   It was a shock to me also that Jiggy is not knowledgeable of   
   one of the darker passages in US history.   
      
   Each nation has them.  I can under stand people "forgetting" about   
   them as one does personally in one own`s life, we all carry some moments   
   we remember with shame.  We don`t want to remember but do at times, they   
   are never forgotten.   
      
   But to "not know" really is discouraging.  This is a sort of cultural   
   conspiracy to avoid the truth.  To deny the truth.   
      
   This is what is apparently going now on now.
