Deleting old media that has blackface in it is one step closer to us erasing other pieces of history and is akin to Orwell’s 1984

I don’t know why we are just fine with old media that is offensive just getting erased. It’s like we’re ignoring the shit we did in the past by erasing it and making it hard to find instead of just saying “hey, we used to be more fucked up as a society and these things were okay.” We’re painting a false image of humanity and it’s just wrong, and I hate it. It doesn’t actually help anyone to just get rid of these things, all we’re doing is raising a generation of people who don’t know that we did these things. We are keeping them ignorant instead of teaching them why these things are wrong.
