Make America Forgetful Again?

from The Esau McCaulley Podcast

Recently, Donald Trump criticized the Smithsonian for focusing too much on slavery, insisting that America's history should be more "positive" and less "woke." But can we really tell the story of America without telling the story of human bondage? Esau and Justin Giboney dig into the politics of memory, the temptation to idolize America, and why Christians in particular must insist on telling the truth about our history, both the glory and the shame. Plus, the myth of cancel culture from Paula Deen to Colin Kaepernick, Cracker Barrel outrage, and should we all be corny like Russel Wilson?   0:00 - Theme Song   1:33 - Who gets called "Corny?" Why Russell Wilson?   8:05 - Trump on Smithsonian and Slavery   25:40 - They're rich, travel, and love to complain   33:10 - Self-Help Makes You a Jerk?   43:02 - End Credits
