When did I say it was forbidden? I said it was offensive. Stop making shit up like your godhead Trump

Here's why I don't need a time machine:
I've lived in the white-dominated, bigoted society for 40 years, so take your tiki torch and fuck off, neo-Confederate asshole

The implication is quite clearly that a horror like the systematic oppression of black people ended with slavery, so let's look at what would happen if it didn;t

No, the problem is that the very premise implies that the military defeat of The Confederacy ended the cultural hegemony of The Confederacy in The South. That is patently untrue and offensive to someone who has had family members murdered by Confederate Culture and oppressed by it to this day.

And Ben Carson defends Donald Trump

Go carry a tiki torch and fuck off.

Its existence implies that The Confederacy's military defeat ended its cultural control of The South, which just isn't true. It also minimizes Jim Crow and lynching.

How about they make a show about WEB DuBois or Booker T. Washington?

Nope. It pretends that The Confederacy's loss ended the culture that produced The Confederacy, which is not the case.

Free condoms!

No, it's pretending that The Confederacy's loss somehow ended the oppression and violence against black people and Unionists by Southerners

If there were monuments all over The US to Nazis, you'd be close to right, but sadly you're way the fuck off.

a. So black people cannot work on a bigoted production or for a bigoted boss?
b. The show is offensive by its very existence. The Secessionists never stopped fighting as evidenced by those fucking statues.
c. You're not black are you?

They are saying the criticism is invalid. They are pretending that the horrors of slavery and white domination of black Americans magically ended when slavery ended and thus it'd be a neat thought experiment to pretend slavery never ended and blacks were still treated like subhumans.

No, we should not pretend a war is over and that an alternate history can exist, when that war never ended.

We support everybody’s right to express an opinion but the suggestion of irresponsibility on our part is simply undeserved.

When did I say make him a martyr? I'm not advocating violence any more than he did when he said that exact same thing

Thanks HBO for telling me how to feel about the trivialization of the horrors of slavery and the suffering of black people.

Hopefully rotting in Hell

That man was a true American hero.
