There are no truth-telling ladies on this list

Most of these heroes don’t appear on no stamps…

WHAT ABOUT CLINTON!

I remember seeing something on last week tonight about a hitler cafe in southeast asia?

I’ll second that & add Run DMC, A Tribe Called Quest & N.W.A.

TL;DR version

You conventiently left off Lincoln’s closing line in that letter:
“I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.”

James Baldwin.

I actually read about this today on redstate.com but not the full article. Will certainly check it out when I dont have to pretend to work.

Challenging deeply held notions about our heroes is rarely going to be a popular exercise. Try talking to a church group about some of the horrific shit in the Bible. Fun times!

“White Allies” amirite?

The idea that Lincoln was profoundly concerned about the plight of slavery is one of the larger exaggerations in American history. But I suppose this is what happens when we learn things in 4th grade and never revisit them with a critical, adult eye. Thanks for including the link to the source, btw.

Sorry Sobchak, they took those chachkies away already.

Does anyone have the fill list of states that decided to join the confederacy and their quotes about slavery? Hoping to save it as a sticky on my phone for the next time some dipshit brings up state’s rights.

Cousin-fuckers eat free!

I know your kidding, but call it Stars n’ Bars” or some mess like that and exclusively serve food that’s been deep fried and you’ve got yourself a successful rural southeastern chain business!

I’m glad he’s talking, although he shouldn’t be too quick to pat himself on the back. How many people remember James McCord these days? We’re in another news spiral like in 1973, where tomorrow’s revelations drown out whatever we learn today.

I for one don’t think it would have been that much different. Would have been slightly better but Lincoln was magnanimous by nature. And magnanimity never works with the hardcore racists.
