In the deep south US we're starting to see rhetoric come back around that Slavery imparted positive learning and skills to the enslaved. Following this trend, I suspect we're less than a year away from some ####ing ignoramus publicly positioning that residential schools were positives for the indigenous peoples and they should be thanking the church/government for civilizing them.
Sometimes i feel like the decline in direct personal violence among most populations allows idiots like this to feel as if their thoughts are valid, when really a good punch in the mouth should fix things up for a bit.
