At the Jan. 6 hearings, race isn't discussed much. Still, it's a central issue

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“The Lost Cause is the racist myth that justifies chattel slavery. It tells a false story of generous slave owners and happy slaves, as well as lies that the Civil War wasn't really fought over slavery — it was about states' rights. Everything that follows, the nadir of American race relations, the violent dismantling of Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, the erections of Confederate monuments and the conflation of a treasonous Confederate flag with patriotism, are all in the name of this Lost Cause.

The Big Lie has come to mean the lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election but that it was stolen from him. It was a lie so large that it drove the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, and extended out to include another lie, one that painted the violent attempt to overturn the election as a peaceful protest.

Just as the Lost Cause denied the brutal racism of slavery in order to perpetuate violent inequity through other means, at the heart of the Big Lie is also a drive to protect a racist order, according to Stanford University political scientist Hakeem Jefferson.”

That's a nice load of horse shit.

It was a lie so large that it drove the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021,

The only connection between those two events is that they were BOTH perpetrated by the Democrat party, TMK, Kunta, the Rs were the party that freed the slaves.

You've posted some really dumb shit before, but this one takes the fucking cake, buddy. This is probably the stupidest thing I've ever fucking seen.

Who protested when statues of Nathan Bedford Forrest were taken down?

It was a riot that lasted 4 hours. Stop hyperventalating.

And RACE had nothing to do with it.

That doesn't sound like an alcohol buzz to me, more like the ramblings of an all night crack binge.

Maybe he's been hanging with Hunter.

There shouldn't even be a January 6th committee unless you need to jail a committee
