"American" History.... a vast volume of it was written by "white people" who were either influenced by early American mentality of "White Dominance Ideals", some from the ideals of the first white people of various European Ethnicity that arrived, to and through the British and other European aims to carve up the nations, all of such mentality culminated to lead this nation into many atrocities.
From the very first who sought ways and means to first seek to make abusive usage of the early American Indians in their quest for precious metals and other resources, and later the same mentality led the country into slavery, and to the engagement in later times to pursue Mass Slaughter of American Indians across the landscape of this nation. Other frames of
"American" History became influenced by the Confederate Antebellum Ideals, and later in mass publications during the 100 yrs of Jim Crow Ideological grooming.
Over the long span of time since white people from various European Lands happened upon the land of America, they proceeded to make many claims and implement various laws and pass policies which were passed and made into public ideology, and the documentation of their acts and conducts was sanitized to make themselves, the hero, and in some cases with claims of being victims which in turn was to make themselves look civil, as a claim of self defense for the slaughters they proceeded to engage. They made treaties with no intent to honor them, only to give them time to set up settlements and implement military installations. (We see the same habit being engaged in Palestine by the Israeli Jewish, with incessantly furthering their encroachment and acts of military containment, and claims as being victims, to future their encroachment and to seek to justify their acts of military containment of the Palestinians)
The cultural ideals of dominance was enacted in ways which impeded some who wanted to write the truth from getting it published, and others who wrote and exposed some truths, had to do so craftily in how they wrote, while other simply wrote around the real truths of "American" History.
The true history which can and does contain the truths of "all" the vile within America's past and within it present day, has been initiated and perpetuated by those of European Descent upon and across this land for 100's of years.

Every other ethnicity that found itself upon the lands of America, by force or by immigration from NON European heritage, did not come to be a divided people or even those enslaved made efforts to work with the white people of various European Descent, and any others.... and simply asked them to "honor and respect their own words of Democracy and its own Declaration of Independence and its own Constitution. in turn, the white people of various European Descent chose instead, to claim non white human being were not people, and were not to be respected for nor of being individual persons. The very poor whites were considered and treated with the same regard as their ancestry's former status of serfs and peasants, who were to be beholding to the white wealthy and groomed and programmed to adopt the ideals which the white wealthy set forth before them and upon them of promoting the racism, skin color bias, skin based bigotry, and segregationist ideals.
"American" History as was written by the white people of various European Descent has many flaws and omissions and false claims.

Inventions and creations and discoveries by people from many lands has continually been hijacked and stolen and credited to the promotion of "white superiority" by claims of white people.
History of the World of various nations, by those from lands not under the constraints of white washed history, has recorded much, that is continually being uncovered in these days and ages by modern society who has the technological means to share it with the world.
The great tragedy of what is called "American History" has done a greater injustice unto the society of humanity and even more vile injustice to the various ethnicities of people who have contributed much to this land and all that has been developed and created upon this land.

All the ill and abuses and misuses in society and within the social sphere in existence today, is the outcome of such a long history of such vile manner and flawed documentations and massive omission and hidden truths. Followed by a system of such vile groomed mentality which has continually made savage acts upon non whites and upon the system of government and taxation, and proceeded to take the "minority non white people money" and deny the services and benefits it can and is designed to provide away from the people of non white ethnicity. (They) have become what the Declaration of Independence was established to prevent, which is taxation without representation of the ideals and values and needs of the people. It has become one driven over many years to service the wealthy at the expense of the people.

We see it overtly, in those of wealth and power, denying the basic's of simple decency and care to establish National Medical Care for American People. Today, we watch as the Republican System has set out to enrich the wealthy by the recent tax bill and the follow up of seeking every means to cut and deny services to the people with their own tax money.

"American" History has many flaws, lies and omissions.

The average white person today, simply wants to live and they will interact and many show equilibrium in respect to multicultural people who are non white. Sadly, there are some who never evolved beyond the historical grooming ideals set within them from the history of Jim Crow Ideological training.
Those who have the mentality and educational awareness understand the lies of the teaching of history, as well as they understand the omission and many detest the acts and conduct of their ancestry, but do not hate their ancestry because they see them as [people influenced and indoctrinated by the times of Jim Crow saturation] - there are many white people today, who want not to be seen or judged by the mentality of the racist saturation that was wide spread across the nation for centuries and decades. Still some come from a historical background where their ancestry were never supporters of slavery, racism or segregationist ideals.

Some struggle with learning the Real Truths, though they don't seek to repeat the acts of the past, they find it painful to investigate the learn the truths they were taught to ignore and not inquire about.

The nature of the internet has exposed much, but also has brought many to learn what they were taught not to learn and not to seek to learn, and it has brought many to discover truths of many things.

We still have a mass of people who refuse to acknowledge what is overt in society, of the capabilities of all people, and some cling to the madness of the past in their aims to try and cling to fictions of white superiority delusions. We have people who still think America tax money is only suppose to benefit white people and white ideas; and we have a mass of people who resent the tax monies utilized to support any program that is beneficial to minorities in large numbers.

We have many who understand that for 100 yrs black peoples tax money was directed to improving white communities and designed to keep taxes low for whites, by using the tax money of black people to fix and build and improve their communities. They balk at tax money being used in minorities, which leads to the resentment some feel about paying taxes.
If historically taxes had been used fairly, we'd all pay higher taxes, to ensure that all communities are served equally and we'd not see it as a unfair burden.

There is so much to learn about the REAL TRUTH'S that cannot be put into a communication forum, and there is much that communication forums need to open their mind to, and not be so eager to try and block, deny, and hide postings, because they don't want to face truths they have been groomed to ignore and deny and avoid. This forum should open its mind on many issues, if it expects to represent members of an entire political party.
