Right you are.
I remember even as a kid gradually noticing the concerted effort to downplay and even calumniate the history of White Civilization, while aggrandizing every non-White culture.
The Aztecs were more advanced than Europeans. Europeans didn't bathe while noble non-Whites did. China was and remains greater than White Civilization. Blacks were kidnapped by Whites from Africa, and were constantly beaten throughout their lives.
In every war, European aggression is emphasized while the reasons precipitating it are left unexplained.
There was a time that I even felt ashamed to be White, due to the education I received. One day I realized that we were being subjected to material designed to elicit an emotional response, and there was only one reason to expose young kids to such material before they can even think critically: conditioning.
