Spiderman, the left can't leave it alone...black actress won't enter National Monument, slavery....

Btw, it's your party that currently celebrates and defends the Democratic party as it existed under slavery
The roots of the Republican Party go back to anti-slavery. It's the reason for their formation. If you're suggesting that the parties switched places and today's Republicans are the former Democrats .

The Confederate flag is not being waved at Democratic rallys. It was being waved at Trump rallys.

The switch started happening in the 1930's- under FDR- as African Americans started to move from Republican to Democrat- but the switch was completed after 1964- when the GOP nominated for President a man who had voted against the Civil Rights Act.


They voted for the biggest racist in the race lyndon johnson who voted against every single Civil Rights act up until he realized that the klan wasn't able to murder enough blacks to keep them from voting.....then, when the toughest civil rights fights were over....he voted for the last of the Civil Rights acts...having also voted Against...yes, against the anti Lynching laws....

Berry Goldwater......was a Civil Rights Hero......

Barry M. Goldwater: The Most Consequential Loser in American Politics



Goldwater treated all people the same. As a private citizen, he flew mercy missions to Navaho reservations, never asking for recognition or accepting payment. He felt that “the red man seemed as much—if not more—a part of Arizona and America as any white or black person.”[20] Moreover, a few weeks after Goldwater was discharged from the Army in November 1945, Democratic Arizona Governor Sidney Preston Osborn asked him to organize the Arizona Air National Guard. One of Goldwater’s first recommendations, soon approved, was to desegregate the unit. Goldwater’s integration of the state’s Air National Guard took place more than two years before President Harry Truman integrated the U.S. armed forces.

Goldwater was an early member of the Arizona chapters of both the NAACP and the National Urban League, even making up the latter’s operating deficit when it was getting started. Later as a Senator, he desegregated the Senate cafeteria in 1953, demanding that his black legislative assistant, Kathrine Maxwell, be served along with every other Senate employee after learning she had been denied service.

In the mid-1970s, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating improper operations of the intelligence community in the United States, proposed that transcripts of the FBI tapes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged indiscretions be published. An outraged Goldwater declared he would not be a party to destroying King’s reputation and strode out of the committee room. A fellow Senator recalled that Goldwater’s protest “injected some common sense into the proceedings,” and the electronic surveillance transcripts were not released.[21]

That his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was based on constitutional grounds and not political considerations was underscored in the final week of the fall campaign. Speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, Goldwater condemned segregation and declared that government must treat “all men as equal in the arena of law and civil order.”[22] He pledged if elected President to implement all provisions of the act. His forthright pro-civil rights speech was televised on 87 stations throughout the South.

Why did he vote against the 1964 Civil Rights act...after voting for the other Civil Rights acts to that point...?

NPR Wrong on Goldwater '64, Civil Rights, Say 4 Who Were There

As for the Republican nominee's position on the Civil Rights Act, Goldwater had said he would vote for passage if Section II on public accommodations and Section VII on equal employment opportunity were removed. With his view reinforced by a detailed memorandum from Phoenix lawyer and future Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Goldwater felt these sections were unconstitutional, were unenforceable without a federal police force, and would lead to the creation of racial quotas and affirmative action.

Blacks voted for an actual racist....lyndon johnson, and failed to support an actual Civil Rights hero....genius...


 
Andrew Klavan explains why this crap actually matters.......news is here for a day, movies and art last forever...the left knows this...and they use it...just like this scene from Spiderman...

He talks about how they change history, how they demonize their enemies, and he brings up his actual experiences in Hollywood.

They voted for the biggest racist


Lyndon Johnson- pushed through the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Barry Goldwater- voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

And from 1964 onward, African Americans voted Democratic.

You think that minorities are racists- everyone to you is a racist except of course the bitter old white dudes in the Republican Party.

And that explains why minorities think of the Republican Party as the party that welcomes racists

So again- you just think blacks are stupider than you are.

And then you proclaim how blacks are the real racists.
 
And this....

Why did the screenwriters feel compelled to have a young biracial woman say to her white debate coach that she won't go into buildings built by slaves? How did that add to the movie's narrative, help to move the story along?

The answer is, it didn't.

It's in there just to be divisive. It serves no purpose whatsoever except to denigrate one of the world's great engineering feats (especially in the mid 1800s) and disrespect America's first president.

Yep.

Pure political anti-American propaganda.


Hollywood needs a good purging.

Because barry goldwater?

That was sixty ******* years ago?

You really think that that is what is driving block voting by minorities?
 
Apparently, you can't just go see a spiderman movie without the left wing pushing it's crap all over the experience......there you are, watching a film...and then you get to hear about slavery and the nations capital.......from an actress who likely votes for the political party that owned slaves and actually started a war to keep blacks as slaves......

What's With The Really Weird Racial Thing In 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'?

But one member refuses to go into the obelisk. Zendaya's character, Michelle, says she won’t go into a building built by slaves. The team's coach, who is white, says he’s pretty sure slaves didn't build the monument, but then the camera pans over to a nearby security guard, who looks at the coach and wiggles one hand in a so-so gesture than means, "Uh, maybe so, maybe not."

First, the facts: No one really knows if slaves were used to build the monument to America's first president.

---


In the movie, Zendaya's Michelle never revisits the issue, never, say, Googles the claim and says, "Huh, turns out no one really knows for sure." The claim just hangs there like a dark cloud over an otherwise jaunty fun movie.

But it does fit right in with Hollywood's desire to take American down a peg. And now, a whole new generation — who also likely won't bother to check the facts — will blurt out the claim at will.

She won't enter a building that might have been built by slaves in a time of slavery....but will likely vote for the political party that was built on slavery.....

Is that Irony?
It likely was built, in part, by slaves.

That aside, this is a movie about a teenager with spider powers. You're a grown ass man. Get over it.

Btw, it's your party that currently celebrates and defends the Democratic party as it existed under slavery.


Sorry....the racist party in this country is still the democrat party...every core group in the party and every leader in the party is a racist.....openly and proudly racist.....

The Republican party freed the slaves and fought to give them equal treatment under the Constitution......

Exactly, no one is more racist than the Democrat Party, no one.

They voted for the actual racist and for the political party, at the time of that election, that was mirdering blacks and republicans to keep them from voting........and they voted against Barry Goldwater...a Civil Rights hero.......and they voted for Lyndon Johnson...a guy who voted against all the civil rights acts up till the last ones...and voted against the anti lynching law...

You tell us how that makes any sense...

I posted the links...obj voted against all the civil rights acts until it was obvious that blacks were going to be able to vote...he voted against the law that would fight the hanging of black men.......Barry Goldwater was a Civil Rights hero........an actual fighter for Civil Rights...and as my link showed, he voted against giving government more power to attack citizens in this country.....


La Raza is racist.

BLack lives matter is racist.

The New Black Panthers are racist.

THe Southern Poverty Law Center is racist.....

They all support the democrat party.......
 
It was likely built by the same kind of Polish and Irish immigrants that built the White House.
The D.C. commissioners, charged by Congress with building the new city under the direction of the president, initially planned to import workers from Europe to meet their labor needs. However, response to recruitment was dismal and soon they turned to African Americans—both enslaved and free—to provide the bulk of labor that built the White House, the United States Capitol, and other early government buildings.

Dumb shit...the building in Question is the Washington Monument...and even Slate Magazine says they don't know.....since it was built in 1848.....

Spider-Man: Homecoming Says the Washington Monument Was Built by Slaves. Was It?

mv5bmty4mdk4njy1nv5bml5banbnxkftztgwodyymzm4mji._v1_sx1777_cr001777738_al_.jpg.CROP.promo-xlarge2._v1_sx1777_cr001777738_al_.jpg

This part of the monument that Spidey is holding on to was not built by slaves.
CMTG, Inc.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is very good, but it’s important to discuss the film’s glaring flaw. Sure, it gave us the opportunity to finally see a true teenage Peter Parker. Sure, we finally got to see Donald Glover in a Spider-Man movie. Sure, the movie uses Michael Keaton perfectly as a villain. Sure, seeing Spidey running through a golf course at night while being sprayed by sprinklers was one of the more fun Marvel moments in recent memory. But none of this can compensate for the scene where Zendaya’s character, Michelle, refuses to join her high-school peers inside of the Washington Monument because, she says, it was “built by slaves.” Her teacher, played by Martin Starr, assures her it’s not so and turns to a nearby guard for support, only for the guard to shrug and give him an expression that says, well, kinda.

Sorry, Michelle, but we don’t actually know that the Washington Monument was built by slaves. We only know that there’s a very good chance it was. It’s kind of like how we’re not definitely sure Chicken McNuggets are made of undesirable chicken parts, we’re only pretty sure, so we just go ahead and eat them because they’re delicious, you can get 10 pieces for a very good price, and this is America, dammit.

You see, Michelle, it’s very simple. Around 1832, the Washington National Monument Society—whose members included John Marshall and James Madison—became responsible for raising money to create a monument to honor of our nation’s first president, who never did anything that could be considered morally repugnant and was a terrific man by all accounts. After a couple of years raising money in one-dollar increments—just like the Bernie Sanders campaign—the society held a contest for the monument’s design.

ADVERTISING
The winner of that contest was Robert Mills, a famous architect and Freemason who is also responsible for the design of other beautiful American structures like the Treasury Building and the General Post Office, which every D.C. resident now knows as that weird hotel across the street from the Spy Museum and that Shake Shack that never has any seats open. Are you following me, Michelle?

Because of funding problems that had hindered the project from the beginning, only the obelisk part of Mills’ design was constructed. What we now call the “first phase” of the monument’s construction began in 1848, prior to abolition. This first phase saw the construction of the first 150 feet or so of the monument and ended in 1854 when the Washington National Monument Society’s funding ran out. If—if—slave labor was used during the monument’s construction it would have been during this phase. To spell it out for you, Michelle, let’s turn to Jesse Holland, a respected historian, journalist, and author of the book Black Men Built the Capitol, who wrote in an email:

There has not been any clear evidence found to prove that slaves were used in the construction of the Washington Monument: no receipts, no log entries, no newspaper stories. We have all of those proving the use of slave construction on the U.S. Capitol and the White House. But we have yet to discover irrefutable evidence that slaves were used in the construction of the Washington Monument.

 
MJ really has no purpose for being in this version of Spider man at all...other than to just be a sarcastic ****...n.o.n.e.

10 pages of conservative butthurt over 10 - 15 seconds of a kids movie. Hilarious
 
15th post
You conservatives don't think biracial people should speak on issues black issues because they're not fully black , but will call a biracial person a ****** or monkey in a heartbeat.
It has been decades since I was in the presence of a white person that called another person a ******.

There are only three kinds of people who still drop the N-bomb all over the place; blacks who think it is cool to have a word that they can use and no one else, other minorities when talking about blacks in private, and white liberals trying to mimic what they think white conservatives sound like.

It's an established fact that then legal slaves did much of the construction of the White House and other capitol monuments. I don't think we should deny it or bemoan it ... note that the moment in the film was handled with comedy, not priggish pedagogue.
actually, no, it apparently isn't established fact....
While it is not an established fact that some slaves were used as labor at times in everything built in slave state Maryland, DC, and Virginia prior to the Civil War, it is the odds on favorite that it was.

But so what?

Do people say that they wont enter the Colosseum in Rome or the Acropolis in Athens because some slave labor was used in some of its construction in all likelihood?

No, of course not, because white people are not trying to milk guilt from centuries ago like some are today.
