I was young enough and dumb enough that I voluntarily enlisted, and volunteered again to go to Vietnam. They sent me east instead of west, though. Didn't actually make it into a war zone until August of 1990. And even then, I was an REMF. Did serve with draftees, and folks who enlisted in the USAF to avoid getting drafted into the Army or Marines.
They didn't do anything that hasn't been done before, nor since. Including in US History. None of our ancestors were sissies, or they wouldn't have lived to have the children that were also our ancestors. I'm considered white, and much my ancestry is/was actually white, but I've got B+ blood type. That comes from Mongolia. The real answer is that humans are no **** good. With very few exceptions, the folks that live in Israel now are not the ones who took that land from the so-called Palestinians, and they're definitely not the ones who took and destroyed Jericho. THEY are not to blame anymore than you or I for what happened several thousand years ago. WE just get to live with the results. And that is the most basic fact right there. Where where you in 1948? I wasn't even a gleam in my parent's eyes.

John Adams. The same guy who used the Alien and Sedition Acts to imprison his political rivals. Great example!
Though I'm sure he thought he was a good Christian. And you are absolutely right about the basis of our system. Doesn't, of course, mean it stayed that way.
Ok find me another "race" that the .gov has done this level of inspection and criticism of. To the point of putting up webpages and posters in museums.
Ill wait.
I advise you not to hold your breath while you wait.
Two wrongs dont make a right. And in this instance we ARE speaking of the situation there, now, not other situations youre using to distract from the facts. All else you said doesnt change the fact that the wealthy jews stole the land. The people are pissed and rightfully so. Period.
As to what happened when they crossed the Jordan, killing every living thing, men, women, children, horses, donkey's dogs, and so on, karma's a *****, think Holocaust.
We have the National Museum of the American Indian, which is part of the Smithsonian. From what i can quickly find, it has an exhibit called "Ancestors Know Who We Are". There might be more dedicated to the less savory parts of the past, too.
"The experiences of these six artists, explored through painting, photography, basketry, and digital art, speak to issues of race, gender, multiracial identity, and intergenerational knowledge."
But again, what about the whiteness webpage needs an opposing view from our government? I certainly don't agree with all of it, but there is much from our country's past that i also disagree with.
The museum is dedicated to the history of the African American in our country. Hard to separate racism from that. If you don't think some of that has been institutionalized then you'll never agree with the webpage. Not much to be done about that.
And the same guy who wrote "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."
lol, why does it have to be equal?
I certainly never said it was or wasn't. I don't work for the museums, i don't set their policy, budget, or create their content.
If you have an issue with the content you can certainly take it up with them, of course. It's what other groups have had to do with museums for years now. It's not a new thing.
