So many people are idolized when they clearly shouldn't be.

Gandhi. He was racist, and a creep. He slept with his own grandniece to show he had “self-restraint”. As an Indian, this shocked me when I found out.

    Not to be a Debbie Downer...but when you look at it objectively, aren't MOST of the "heroes" in history really villains?

    Andrew Jackson. I've seen some people talk about him being such a great president, and since he's from my state, we have to learn about him. He's a total piece of s**t who orchestrated the Trail of Tears, and I don't know how there's still a f*****g statue of him (and Johnson and Polk) outside the state Capitol.

    Thank you! We had a whole section on him in school that talked about how many great things he did for the US and the whole time I was thinking "This man killed my ancestors."

    The freaking spanish explorers. Driving people out of their native homes isn't great. Get your facts straight. I love how repuplicans talk about how immigrants are takeing over without realizing the irony of the fact that most Americans are literally immigrants.

    Most "Americans" (I believe you mean by that "people living in the USA") are not immigrants, rate is 15% or so.

    Union soldiers in the United States civil war. Rape, torture, racism so bad that it led to race riots, robbery, etc. I am not a defender of slavery. I am completely against whitewashed history.

    This happened on BOTH sides, north & south. There were northern troops that were imprisoned or even killed for this. Same for southern troops. It is a sad part of our history
