Like, how is America racist? All right. Are you familiar at all with the concept of structural racism? It's a myth. No, it's not. So tell me why it's true. Not outcomes. Tell me why it's true. So the textbook that you hearken back to in the 1950s, right? I found one of those in Virginia. It was in publication. I saw the tweet. Yeah, I saw it. And so when we think about how do you design curriculum that's historically accurate, that doesn't talk about one group being oppressed over the other, right? And so when you look at that Virginia textbook, I certainly don't argue that that's what we're looking at heading back towards. But my guess is if you were to try to write a curriculum that covers slavery in the U.S. or the Holocaust or whatever and not give the narrative that this group did this horrible thing to the other group, you're going to have to rely on some pretty... But it wasn't groups, though. That's incorrect. Not every white person was a slave owner. Well, that doesn't matter, though, because... Nine out of 13 states abolished slavery by the time a constitution. Here's the other thing. Like, every white person was supportive. In fact, we had abolitionists at the time of the founding. Exactly. So why would you say one group? Well, I mean, you don't have to have every white person do that. No, a majority of white people found slavery to be repreh ensible at the founding. I don't know that if we would have pulled segregation... No, we did, actually, because... In the 50s, we would have found that. Well, hold on. Let's start with slavery. Nine out of 13 states abolished slavery by the time of constitutional ratification. And why did the South secede? Well, they seceded post-cotton gin for economic reasons. We went to war over it, though. To say that America... No, you guys. The South declared war because they expected Lincoln to ban slavery. And he ended up doing it. Well, not for a long time. You know why? Because he wanted the fight to be about national unity, which is a good way to, I think, come wrapping around, right? National unity. So the first few years of the Civil War, he did not express ly say, this war is about ending slavery. He got to it. And he later got to that because the South was more passionate and the North needed... I know, but let's go... You said something I want to focus on, though. One group's doing something to the other. That's just not true, right? It would be a small group of white people that exploited incorrectly a group of black people. The crowds that would show up for the lynchings, according to research that I've read, numbered in 5,000. And they would mail... But then why was slavery being abolished? Take pieces of these people's bodies and souvenir them, right? That's not a small group of people. That's not an isolated event. That's a massive systemic problem, right? Nine states abolished it. Thomas Jefferson wrote in the original draft of the Declaration to King George admonishing him for bringing slavery. The first ever anti-slavery convention was in Philadelphia, chaired by Benjamin Franklin in 1775. Thomas Jefferson got rid of the importation of new slaves in 187. I understand. Guess what? None of that stuff's taught in our schools right now.
