The article talked about how slavery still affects America and how it
affects black people socially and mentally. The article does hold in
truth in saying that the topic of slavery hasn't truly been confronted
yet. It was certainly probably the worst aspect of human civilization.
With so many injustices, it's rational to try not to think about it or
even take pride in it. Just as you would not take pride in a loss or a
mistake. However, we have pride as Americans that we're the greatest
country in the world. When someone keeps bringing back the mistake you
did, you don't like it and that's why many people try to ignore or
even belittle the topic of slavery to make it less "severe" like the
banning of Huckleberry Finn.
