Quote:White folks as a whole confound me. They seem to have this collective sense that it is somehow ok for them to bleach the whole world and make it white in their image. History is full of examples I could use.
Doc, this is a well-acknowledged problem, a national source of shame, and the subject of massive reparations/criminal proceedings in the modern day. On the basis of this particular case, I think that you are mistaken to make such a generalization. I can't speak for people in the deep south, but I do not know a single person who thinks that residential schools were "okay". I'm sure that there are some of them around, but the vast majority feel the same way that I do.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
