So: yes America is a great country and resonsible for many great things for many people and nations around the world.
And: yes there are shameful parts of America’s past that all honest and virtuous Americans deserving of the name, who have benefitted from its greatness (and especially those who boast ceaselessly about it) should be ahsamed of, and recognize that while officially over, have had long lasting impacts. Like official slavery and unofficial racism.

And tothe commenter who exlained his anonyity by his experience with liberal lynch ob in the ast, shame on them,
