Virescit Vulnere Virtus
You are a fortunate man indeed to have your parents raise you that way. What you were taught are traditional American values that are now being looked upon as racist by liberals.I graduated HS in the late 1960's, is that "the old days"?
I grew up in a working class/WWII GI neighborhood. Lots of people working in factories. We were taught to do better, and believed we had that chance.
My parents taught me everyone was equal, but everyone wasn't treated equally, and I should never do that. Every kid I grew up with felt the same. We were all raised to hope to have it better than our folks, to get educated, to not work in a factory. That's the American way.
Is that what you call
Guilty! If that's brainwashing, more of it would be better.
We called it Mid-Western values.
Strive to be better and help those who can use it.
By social justice I mean the whole DEI push, CRT, LGBTQ and whatever they come up with next.
