Must’ve missed my post on this. Want a good history lesson on this countries transgressions regarding human rights atrocities, watch Netflix’s Who We Are: A History of Racism in America.
Really excellent. Can’t recommend it enough. We have a horrendous history regarding human rights. But we’ve progressed. And historically we haven’t always lived up to our rhetoric. But eventually we’ve tried to expand human rights although with many setbacks.
So, although not without fault. No need for this country to feel self righteous. No country has done more in fighting for human rights around the world than this country. And we should always be on the side of expanding human rights.
However, thru happenstance we have a Supreme Court hell bent on reversing decades of advancements in human rights. And we have one of our two political parties embrace a cult like figure that espouses anti democratic values and wants to take the country towards illiberalism / autocracy.
So we shouldn’t take for granted what we’ve gained. Again, it’s a constant struggle. Arguing over a thing called sportswashing will pale in comparison.
