There is a scene from Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee where an Army officer tells Sitting Bull that he was conquered and then mentioned all the tribes that Sitting Bull conquered and took over.
Imagine if this clip was used in schools. Nobody claims the west has never done anything wrong but to act like the western world has a monopoly on slavery and land conquest is beyond absurd. Just like the idea that non western groups were perfect angels. You could write volumes about slavery in Africa but no, let’s constantly talk about a practice that America abolished in the 1860s.
