate conservatives, conservatives hate liberals. The amount of anger in each side is palpable. Liberals will report you and have you banned on Facebook.

But conservatives will let the liberal rant without reporting them.

Why?

For me, the thought just doesn't occur to me, probably because the idea of freedom of speech (including that which I feel is HATEFUL, and much of liberal speech IS hateful) is so ingrained in me.

Plunder, trauma, brutalizing, etc

Every culture at one point in world history brutalized another culture. Every culture at one point in world history enslaved another race. Every culture at one point in world history plundered another culture. Every culture at one point in world history traumatized another culture. It's not just the white man that is guilty of this. To say it or imply it is VERY ignorant of world history!!

Also, white people in Europe through the ages have also warred with one another, they've invaded one another, they've plundered one another. So to act like they only assaulted non-whites is ignoring obvious european history!!

University of Oklahoma: White People Singing Rihanna a ‘Microaggression’

“Human relations theory” students at the state-funded university are being taught that
they can no longer sing pop-singer Rihanna’s songs because they are white. In a lesson on “privilege” and “microaggressions,” the students were taught that having white students
sing songs of black singers is “insulting” and “racist” because the white students have more privilege than the black students have."

I would have thought they'd see it like this: "Gee, they obviously like Rihanna's music. I
think it's neat they pay tribute to a black woman in this way!" But no, it's "RACIST" to
them! They are so PARANOID as to what's racist and what's not! WOW!

Mark Zuckerberg thinks love can stop ISIS

If love could stop bullying, then it could also stop ISIS. But since it has no chance of stopping something small like bullying, what chance would it have of stopping something big like ISIS?  Mark Zuckerberg, you need to realize just how foolish you sound.

By the way, I was bullied back in High School years ago.  A loving and caring approach didn't work with the bullies.  It won't work with ISIS.
