But in America, we get taught just enough of our own history to not have any idea what it actually means.  We get taught about the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamation and the accomplishments of various old dead white men as if these are important thingsand often they arebut were trained to believe that the fact that Washington and Jefferson were slaveowners is a footnote,  that the fact that women were agitating for the vote in the second half of the 19th century is something that deserves a paragraph of explanation, but Jacksons presidency is worthy of its own chapter.  From the day we learn to read, we are taught to deliberately misread history, often without ever realizing it.  Its just The Way Things Are.      You see, this is why I don't think Blacks could ever truly be American. They will always resent the founding fathers, they will always resent America's slave owning, White Supremacist fore founders , who purposely excluded them from becoming citizens. They will always have a chip on their shoulder, and a grudge against (White) America. Just like Michelle Obama saying for the first time in her life she's actually proud to be American(only because her husband is on the verge of the presidency), and Jeremy Wright saying god damn America!. Blacks will always be bitter towards America and it's pro White, racist history. So why do they choose to stay if they have this deep seeded hatred, this grudge against America? Most of them stay because they have become dependent on government hand outs, they stay to leach off of the system, to rob, steal, rape, and kill Whitey, for retribution. They stay because they know everytime they play the race card, or go out and riot and throw a temper tantrum that they are going to get what they want like a spoiled child. Most Blacks could never be truly American, even the decent law abiding patriotic ones, deep down they know this country was founded by some rather racist White men, for White men, and this will always keep them from being truly proud to be American. They will always have that fish out of water, I don't really belong feeling I think. They will always be disgruntled. This is leading to serious problems as we can see...
