Nobody ever wants to believe that they're the bad guys, and unless someone forces them to face facts, they're going to ignore it.

See: the United States of America.

The brutality of slavery? "Not my problem. I had nothing to do with it. CRT is the real problem dividing us anyway"

The absolutely evil treatment of indigenous people? "Christopher Columbus was a hero for discovering the New World"

The Confederacy? "Oh, it was just a state's rights issue."

Japanese internment during WWII? "But did you hear about the Nazis?"

The treatment of refugees at our borders? "Here's why separating children from their parents is actually a good thing!"




Simple takes.
