    Great video…minus the code words ("…and brown") to allow others to exploit Black history for their own gain.

    I learned most of these in school in fact I always say American history is one of the most over taught aspects of any era in history. I had over 5 years of learning specifically dedicated to it in another 3 years during world History whenever they covered it in part. 6 years if you include college.
    How the third verse exist but we don't sing it it's irrelevant to teach most people don't know the second stanza either(how will people know we didn't like the British in 1814) because learning about the third verse doesn't really do anything it would unless you want to replace it in which case you have the same exact argument to replacing the Constitution "It calls black people 3/5 except It doesn't do that anymore. What's with that?! Are they trying to steal history"
    Really using National what else to judge anything. The top 10% of people own 70% of the wealth what a useless metric to judge anything. Wealth is in the pie to begin with and if you must stick with that stupid ass metaphor it's a pie that will always get bigger.
    The second amendment was not about black people. First of all there were little to no restrictions on who could own what guns to begin with which was why it wasn't initially included so whenever people say fathers wouldn't have people own cannons well they did and they actually had one of the shipping magnets owned the prototypes of the would-be machine guns as well so yes almost all guns were allowed. Speaking on the history of it in 1619 the British had a law stating that all Protestants were allowed and encouraged to carry arms to prevent against a tyrannical monarchy given that this exact mindset is what led to the successful revolution, aka the minute men, he would seem prudent that the founders of the government would codify this exact logic into law to make certain that it would be borderline impossible to remove this belief.
    The institution of policeings primary, secondary, tertiary purposes were not to capture slaves they were to uphold the law which sometimes included capturing runaway slave. The first police force was Boston which US also got from London, which got that from the Romans, so there's a huge long legacy of existing police forces that would have been much more of an appropriate origin than runaway slaves. In fact if the police were returning slaves then the South would have never enacted the fugitive slave act of 1850 which allowed Southern posse to travel into northern states to get the slaves back. If they were already being returned that law would have been pointless.
    I've lived in the north and I've lived in the south and I will say that while I detest that flag relying on the creator's history is dumb. The original meaning of the swastika was a Buddhist symbol of peace see how symbols can change over time. The Confederate flag is mostly flown by the poor whites in the south aka the people that couldn't afford a slave and who would have been most affected by a Sherman's salt the earth technique and that's where their culture is they are remembering.
    Let's grant that Francis Scott Key got his wish and all the slaves revolted and so the British won the revolution and the territories largely stayed the same, France never has a revolution, France maintain control of the Louisiana Purchase because they weren't going to sell that British. manifest destiny never happened; so by the time world war I rolls around you don't have that strong dissident breakaway of former hessianic Nationals. Those people would all still be German which means the Axis or the Austrians when one of those two wars so congratulations you get your wish and we can all live under either the country that literally invented gassing people or the country who perfected gassing people. Victory I guess
