How to whitewash History

[westwall]

Even China isn’t this bad

View attachment 1094203
Tiananmen Square features several prominent monuments and buildings, including the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, and the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong.

Here's a more detailed look:

• Monument to the People's Heroes:
  This is a large granite obelisk located in the center of the square, commemorating the martyrs of revolutionary struggle during the 19th and 20th centuries

But not to the thousands of students murdered in the Square.

DURRRRRR

Yup
We tore down monuments honoring Civil War traitors and slave rapers

Trump wants to remove monuments to Civil Rights leaders

Why do you want to whitewash history?

 

[rightwinger]

Why do you want to whitewash history?

History is still there
Monuments to traitors are not

 

[WelfareQueen]

Yea, I read Trumps screed of hate

Yet he didn’t limit his order to what was done under four years of Biden

This will blow up in his face as museum curators follow Trumps decree to the letter.

Well guess what Donnie?
The US wasn’t always the good guys and all Americans need to know it.

But know what else Donnie?
Your executive order will not prevent future generations from learning the damage you have done to this country.
Even if it hurts Conservatives feelings

America is the greatest Nation on Earth. Only Dimtards state otherwise. That doesn't mean we're perfect. Just a fuck of a lot better than everybody else.

 

[marvin martian]

Yes it is
Removing monuments to Confederate “heroes” who took up arms against the United States

AKA whitewashing history.

 

[WelfareQueen]

History is still there

So, you accuse Trump of erasing history and yet you Dims have been erasing History you don't like for years. Ironic no?

Yes I do
Removing a monument erected by the Lost Cause is not the same as removing museum displays to Civil Rights

 

[rightwinger]

It was not a “screed of hate,” first of all, you fraud.

And it is not required to be LIMITED to just Potato’s prior behaviors.

Lease feel free to triple and quadruple down on your pathetic efforts to foist of your own miserable lies as having any relationship to reality.

Mock ya more later, Leftwhiner.

Of course
Trump cant write an Executive Order without bitching about Biden

His order is a disaster and will open him up for ridicule. If you think his order on removing DEI from the military was a mess.
But, but we don’t mean to remove Enola Gay

Wait till he tells museum curator to remove all references to slavery, civil rights, women’s rights, gay rights

Let's ask a prominent Democrat what he thinks:

Is the Smithsonian a government agency?​

No, the Smithsonian is not a federal agency but a “trust instrumentality” of the United States, tasked with carrying out the responsibilities undertaken by Congress when it accepted Smithson’s donation. It’s overseen by the secretary, currently Lonnie G. Bunch III, who is appointed by the Board of Regents — made up of the chief justice, vice president, three members of the Senate, three members of the House and nine citizens.

The Smithsonian describes itself as the “world’s largest museum, education, and research complex” and includes 21 museums — two in development — 14 education and research centers, and the National Zoo. It holds a dizzying array of objects, from fighter jets hanging from the high ceilings of the Udvar-Hazy Center all the way down to the tiny specimens at the National Museum of Natural History.

Over the decades, the Smithsonian has grown to tell a varied, more inclusive story of America. This was encapsulated by the 2016 opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which Trump directly criticized in the executive order.

​

​

Has the government censored content at the Smithsonian previously?​

Exhibitions have been changed in response to political pressure, but it’s uncommon.

In the 1990s, the National Air and Space Museum came under fire for its plans to display the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress used to drop the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Museum leaders saw the script set to go with the exhibit as “a balanced history of the bombings and their consequences,” but others saw “a depiction of vengeful Americans and an attempt to garner sympathy for the Japanese,” the Smithsonian Institution Archives says. The exhibit was ultimately called off, the museum director resigned and the plane was eventually displayed with no interpretation.

In another case in 2010, then Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough forced the removal of a film by David Wojnarowicz from a National Portrait Gallery exhibition focusing on LGBTQ artists. The film, produced in the 1980s during the height of the AIDS epidemic in the United States, briefly featured ants crawling on a crucifix and drew criticism from right-wing lawmakers.

“My observation is that those are pretty rare circumstances,” said Redman, but he’s concerned about the language in Trump’s order, and the idea “that there should be one version of American history.

“I see a version of American history with so, so many different perspectives,” he said, adding it’s a story “that needs to be meditated on and reflected on, not necessarily celebrated in the way that many folks would like us to.”

Yes I do

It is exactly the same as both are history. One is a history you do not like, and the other is one you do like. Utter hypocrisy, but you are too blind to see it.

I heard Trump wants to compensate Jan 6 rioters for the time they spent in jail. Not out of his own pocket of course. He means we pay for it. Sort of reperations.

It won't be long before they are building statues of them.

First one will be

Second one

Trump has ordered that all national museums scrub language that makes America look bad.
So any exhibits that discus slavery, civil rights, Native Americans must be revised


Trump orders feds to scour monuments, memorials for DEI language he says disparages US

President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to review potential 'anti-American'' sentiment being expressed on U.S. monuments and memorials.

You still don't have a fleeting notion of why you lost so badly, so you?

Learn to spell, pousti. I get that you don't speak Greek although claiming to be. The least you could do is learn English, living in America and all.

It was a proclamation, you imbecile.

And he can write it as he sees fit in order to make his purpose clear.

You’re still just a troll. An unreasonable troll at that.

 

[sealybobo]

You still haven't the vaguest notion why you won. Let me ask you a question. Did the stock market go up after Trump won BECAUSE they were happy Trump won? Is that how you remember it?

Just trying to get an understanding of what notions you have.

And why did Trump lose in 2020? Do you still not know?

His purpose is clear. To wipe all the negative things America stood for, from history. To forget slavery, to forget our subjugation of native americans, to forget interning the japanese.

It's where it was in Brandon's last days. before it got boosted by Trump's victory.
