I think you are getting dumber as you get older, dude.

Look. America has a pretty defined set of values... well, at least it did until the progressives got here. Stop being gaslighted. Traditional American values are freedom, self-reliance, free market capitalism (not crony capitalism), equality, hard work, strong families, cultural diffusion (now called cultural appropriation by idiots) and personal faith. This has been a staple of the American ideal since the onset of this nation. Are there some VERY backwards people that include racism in there? Yup. But they are mostly in the backwoods of West Virginia and teaching at college campuses.

Were there racists from the time this country was founded? Yes. Were there people working to abolish it from the time this nation was founded? Also YES. You can go back and read texts of prominent men who spoke out against it. Certain Christian sects abolished it immediately. Massachusetts NEVER had slaves under the current Constitution. We fought a war where slavery was the predominant point of disagreement between the warring parties. The Civil Rights movement had tremendous support in the north, as well as pockets of support in the South. I could keep going, but I have [BLEEP] to do.

It is not a traditional American value if it was always a point of contention since this nation was founded. It's ONLY being taught that way by people who want to undermine the American system. You're just too uninformed or principled to tell those people to get bent.
