I lost my identity through the politics of fear and racism that was abundant in the 1940's and 50's.  This isn't a left or right issue.  It is a human rights and Indigenous rights issue.

What you fail to mention in your comment and should have for it to have any validity, is the reason behind the " dysfunctional households where alcoholism was running ramped and the children appeared neglected."  White supremacy and colonialism.

It is all well documented so denial is not appropriate.
