I am very familiar with Wood and McPherson, and very familiar with historians. First, historians pick at each others’ work - it is what they do. It is also a mark of how seriously they regarded Hannah-Jones’s work. Well-known historians do not waste their time offering small critiques at work that is not worthy of…

Yes, and I would say that any attempt to tell the whole story of the US is going to be flawed; if people were denied tenure every time their research was imperfect, or open to valid complaints, we wouldn’t have a faculty.

Wow what a surprise that a racist Southern white man used money to try and silence someone who says things he doesn’t want to hear.

I would not at all disregard this as a possibility. I don’t think whatever they intend to do in August has any legs, but my big concern is January, 2025, the next time Congress has to certify the electoral college votes. People talk about Trump running in 2024, but if the GOP controls the House & Senate, he won’t need…

It has no basis under the Constitution or any legitimate legal framework.”

It’s not the message, it’s the messenger. Vice President Harris could read Donald Trump’s “Art of the Deal” in a compulsory broadcast only requiring every registered Democrat to watch it and they’d still throw a hissy.

MH: “I need something totally unhinged”

She’s stupid and likely has family or friends with money to fund this shit. While also completely not understanding that not only is her name now back in national news but HR depts are getting a refresher on how this woman should never, ever get a job anywhere, unless the Blaze or Bretbart feel like throwing some…

Spent a few months in Meridian, MS when I was in Navy ‘A’ school back in 97'.... That was one of the most racist, bible thumping, back woods hillbilly cousin fucking country I have ever been to.... That place needed to be burned to the ground.

Seeing the giant blasted in faces of old white men on sacred Native American land is probably a more accurate history lesson than some schools in Texas, even if the viewer doesn’t understand the metaphor.

She’s totally right. It’s the same reason why, whenever I want to learn about Andre the Giant, I just fly to Stamford, CT and go look at his statue at Titan Towers rather than sit on my couch and watch his matches.

If the truth makes people angry... GOOD.

Fox and the Republican messaging on BLM has been quite effective on conservative whites I know. The constant drumbeat of using BLM protests as equivalent to Jan 6th and the rhetoric of “BLM is burning cities down” and “BLM is a marxist organization” has shifted the opinions of a number I associate with through work…

This is why, whenever I hear about a black person ‘fleeing’ the cops, my first response is “How is that *NOT* a perfectly reasonable and justifiable response for any person of color in *THIS* country??”

I used to do taxes for a large tax prep company. I didn’t get to choose my clients... if I did, I’d have shunted these particular people over to someone else, but they apparently liked me and kept asking for me. The year after Obama introduced his stimulus package (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009)…

If a white child (teen, adult or geriatric) learning about American history doesn’t feel uncomfortable through rather large sections...then you are teaching US History wrong.

A bunch of old white conservative men sittng around and deciding what “traditonal history” means is why we need CRT in the first place. Intellectually-bankrupt snowflakes. If history doesn’t make you uncomfortable at some point, you haven’t learned anything of substance.

Roadside rapid tests should be banned. The tests are, no doubt, going to test positive for whatever they are intended to detect - there is great doubt that they will test negative for everything else in the universe, which means plenty of false positives which means plenty of wrongful arrests, seizures, stays in jail…

It’s hard to believe they keep finding new lows but you’d swear these MFs were most talented oil drillers in history, I mean they could plunge through the depths of hell with their bare hands at the speed of white, I mean light, just defying the rules and shocking us with new levels of depravity each and every damned…

I imagine this bullshit “compromise” won’t be nearly enough for the people who demand everything and then get shitty with you for taking your time delivering.
