The saying Walk a Mile in my shoes applies.

Having said that, I still cannot agree with removing the history of this country. Whether we like it or not, it happened and removing the evidence does not remove the history books.
Speaking of history, every person on earth has ancestors that were once slaves. It's been going on since the first civilizations in Mesopotamia and China.

Maybe we should erase all history. We could also give everyone some of that sweet reparations money.
