As an American Indian, I might say, "right after the 4th of July."
But it's not actually that simple.
Reality is that the victors write the history books. Why are folks mad because slavery wasn't mentioned? Because somebody, somewhere,
hasn't gotten over it, yet.
Hey, I'm the first to tell you that we Natives got screwed, Custer had it coming and Andrew Jackson can rot in Hell: but the Federal government is no longer the reason that many of my brethren are social and economic pariahs.
That's their fault.
When the lot of apologist black -- and white -- folks assume responsibility for their

by which they continue to define themselves, in a state-level proclamation.
Because, you know, it won't matter.
