Critics see Trump attacks on the 'Black Smithsonian' as an effort to sanitize racism in US history

[SassyIrishLass]

Racism is just a wedge the left promotes to further the divide

 

[rightwinger]

Is slavery allowed in the US? In Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, slavery is permitted.

Call US when Trump brings back Jim Crow laws and try not to conflate eliminating 60 Years of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse with Crow laws.

Trump is eradicating the practice of honoring the achievements of women, minorities and gays
He is also prohibiting teaching about past history that is embarassing to the US

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Let's start with the black folks who are still living from Jim Crow.

.



Like Jussie Smollett and Jasmine Crockett?

Yes the southern Democrats of yore were the ones that treated slaves, then black freeman badly.
Politics didn't have anything to do with it. It was all color racism.

 

[d0gbreath]

Dividing America is their tactic. Their goal is its destruction as it is and turning it into a 3rd-world country with uneducated, government-dependent serfs.

That's why we're getting rid of the DOE. Fooling the GOP into doing it for us. Crafty.

 

[Correll]

That is for fools, it is actually MAWA and that doesn't include black.

Your shit talk is dismissed.


Been hearing some good news about Gen Z. The trump years is going to be what they consider NORMAL.

They are going to be setting the tone of this country long after you are dead of old age.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Getting rid of the DoE and returning it to the states will help remove the wokeness. Have you seen what’s happened to education since the Dems tried to centralize it?

 

[Correll]

No, it was a surrender to the slave states that gave them more political power than was warranted.

Why did Slaves count as 3/5 while the Indian Population did not count at all?
Neither was considered human

True history would discuss both sides of the issue. I've done that.

YOU'VE talked nonsense, trying to spin both sides as both pro-slavery.

Your anti-Americanism, is what is driving your talking points, at the expense of truth or history.

That is the point. People like you, turn history into BASH AMERICA AND WHITE PEOPLE.

So, yeah, time to end that. Better to shut it all down, rather than let people like you spread lies.

What would "removing the wokeness" actually be?

I've not kept an eye on education, so I can't comment on what's been happening.

If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

Are you kidding? They’re spending an inordinate time on “social justice” and teaching how blacks are oppressed victims when they have entire school districts where not a single kid can score a proficient in math or English.

We need to get back to educating kids…..not indoctrinating them.

‘Trump’s order accusing the Smithsonian Institution of not reflecting American history notes correctly that the country’s Founding Fathers declared that “all men are created equal.”

But it doesn’t mention that the founders enshrined slavery into the U.S. Constitution and declared enslaved persons as three-fifths of a person for the purpose of the Census.

Civil rights advocates, historians and Black political leaders sharply rebuked Trump on Friday for his order, entitled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” They argued that his executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution is his administration’s latest move to downplay how race, racism and Black Americans themselves have shaped the nation’s story.

“It seems like we’re headed in the direction where there’s even an attempt to deny that the institution of slavery even existed, or that Jim Crow laws and segregation and racial violence against Black communities, Black families, Black individuals even occurred,” said historian Clarissa Myrick-Harris, a professor at Morehouse College, the historically Black campus in Atlanta.’

It doesn’t seem that way – that’s exactly what Trump is doing: to normalize and sanitize racism in American history, making racism acceptable today.

Which it is.

White christian fascism.

You forgot “Grooming”

 

[Correll]

Actually, it he little to do with slavery itself. It was for how the populations were counted. Which drove the number of seats allocated to each state in the House; and thus their power to influence the Federal government.

And here we see the lefty playing dumb to avoid admitting the truth of history.

You just gave ANOTHER example of how the left CAN'T do history, becuase you CAN'T bring yourself to discuss both sides of any issues.

You can only discuss the side that advances the LEFTARD AGENDA.

it is true that Trumpism arose from white resentment at the fact that a black man sat in the White House. Much less the fact that he was popular and successful.

So Trump anointed himself king of the birthers.

The astroturf Tea Party movement was always about white resentment. Its followers were 95% white and Republican. They mirrored the Limbaugh and Fox audiences.

Trump launched his 2016 campaign with a racist attack. He’s still doing it.

This country has had a bi-partisan consensus on equality for blacks since the mid 60s.

Anyone that talks shit to claim otherwise, is either lying or acting dumb.

If you're right, that seems wrong. I can't personally imagine an algebra teacher spending any time at all on social justice. Science, naw. English maybe. History for sure.

MAGA needs to wipe all history instruction in schools that doesn't make amerika great again IMHO.

I hear that Black Lives Matter

YOur refusal to engage, is normal for lefties.

And thus you will continue to lose all debates.

BLM is a marxist organization, with a marxist and anti-American and racist message.

Which is why you love them.

BLM is a grassroots movement necessitated by continued police abuse of restrained black suspects with little repercussions

They show that Conservative claims that blacks are now treated equally are a farce
