Just why the fuck did you need to start bringing partisanship into the discussion? You realize that the Republican party at the time of Lincoln bore much more resemblance to the Democrats modern platform than modern Republicans? Also, fuck you, we love this country and don’t want to see it turn into a white…
The whole screed is just bizarre, how the hell is that the response from a professional teacher to the parent of one of their students?
The idea that important black figures aren’t taught throughout the rest of the year is absolutely absurd.
“The biggest difference” isn’t what is taught in schools. That’s the rub. That’s the important detail. Intent matters.
Important? Unquestionably. But he wasn’t the black savior he’s often made out to be. The Emancipation Proclamation was a tactical decision to provide the North with a built in resistance movement behind enemy lines. The Emancipation didn’t even apply to all Northern states.
I think the issue lies on whether he cared about freeing slaves because he felt for them or not. I read somewhere (lost the source, sorry) that he did it to send them back home and not because he cared.

Making a lot of assumptions there. Also, this is what’s wrong with this debate: You can’t take a simple gesture of kindness at face value...there’s always an agenda.
Never said or implied that, and will not cop to having done so.
At first I was going to remark that her assumption was wrong but in order to not make an “alternative fact” I read the WaPo article. They were clearly trump voters which was not clearly stated in the above article. Therefore your statement has merit although I didn’t think the tipper’s intent was one of off-putting,…
Yep. Any positive interaction between people who “might be” or “should be” on opposite sides is a good thing. The ultimate goal isn’t to have our side win against their side, or even to bring the two sides to even standing. The goal is to get rid of sides altogether.
jfc... it was a nice gesture. Leave it at that. Some of y’all would complain that the sun’s too bright, your beer is too cold and your wallet’s too full.
Your bigotry is assigning that intent to them. As she said, there was authenticity in their exchange.
