Im not sure you could say it was founded on those things. They did kill the natives, but what % of the landmass was occupied by the natives?
Only the wealthiest people owned slaves. So slavery occurred, but to say the country was founded on it is a stretch
The US and most western countries are the most multicultural countries around… have you looked at the african, asian, middle eastern countries…
Also part of freedom of speech.. free expression and free association literally means you can be racist lol. You can say whatever you want about whichever race, and pick who you hang out with and make friends with. You can even pick who you work with
most of the complaints around racism involve people not understanding how a free country works
I remember when I was in high school a history teacher got mad at me when I referred to the Founding Fathers as the Founding Felons. I also said we should put yellow tape around North America because it was a crime scene. He almost had a heart-attack. He asked me where I got my information and I showed him history books written by Lerone Bennett, Jr., Ivan Van Sertima, and John Hope Franklin and Chancelor Williams. Even as a child, I never brought knives to a gunfight. I always brought facts and receipts. This is why it's important to read and analyze and engage even those who don't share your experience. Not about close-minded hate but about growth and a willingness to explore.
Racism can occur anywhere. If you go for a job interview… the person can be secretly biased and favor whichever race/gender/etc they want.
If you’re actually interested in ending racism you would do away with things like affirmative action, a TV channel specifically for one race, awards specifically for one race, protesting only for specific races, donating only to specific races, not segregating netflix by race, not segregating uber eats by race, etc.
Also if the founding fathers were just buying and using slaves, thats not much different than what nike, apple and others are doing nowadays. Those brands are loved by people who complain of historical slavery.
If someone is racist its literally a personality flaw. Like greed and arrogance. Its good to strive to get rid of greed and arrogance racism, but theyre ultimately all things that you can engage in if you choose to. Just like you can donate to karmelo anthony… other people can donate to the white lady that said the N word… and its laughable that many consider those to be comparable when one of them just said a bad word and the other stabbed someone.
It reminds me of 2020, people were complaining about nazi flags, confederate flags being flown at certain rallies, but refused to even condemn BLM protesters blowing up buildings!
Thats basically what were dealing with, theres a segment of society that considers “hate speech” racist words and symbols to be a bigger issue than people getting attacked or businesses getting blown up.
There is no institutional racism in America. If there were, you wouldnt see people of different races able to excel in every field. Obama wouldnt have ever been president.
Youre talking about non institutional racism. Where private citizens engage in racism. Which is a normal and legal part of any free society. You can racially choose who you talk to, do business with, date, live with etc.

I don't think people deny it as much as people just don't care.
People got bills to pay. Mouths to feed. People of all races are struggling. They don't have the time or energy to focus on racism
