Yeah Im with others on this. We were taught this and all the gory details. Same with slavery. We were not sheltered from the reality of any of it.

Just to give you some clarity, in 9th grade our teacher told us a historical account in which a slaveowner punished his slave by literally shitting in his mouth and sewing it shut.

We were made to understand the brutality of slavery.
