I think you will find a whole lot less Westerners denying their past than Chinese...
Yep. There's a large difference between a nation who says "it didn't happen and if it did they deserved it" and one that says "yeah we did some fucked up shit. It was fucked up and bad"
genuinely asking - please give me your sources on where the US government has openly and honestly taken responsibility for and denounced all the things I mentioned
Apologies for slavery and segregation.
I didn’t mention either one of those. You guys really need to work on your reading comprehension
You know what? I'll just give you what you're looking for while taking a shit and then never think of you again.
Get fucked.
What they're doing is called 'sealioning". You finally landed on the proper response ("Get fucked.").
Quite literally the first thing when you google "US government apology"
With all due respect (none), go be a tankie elsewhere
Yikes, someone didn’t even bother to read the article they’re sourcing. How embarrassing.
edit: also, I think you might want to find a different word (e.g., not tankie) to refer to an anti-government political stance. Likely just a buzzword you heard that kinda rolls off the tongue, I’m guessing
Source?
Coming from someone living in a "Western" country that genocided the native population (guess which one!) that will either not admit it, will say "that's what happens in war," or just start screaming incoherently, this is incorrect.
I hate when I’m trying to talk to my friends, family and co-workers and they all start screaming.
That’s why these days I wear ear protection because once you lose hearing you’ll never get it back again.
I learned about the genocide in school. They definitely did not paint the Westerners as the good guys. So I would definitely say that this "Western" country admits it.
Yeah, the genocidal colonialists are really causing a copium shortage here
