You're not wrong, every country has done fucked shit. I think the point of this meme is to bring Americans down to that realisation that applies to their country too, tho.

With an insulting title like this post has, I don't think that's the point at all.

DAE the US in unaware of history!? Because I think I know what 300 million people are!

I was talking about the meme that OP posted, not the title OP gave it. I am assuming OP did not make the meme.

Everybody knows. There's nothing new under the sun

Because Americans don't know? We get taught about this in school. If you want to find a country that buries its atrocities, try Japan

If your republicans get their way, kids won't be taught about it in school in future. :P
