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

[Syriusly]

The democrats...sucked in 1865....and still suck for blacks and other minorities today.............

It's a little worse than "suck". Democrooks are lethal to black people. T

Another bitter old white dude who is telling African Americans that he is smarter than African Americans.

Aren't they the most sensitive snowflakes ever?

Yep- they just want to play the victim card over and over.

 

[Syriusly]

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

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

Because barry goldwater?

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

You really think that that is what is driving block voting by minorities?

No- what is driving voting by everyone is what they perceive to be their best interest.

Minorities clearly identify far more with the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party- and have ever since the GOP nominated for President the influential Senator from Arizona who voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

 

[Syriusly]

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

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

And then you proclaim how blacks are the real racists.

They voted for the actual racist ...
You tell us how that makes any sense...

Because African Americans don't believe your version. Because African Americans are smart enough to make their own decisions and recognize that people like you- within the GOP ranks- considers African Americans to be the "real racists."

LBJ advocated for, pushed through, and signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The GOP nominated for President the man that tried to torpedo the 1964 Civil Rights Act- Barry Goldwater.

Who else opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act?

Ronald Reagan
George Bush

Wow- look- thats three GOP Presidential nominees who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

You keep wanting to tell African Americans that they are all racists- and they are all stupid- because they are Democrats.

You are an example of why minorities treat the GOP like a plague colony.

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.......

LBJ fought for an passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Barry Goldwater fought against the single most important Civil Rights legislation of the era.

And the GOP nominated him for President.

Which is why Martin Luther King Jr. called on African Americans to vote against Barry Goldwater.

But you also consider MLK Jr. to be stupid and ignorant.

Just as you consider African Americans to be the 'real racists'......

It's the crutch that keeps on giving

 

[Moonglow]

So feeling uncomfortable because of a personal feeling is now only a leftist issue, gheesh what an analogy..

That is not what the OP is about, dude.

It is just one more pointless example of the Hate-America-Firsters like you taking a sucker punch at Uncle Sam.

LOL.

To Jim Bowie- hating slavery is hating America.

You're just not hip if you're not into bondage and servitude..

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.

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

The Republicans did a great job in 1865.

Not such a great job from 1965 onwards.

I think both parties serve a purpose. Democrats do a lot for the little guy, but then they need opposition (republicans) to curb their spending sometimes. I'd hate to have either party in total control for any length of time.

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......

The modern Republican party celebrates the Confederacy, wants to get rid of civil rights, celebrates the murders of black children, and is openly and proudly racist. Sorry.

The only people that want to celebrate the Confederacy would be the Klan and southern racists and the Republican party isn't openly and proudly racist. The Democrats were in power in the south during the Confederacy and it took the north and its Republican party to end it.
The "new" Democrats would like nothing better than to have statues of Che Guevera, Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung (all nationalists) erected as a homage to their new Communist/Socialist agenda.

The Democrats have strayed quite a bit from them being the party of the working man any more.

Now they are the party of racial division, Identity Politics, and social marxism.

The north and the republicans didn't need slaves. They just imported poor europeans to compete with the working poor of the north to keep wages down. They didn't have to take care of slaves, who were after all, an investment. If a worker didn't like wages or working conditions, or got sick, he was just kicked out into the street and the industrialists hired another wage slave.

 

[reconmark]

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.
Q&A: Did slaves build the White House?

You must really love being the dumbest kid on the block...

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?

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.

I usually don't take the time to correct people as stupid as you...however, someone not quite as stupid as you may believe you scored some type of point...*****.

The below quote is what I clearly responded to in which the poster referenced the WHITE HOUSE, you stupid *****...

It was likely built by the same kind of Polish and Irish immigrants that built the White House

My response to her made her almost as stupid as I just made your post...

Further, from your own link concerning the the monument...

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.

Excavation and initial construction[edit]
In early 1848, workers started to build the Washington Monument's foundation.[44] According to historian Jesse Holland, it is very likely that African-American slaves were among the construction workers and stonecutters, given that slavery prevailed in Washington and its surrounding states at that time, and slaves were commonly used in public and private constructions. However, unlike with respect to the White House, no documents attesting to the use of slave labor in the Monument's construction have been found.

It must hurt to be as stupid as you...

Well lets look at that. Absolutely the Confederate States was composed essentially of Democrats- so to criticize the Democrats of that era as being racists(which they were) is to also criticize the Confederate States for being racist(which they were).

Who opposes the symbols and legacy of the Confederacy today? The opposition is driven by Democrats, with limited Republican support by more moderate Republicans(Niki Haley who changed her position only after the Charleston church shootings)- almost always bemoaned by the Conservatives here at USMB.

Who supports maintaining the symbols and legacy of the Confederacy today? That would be Republicans.

There is no argument that the Republican Party of 1860 was abolitionist- that was the main reason for the party to exist. And that the Confederacy consisted of Democrats(though there were also pro-Union Democrats in the North).

But neither the Republican Party or the Democratic Party today are the same parties they were in 1860.

the racism is still the heart and soul of the democrat party...you guys want those monuments torn down because they were democrat racists fighting to keep slavery.

Remember you support the Republican Party- and you think that the racists are African Americans and Latinos.

You think Martin Luther King Jr. was an idiot.

And you think minorities are stupid- and you are not.

If this was 1860- you would be wearing grey and proclaiming how African Americans deserve to be slave.

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......

The modern Republican party celebrates the Confederacy, wants to get rid of civil rights, celebrates the murders of black children, and is openly and proudly racist. Sorry.

The "new" Democrats would like nothing better than to have statues of Che Guevera, Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung (all nationalists) erected as a homage to their new Communist/Socialist agenda.

Really? Who are these 'new' Democrats calling for statues of Joseph Stalin?

I mean other than in your head?

You might want to check out the Che Guevera T-shirts worn by protesters.

And again- Who are these 'new' Democrats calling for statues of Joseph Stalin?

I like Barry Goldwater- but the GOP made a choice in 1964- to pick a candidate who voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act or someone who voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The GOP chose against- as Martin Luther King Jr. noted:

“While not himself a racist,” concluded Martin Luther King Jr., “Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racists.” Jackie Robinson, after attending the GOP convention in 1964, helped launch Republicans for Johnson.

And of course that is exactly what 2aguy does- he articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racists.

The only people that want to celebrate the Confederacy would be the Klan and southern racists and the Republican party isn't openly and proudly racist. The Democrats were in power in the south during the Confederacy and it took the north and its Republican party to end it..

Well lets look at that. Absolutely the Confederate States was composed essentially of Democrats- so to criticize the Democrats of that era as being racists(which they were) is to also criticize the Confederate States for being racist(which they were).

Who opposes the symbols and legacy of the Confederacy today? The opposition is driven by Democrats, with limited Republican support by more moderate Republicans(Niki Haley who changed her position only after the Charleston church shootings)- almost always bemoaned by the Conservatives here at USMB.

Who supports maintaining the symbols and legacy of the Confederacy today? That would be Republicans.

There is no argument that the Republican Party of 1860 was abolitionist- that was the main reason for the party to exist. And that the Confederacy consisted of Democrats(though there were also pro-Union Democrats in the North).

But neither the Republican Party or the Democratic Party today are the same parties they were in 1860.

Wrong....they are the exact same parties as they were back then..

No...the racists are the members of the democrat party core groups....and the democrat party leadership....the entire party is racist to it's core....
