Bro, I don’t know where you’re at but Trail of Tears is taught all over the US. In your own comments people were saying that it was taught in Texas, Florida, Ohio, etc. I learned it and I’m from a small town that is definitely rural, underfunded, and conservative. People in other countries were talking about how they had it as part of their curriculum.
Listen, I’m guessing that you’re young but maybe that’s a huge assumption on my part. What you should take away from the other post is it’s okay to be wrong and it’s okay to be embarrassed. But you need to learn grace, humility, and not to take yourself so seriously.
What you should have said was "Oh, I didn’t learn about it and assumed it wasn’t taught everywhere. My bad, thanks for educating me. " Don’t double down and then go throw shade on everyone who contributed to your discussion.
I get that your original sentiment comes from a place of deep empathy. I live with someone who is a tribal member of a tribe who literally had to walk the Trail of Tears. It is normal to have big feelings about what happened. It’s also normal to feel helpless over the current state of the world (this post).
But like, also, chill.
So many. Everything I love goes away. The first that comes to mind is Crescent brand au jus. It was the best out there, period.
The next is the bruschetta chicken ciabatta sandwich that Jack in the Box used to have. Amazing.
Uno candy bars are technically still around but impossible to find. I love those little bastards.
There are more but I can’t think of them. Do the myriad of products that changed their recipes thinking no one would notice count? I noticed. Sometimes the new thing is dead to me.
Also those old “fire” “rain” element drinks (sobe?) were unbelievably good. In fact sobe was so good in the 90s/00s but changed recipes and packaging so that stuff is bleh to me now.
Original Surge cola. They changed it for the relaunch and it never was quite right. I used to have one every day before [sport] practice in high school.
Oh! Trader Joe’s had this pepperjack quiche that was out of this world. Haven’t seen it in years. It was the only reason for me to go there.
Edit: this post made me hungry and sad
