- How is America to be defined? By its failures or its triumphs? Today, there seems to be an obsession with the former and a dismissal of the latter. Is this dark vision of the freest and most prosperous nation on earth an accurate narrative or a cynical distortion? James Robbins, columnist for USA Today and author of "Erasing America," considers that question in this video. How we view America's past will very much shape America's future.

Script:
Do you remember America?
If you read about it in a history textbook, you probably learned about a land of oppression, racism, sexism, income inequality, police brutality, and imperial wars. (Aside from that, it was a great place.)
That is how America is portrayed in most American high schools and colleges-and in America’s media, films, and by its progressive politicians.
In the words of filmmaker Michael Moore, America is “a nation founded on genocide, built on the backs of slaves, and maintained through the subjugation of women to second-class citizenship and economic disempowerment.”
Is that America’s history? Is that who Americans were-and are?
George Orwell understood that the most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
History is much more than a collection of facts. History, and our understanding of it, tells us who we are as a people in the same way your personal memories and experiences define and shape who you are.
Wipe out your memory, and you wipe out your identity.
When you raise a generation of Americans to hold their country’s past in contempt by exaggerating America’s faults and ignoring its triumphs, then they will have no respect for American institutions or the beliefs on which the nation is based.
It hasn’t always been this way. Until the last few decades, liberals and conservatives alike shared a common understanding of America’s origins, its history, and its mission of spreading liberty-within America and around the world.
They recognized America as the country of the Pilgrims and Jamestown, of the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence, of the individual rights won through revolution and secured in the U.S. Constitution.
This was the country of the frontier spirit and of almost unlimited possibilities; the country that paid for the sin of slavery with the carnage of its Civil War; of economic dynamism and endless invention; of unparalleled individual opportunity; and the country that defeated fascism and communism in the 20th century.
Previous generations took all this for granted and reveled in it.
So what changed?
Starting in the 1960s, a new, so-called “progressive,” narrative took hold that sought not to uplift, inspire, and unite, but to demean, degrade and divide. It sought to replace the pride of American achievement with shame.
Ironically, this all happened while America was making extraordinary strides in civil rights-especially for minorities and women.
But anything less than perfection-which can never exist, given that every society is composed of flawed human beings-is now considered a total failure; and victims of the past are elevated as an indictment of the present.

Well to be fair a lot of Eastern Europeans and Central Asians are going to Russia

Russia isn’t losing people, neither is China.
we think america is the only country people want to go to because we are biased towards america and we see the issue with immgration going on rn, but just like me, you know nothing about immigration in China and although groups have been historically escaping from Russia many more groups have also been historically escaping to Russia. Things are a lot more complicated than you think

From a humble admirer of America that lives in Brazil I tell: remember to love your country, the true keeper of many good things that exist in our world. Cherish America and honor those giants that created this great nation.
Thank you! I promise to teach my children and as many others as possible!
Yes. I am from South Korea and i would also like to say this county saved us from China and North Korea
Sorry guys but the left is about to outnumber us. Don’t think we will be America much longer
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you Brazil, a country that also holds great promise for the future, if only your leaders will let the people flourish
As a Chinese who was borned in China and lived in China for 9 years, I have to say, America is what gave me happiness, and freedom of being who I am.
Believe it or not, it was the bible-based constitution and praying Christians that created the freedom and happiness you and I still enjoy today. Now, we have a political battle and a spiritual war which will decide what happens to them.
Thanks to the Civil Rights movement and the people who died fighting for it.
@@bondyebeniw9183 The Constitution contradicts the Bible to a great degree tho.
America was founded by the acknowledgement of God. But the atheist liberals, because of their hatred to God, want to change it becomes a country under Satan. No longer LOVE, TRUST, PASSION, COMPASSION, PEACE, INTEGRITY, GENTLENESS, KINDNESS. Those are gone. What's left now are SELFISH, EGO, GREED, SUSPICION, HATRED, RUDENESS, ANGER, FOUL MOUTH, TALKING BS, etc.
@@tasinal-hassan8268 Please prove it. The constitution was made based on Biblical Christianity Values.
I'm from the UK. I watched my country destroyed by the rampant self hatred preached by the upper classes, in schools and the media, where Americans patriotism was sneered at and mocked. Now watching the same cancer proliferate in my adopted home breaks my heart.

The sad thing is that some people are glad America is falling apart
@CodeName F1am3 yea why not when its not your country i mean am i worried Venezuela is dying? No, why? because its doesn't concern me the only people who should be worried and will make it stand strong is us Americans
@CodeName F1am3 you know ungrateful people don't go far after all the things America has done for the world, this platform is ours but we let others use it, the phones every where are American either it android or an iPhone. Americans invented planes, TV, and many more if you guys cant appreciate one thing created by America then that is not fair at all
@CodeName F1am3 fool so them being made in china because of cheap labor makes them Chinese phones right? so that means all the iPhone x that were made in India are also Indian phones right?
We have a Toyota factory here in America i guess Toyota is now an American car company, fool your ignorance is above and beyond.
Then about Samsung the operating system {Android} is own by Google, they control everything like updates and so on, all Samsung did was make the body which is the hard ware while the software which you are using right now whether Android or iOS is controlled by America fool go to google and search.
@CodeName F1am3 what do you mean corrupt, is that my argument or you forgot? read the top again
@CodeName F1am3 ok now i get what you are saying
I lived in 3 countries and now I am a U.S citizen. People here have no idea how good they have it. This is a great country with a great history.
The problem with freedom is that having it makes you take it for granted. And what's worse is that sometimes the only way to be grateful for what you have is to see what life would be like without it. By that time, it's hard to get back.
Of course we know how good we have it. Why do you think we try so hard to keep the scum out so they don't come in here and ruin it?
Please tell every leftist moron!
What where the other countries?
Thank you P M and welcome. My great grandparents were the same, they were from a foreign country, immigrated, worked hard, loved America and were forever grateful.
"This country has shed more blood for the freedom of other people than all the other nations in the history of the world combined, and I’m tired of people feeling like they’ve got to apologize for America.” Fred Thompson
I miss Fred... thanks for the reminder, great quote!
As an american, I only Apologize when i DONT get the job done.
As far as freedom is concerned, I would apoligize to the world, because bloodshed aside...
We still got work to do....
Marty Fenton literally wrong
@Box Top you're right. I was never taught about ww2 or Vietnam or the cold war and only devoted myself to learning about it at 28. such a shame most people don't even know much from the 20th century
The U.S. had the chance to use the Internet and the tools of fast information exchange to spread freedom around the world. This has happened sporadically such as the Arab Spring. But the owners of the big information gateways are Marxist and are not interested in freedom. Google has knuckled under to Communist China.

It’s part of its history, but we should recongize our countries failures and learn from them and own up too them. But we should also recongize our impact on the global scale and how we have impacted it in a positive manner
🙌🙌🙌
We should recognize our accomplishments more, because a lot of the things we complain about are no longer things today such as slavery or are not much of a problem
I am 9 and idk what that means
@@DivinesLegacy Never focus on one side. Always objectively look at both accomplishments and failures in history to learn from them. Never try to erase / correct the past. Obviously,the America of the 21st century is broken.
Dr. FeelGood Yes, I was just saying we should look at our accomplishments more, because as a society we tend to belittle our accomplishments and magnify our failures. So I think we should equalise them. And I don’t agree that 21st century America is broken.

This very day in my high school class, when the Pledge of Allegiance came on, no one stood up. I wanted to stand but felt like I would be singling myself out. Now I realize my mistake. I will not remain seated again.
you may be singled out in your class, but your class is just a small group, while outside in the real world you will know who to look for.
Don't forget that evil only spreads because good people do nothing.
In my school, you’ll probably be singled out if you DON’T stand. I wish you luck and thank you for doing the right thing
Good on you, kid. Keep fighting the good fight.
I remember whe we added "under God" to the pledge and EVERYBODY was estatic !!! 1956
what??? I'm only 30 and we used to stand every day!! What the hell is going on in our schools?!!
In high school I learned both about our failures and triumphs. About our set backs and our successes, and I think it’s important to understand both. Sure we’re not perfect and sure we do some good in the world. But we cannot ignore one side or another. America isn’t the worst country in the world, and never has been, but it’s also not perfect, and never has been.
America the GREATEST country that has EVER or Ever will exist.
Chris Dallas, “ever has”, YES. “Ever will”, we don’t know that
This is certainly not the America I was raised in. Nor the one that I went to the military to protect. We must fight for our freedoms if we wish to keep them.
This is what you fought for and you need to get over it

Exactly. I am from Brazil and despite the big differences between our countries, both of the countries live in the same process
Ofcourse you where not raised to an evil America, but you have to agree that it is more important to remember the bad things a you done rather than the Good so you dont make the same mistake again.
The same way, a country should be proud of the Good things, but Always remember the misstakes and carry them with you as a reminder!

Make America Great Again
What changed is that China and Arab countries started paying a lot of money to disempower the U.S. Think about it, this only started after these guys started becoming wealthy and gained influence. They pay leftist media (or make their own channels like Al Jazeera) to push the narrative that America is terrible. "A house divided against itself cannot stand". So they do exactly that.
Then learn your history. We need to fight them on their own terms.
@@Zygorhiza divide and conquer. One of the most basic but effective strategies ever created.
It really all started in the 1950s, when misguided young intellectuals began to question our success, then they crashed the system in the 1960s, and it's been sinking ever since.

@CodeName F1am3 ?
Ever since I was a kid, I've been drawn to america (I am from the UK). Like, almost obsessed. Just thinking about, picturing, imagining living and being in America gave me chills. It's always been impossible to describe, it's something to do with the way it looks, the sky, the wide roads and beautiful houses, the spirit of the people, the accent and way they talk, the big cities and the huge, heart fluttering wilderness, the history and the present. The sunshine, the winters, the variety of towns and nature. And as I've grown older, and learned more; the character of the people. Nice, good hearted. Who tell stories about kindness and good winning over evil, effort being rewarded, cruelty being defeated. The ease with which people talk to eachother, regardless of race or ethnic or cultural differences. The genuine warmth and compassion, the sense of community and pride. It's all one big mesh of awesome, and I dream of living there one day. I hope I am not seeing the end of the America that's had a deep seated sense of "home" in my soul since I was 3. Please guys, do your best to get through this tough time, and ignore the people who are constantly trying to boil your bloods in anger at eachother and make you feel ashamed of who you are. No country I know of has as much right to be PROUD of itself for all the good it has done and for the greatness of its people.

Understand our history: the good and the bad. And work for a better America. The future is ours.
MAGAsaki 2020
Great common sense, dude.
I agree with Mythron about the future is what we make it. But this video has as much misinformation than its trying to dispell. America was "founded" by Columbus for economic purposes and exploited local populations and lands, The American economy was built off the poor (slaves and low wage workers), and the civil war ended slavery, but didn't "pay" for the awful deeds as civil rights came nearly 100 years after. You said America was built on the principle of liberty, these are major events in American history and liberty was not part of it for a large portion of the population, unless you were a white male and owned land.
Let's face it, the right is losing power and they can feel it. As blacks, women, and the lower class gain more power, their arguments about liberty and an unjustified fear mongering make them look like hypocrites. "Ironically, this all happened while America was making extraordinary strides in civil rights", because of those who were oppressed want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
We learn history to understand how we got to where we are and learn from those before us. I agree that some universities fall way more to the left than to the right, but knowing the facts and interpreting them how the Right wants to see it is just as bad. We all know what this country did, and it was wrong and it is time to learn, react, and improve. Now like Mythron said, The future is ours.

But it's obvious that our incompetent European "parliament" and leaders are to blame for shamelessly allowing millions of them in, not America.

Our problems have been many, yet take a close look at how people are treated in the Middle East, India, and China then get back to me.
We try and try hard to make the world a better place regardless of the incorrect thoughts of those who “feel” otherwise.

Born in 1976. Last generation to learn “American history” before “social studies” replaced it.
Man I'm a High School Senior and took American History Sophomore Year, American Government Junior, and now as an elective, American Military Experiences I&II. I covers Revolution to end of Civil war and II covers WWI to present day.
I have a social studies book from 1982* and 2013. The difference on how they recorded history is astounding. 1982* lays out the facts while 2013 just seems to apologize for anything white people did.
*Edit: I found the book, and it was from 1982. The kid who had the book first wrote 1983 in it because that was the year he finished with the book.
Wow
Yikes.

How do I remember America? "As my Home." I see people invading my home on a daily bases, telling me what to say, and what to think. A people who cannot love their nation will lose that nation.
We are a Christian nation.
@Galileo GaliLIE It's normal or should be, for Americans to love their nation. Has been that way for generations.
The thumbnail is Eddy when Brett asks him about Perfect Pitch
Lest we forget
Phrase
The
phrase "Lest we forget" is commonly used in war remembrance services
and commemorative occasions in English speaking countries, in particular
Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day. Before the term was used in reference to
soldiers and war, it was first used in an 1897 Christian poem written
by Rudyard Kipling called "Recessional". The phrase occurs eight times;
and is repeated at the end of the first four stanzas in order to add
particular emphasis regarding the dangers of failing to remember.
Historical IGNORANCE is eroding today's generation's understanding of the great beliefs that America was founded upon, and its far-reaching POSITIVE impact it has had upon the entire world.
Do we have a problem
America is the best country to ever exist in the history of the world. People still know this. It’s by far the most desirable destination to live
@Nicolas GARCIA Los millones de mexicanos que están de ilegales dicen lo contrario wey.
Frilleon Do you have a source on that?
America is getting topped by European countries in most regards
America is a nation of freedom. The first nation on Earth to amplify this ideology like no other but it still has to ensure that it believes in domestic freedoms. Throughout our history, America has not supported domestic freedoms for all of its populace. Especially with voting rights. As a democratic republic, we still dont allow the majority of the populace to be the deciding factor of elections.
Ah yah? Thanks no. I prefer Germany. Id love a beach and coast and all, that wide landscapes you got. Yeah. But I like the autobahn and that I do not under any circumstances have to fear to get into a gunfight.
America: "Mr. Trump, I don't feel so good..."
The rest of the world: Ah thank god
That picture (like, the clickbait) makes me think that America is saying: "Mr. President? I don't feel so good. I don't wanna go."
U.S.A. is the beacon of Freedom around the World!
So why overthrow democratic governments and reformers in Iran, Nicaragua, Chile and Guatemala just to establish brutal dictators? That does not fit to my definition of freedom
@@sonofyemen9700 Again, you are the utopia regressives this video is addressing. No one said America is perfect, but every country has supported tyrants at one point or another. Considering how much the US intervened in other countries since the WWII, supporting dictatorship over democracy only 3 times is a pretty good track record.
@@Dennis-nc3vw yep
@@Dennis-nc3vw There are more examples sadly. US support for Saddam Hussein from 1980 until the invasion of Kuwait, which included the delivering of poison gas which he used to gas Kurds and Iranian civilians. From 1979 on the US and other Western countries supported the Taliban, parts of them later on formed al-Qaeda and executed the 9/11 attacks. 1980 America overthrew the Turkish government, they also supported the brutal greece military Junta, overthrew governments in Argentina, backed genocidal autocrats in Pakistan, Indonesia and so on. And even today the US supports Saudi Arabia which is a brutal monarchy that kills it's own people and funds terrorism and had huge involvement regarding 9/11. In addition it is bombing Yemen back to the stone age, willing to let them starve. I am not saying America is the most brutal country, obviously nobody can compete with Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union or China (especially under Mao). But for modern day standards (post WW2/non communist nations) it is the most cruel and death bringing nation and number one supplier of autocracies, dictators and so on. I don't remember any coup hosted by Canada, post WW2 Germany, Italy and so on (eventho they support autocrats that got into power via US coup). If the USA can archieve their goals with democracy they do just that. If archieving their goals requieres overthrows of democracies, allying with terrorists, mass murderers and dictators they will also do that.
@@Dennis-nc3vw Of course there are even more coups and back ups of autocrats which i still didn't mention. Especially in Latin America the US has been pretty involved, if needed i can look up a full list. For now we can add South Vietnam, it's President surpressed/executed the people that hard that they burned themselves in protest.
Love to our American friends from Malta!
Those who will not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, but those who cannot forgive the past will never escape it. Understanding of the sins in our past, while also acknowledging the truth and core upon which this nation was founded (a truth she failed to live up to, at least at first) is the key to making this a better place.

America is the most successful and ethnically diverse country in history ... well done 🇺🇸
@Yankee Ethnicity is not the problem. Political views and mentality is the problem. And yeah, diversity in that is by no means a strength.
@Yankee yep
@Yankee diversity is fine, but the people coming in need to assimilate, we used to have that, and when we got refugees, it was just a few families, not 100,000 a year
Successful by which metrics? The USA lags behind quite a few other countries in literacy, average life span, and certain other "quality of life" statistics; while those aren't failures, they certainly aren't successes. And while the USA is diverse, it isn't THAT diverse. The overwhelming majority of Americans are Christian or at least profess to be, and an even greater majority of us speak English and no other language; Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and other languages are either very marginalized or their public profile in our culture is condemned by millions of Americans. Not to mention the fact that least 75 percent of Americans are primarily Caucasoid. By any measure of diversity, India has us beat: no fewer than four major religions (Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism); approximately three dozen languages, each one spoken by at least 1 million people; and at least three biological human races (Caucasoid, Veddoid, Mongoloid), none of which can be called a marginalized minority from a political standpoint.
I thought Brazil was the most ethnically diverse country
If you're a woman, gay, an ethnic minority, practice any religion, or are an atheist, there is no greater, safer, more prosperous place with the most justice than the Western world.
@Don'tPlayOverwatch Where in my post did I specifically say or even mention "America"? I clearly said "Western world". Europe is the "Western world". People refer to Western culture as places encompassing Scandinavia, Europe, Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and to a degree or extent places like Israel, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.

@Daniel Nguyen Good job at avoiding Mosin's "name one lie" request.
I remember one of my professors when I was on a semester abroad in Israel talking about how unusual America was. He said "You teach your people about the successes AND the failures of your history. Do you know how rare that is?"
I was so proud of America that day. People are imperfect, so of course our history is going to be imperfect, but America has been able to look at herself and move forward and believe we can be better and strive for it.
Only seeing the faults of something as beautiful as our country's history is like only see the faults of some of the greatest people you've ever known or only seeing the faults of yourself. Shaming doesn't help people or countries to get better. Use the good to give you confidence to confront and change the bad.
I am72, and have learned quite a bit along my journey through life. I feel that myself, like my country, has made mistakes but evolved from them. I regret my errors along the way, but use them to try to better myself. Same with our country, and others for that matter. As people evolve through education and mistakes, so do nations. We are not perfect. Our country is not perfect. But judge us not by our past but by our efforts to learn from our mistakes and better ourselves. No one is perfect. No country is perfect. So we need to stop throwing stones at each other and strives to learn from the mistakes of past generations and ourselves. We each have our own back yard to clean up, so stop being consumed by that of others. I love Prager because it addresses the elephant in the room. Unless there is a country or person somewhere who has mastered the art of walking on water, don’t be so quick to judge. We are all being judged by someone that has all the facts. Appreciate your blessings and stop complaining about America. It is a great country, mistakes and all. Love her or leave her. Thank God, that is still a choice!

@Clemente Nicado Yelmene
Only true if that history isn't fiction, misrepresented, or blown out of proportion.
wrongway1100 none of it is so...
@Clemente Nicado Yelmene That is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a while. For the love of God, please pick up a real history book that deals with slavery and its effects on economy.
@Clemente Nicado Yelmene Slavery only made a small proportion of Southerners rich. Most people in the South did not have slaves. Neither did anyone in the North. It did not "make" America.
@Clemente Nicado Yelmene You're partially right.
Slavery in the south was nowhere near as efficient as 'slavery' in the north. Slaves would regularly sabotage the produce (rightfully so) in the south. There were many other issues but this was one of the defining factors in the economic success of the north and the country as a whole.
To say America was built on slavery is fallacious at best, it is to deny the fact that America was decades or even centuries ahead of the rest of the world. America didn't enslave anyone, only purchased them and (later) freed them. Considering some places in Africa still have slavery today, I'd say those who were lucky enough and strong enough to see through the more sinister sections of history would be very glad they did so.
What this man has to say is very important and timely. The importance cannot be overstated enough. We The People, need to take back this country from those corrupt politicians and College professors who seek to completely destroy it. We need to hold politicians accountable to the people and constitution. I have only seen the rare individual who sees these problems and wants to do something about it, but unfortunately most people are just like so many sheep being led to the slaughter. Thanks.
This opened my eyes. The things you said reminded me of all the bad things that happened in the States which seems really negative; but then the graphics showed me that this was wrong and the good things are happy and inspiring and the bad things are associated with words like demean, degrade, and divide.
I don't even mind that the good points were just the bad points with 'no longer exist' or 'abolished' at the end. I guess everything works out for the better eventually. Top marks.

"One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern half part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. *ALL KNEW* that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war." - Abraham Lincoln (2nd Inaugural address)
About 200,000 former slaves fought in the Civil War. Most Liberal professors agree that their sole focus was to secure the Infinity Stone located on General Lee's bookshelf.

Patrícia Santos there is no peace without war
@@PatriciaSantos-qt9lw They became the leaders of counter culture, the deans and professors of colleges, and are teaching the future of America to hate it and tear it apart.
Hippies were not Leftists. They were not political. They did not march or participate in protests. The goal was to work on spiritual matters.
The Leftists who had long hair were Berkeley hang outs.
The Vietnam war was rejected by Hippies. It was proven to be an illegal war. LBJ lied.
Hippies simply were suburban whites who saw consumerism as shallow. They saw establishment churches as material. So they rejected materialism and carved out a slightly different lifestyle.
Marxist Herbert Marcuse is the father of the New Left: he created “Make Love not War” so the hippies did that. But they were not Marxists. They grew up to fear Communism. They lived through the Red Scare, the 1959 Cuban missile crisis and the Vietnam War. They rejected Communism.

We need a civil war for many reasons and things will heal just fine, its time for the leftist globalist to be stopped !
doom7ish I actually think it would be a really good idea and would help the victors truly have what they are fighting for in this cold-war we have happening right now. But in a flat out conclusive result. If the diabolical Left miraculously wins, then the country is theirs. But imagine what could do if pure Conservatism was throughout every office in the land.
how do you have a civil war and not have it go nuclear? the states that possess nukes would start nuking the ones that don't, it'd be a total clusterfuck.
Be N S O N, that’s... quite true. 2nd Civil War but with nuclear warfare! Sooner or later America will be set on fire by itself
