This is a weekly reminder to read "The Open Veins of Latin America" if you& #39;re from: USA, England, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands and other european countries as well.

Please read this book and understand the role your countries had and STILL have on South America
And by role I mean: explotation, genocide, slaughter, destruction, and many many other aspects.

I don& #39;t blame anyone for the crimes committed on the past, but I sure hold you accountable if you choose to turn your eyes away and pretend your history isnt tainted with blood.
You don& #39;t have to read this book rn if you don& #39;t want to, you don& #39;t have to read and learn everything in a single day, hell, not even in a single year. There is too much to unpack.

But be aware of South America, be aware of us and be aware of what happens here.
If it sounds like I am being petty, well, I am sorry, but I am just angry. Everytime I stop to read smth abt my country& #39;s history, I get angry. I get sad. I get frustrated.

And you know what makes me angrier? Knowing damn well none of these countries give a SHIT abt us.
In Brazil I learn all abt yall countries histories. Bc this fucking world revolves all around yall and I have to learn abt your history even before even learning my own.
And thats okay! I love history, I love learning, I WANT to always keep learning.
What it is maddening is studying and studying and just more and more realizing none of the countries who DEEPLY affected my country& #39;s history take a FUCKING MINUTE to learn abt us.
So, yeah, I am ANGRY!
I have always been angry at this!!
So, yeah, this kind of "reminder" just became a whole ass vent and I am sorry if this affects me so much!!!
I dont know where this thread is heading to anymore but, again, I dont blame anyone rn for what happenned back then. I blame the ones who are in power and do NOTHING to hold themselves accountable for the explotation they still do from my land.
I blame all yall governments as much as I blame mine too.
And I only wish yall could learn more abt us and join me on wishing, hoping for a better place.

We cant go forward if we dont study what happenned in the past.
We cant learn from past mistakes if we dont aknowledge them.
I guess this whole thread IS a vent but is also just me asking that, please, dont ignore Latin America. Please don& #39;t ignore us.
Read abt our history, read abt YOUR history.

We can start making things right, but we have to do our part.
Study. Research. Be aware.
That& #39;s all I have to say.

Thank you for everyone who took your time to read this thread. It means a lot, it really does.
Also just adding here: this is absolutely NO guilt tripping!!! As I said before, its just me venting and being frustrated!!!! I have no intention of offending anyone!!!!!!
