Is it wrong? I don't think so. Larry David seems to agree with me over Bill Maher. However, Michael Smerconish agrees with Bill Maher. I admit, my stance is powerful and binary. Here is supporting evidence for my position:

In America, there were lynchings and the cruelty of official segregation, which followed the end of slavery, and the massacre of so many Native Americans." (link)
