It's so hard for me to believe just how ruthless and hateful our country was back then


Yep. I have family that I know was involved in crazy racist bullshite back in the 50's and 60's. Heard rumors a distant cousin had set a black church on fire.

And the most amazing part is that 99% of the white people involved in shite like this all would have said they were Christians.
All of these people in this day and age always bitch about how the world was so much better back in the good ole days can shove it up their arse. We are a much better country these days.

Thats what I never really understood. Holding a bible in one hand and killing someone with the other. I know it goes back long before this but still.

At least we try to identify what's wrong and try to get it right. We're a pretty young country. There are countries centuries older than us that have committed or have been committing atrocities just as heinous, and on larger scales for ages. In many cases, their only remorse seems to be that they were caught, defeated.
