Projection...?So you are a queer.
Liberal, not left, but yes.Nobody is claiming that there was something "good" about slavery! What the two black Phd scholars were underscoring was how resilient blacks were even in a dehumanizing system like slavery. You on the left are SO determined to see "RACISM" in everything you even see it in something that paints blacks in a very positive light!
^ Gets history.You don't even know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a concept that liberals simply cannot wrap their heads around, whether it is street crime or full scale war >>> SELF-DEFENSE, you bozo.
I'm talking about approximately 300,000 southerners who died in the Civil War fighting to defend their home towns from invading Union soldiers. Many of them (especially in southern mountain states where there was no cotton and no slavery) captured by union soldiers, were asked, "Why do you fight ?". 90% of the answers were always the same >> "Because you're here."
If you see hundreds of guys coming your way, shooting at you, blowing up your buildings and bridges, burning down your churches, what do you do ? Say "thank you" ? Offer them lollipops ?
In many of the mountain areas of the South, in the 1860s, people were so poor and uneducated (no TV, no radio, no computers), they didn't even know that black people or slavery even existed. Most had never even seen a black person in their whole lives. A FEW mountain towns might have had a rudimentary newspaper, but most didn't, because few of those folks could read or write.
Most of them fought as civilians, many dead bodies found barefoot holding their rifles. Others who were lucky enough to get uniforms (complete with boots) from the Confederate army, were known to have said >> "This is the best suit of clothes I've ever had."
^ Should be teaching history if they're not doing so already.On a MASSIVE level (maybe 75% of all southern fighters) knew nothing whatsoever of the Confederacy, never head of Jefferson Davis, never laid eyes on a black person, didn't know slavery existed.
You seem to be absorbed with thoughts about slavery and the Confederacy, and that's OK, but most southern fighters knew only that they were under attack from some guys wearing blue suits, and they were going to fight back with everything they had in them.
Slavery and cotton production was not at all embedded into the culture and economy of a huge part of the south. It was generally confined to coastal plain areas, and unknown in mountain areas. Those mountan areas cover major parts of states > Virginia, all of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, N & S Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Arkansas.
Oh you know the answer.Any takers yet?
You'd think it would be an easy layup for them, given how they're just certain of the facts...
Especially as they may be descended from slaves themselves.Don't be stupid, John. I never said that slavery wasn't about racism. What I pointed out was that the lesson plan those two black Phd educators came up with for Florida isn't racist and that Kamala Harris was race baiting when she claimed that it was! I'd love to see her sit down with those two black historians and explain to THEM why she thinks that they're racists! I'm sure they'd get a chuckle out of it.
White supremacists!So I take it the two black historians who created the plans are "racist" also, John?
You’re a terrible troll. You need troll lessons.Projection...?
But my bad - I thought you were organizing a belated Pride orgy, and just wanted to let you down easy.
Thanks - I agree.You’re a terrible troll.
Well, as I said, I'm very flattered, but...You need troll lessons.
Clarification 3: Instruction includes but is not limited to African American pioneers in their field (e.g., President Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Representative Shirley Chisholm, Arthur Ashe, Ronald McNair)
No matter how it works out, "African American"is a FALSE description for black people in America.PLease go to a Black barber shop and start saying Negro. Tell us all how it works out.
Well logically its not. But you be you.No matter how it works out, "African American"is a FALSE description for black people in America.
Logically, and any other way, it is FALSE, and stupid. Me being correct.Well logically its not. But you be you.
African Americans,Logically, and any other way, it is FALSE, and stupid. Me being correct.
Well it definitely offsets being raped, whipped, having your children stolen...amiright?So FACTS are now off limits? If you learned how to farm, raise and handle livestock, do leatherwork, be a blacksmith, sew, cook,...none of that benefited the freed slaves?
You fucking Lefties are unfathomable.
