As flagged by Judd Legum on Twitter, Moms for Liberty filed a complaint with the Tennessee Department of Education asking it to remove several books from the elementary school curriculum, including Frances Ruffin’s book “Martin Luther King Jr. and the March on Washington” and “Ruby Bridges Goes to School: My True Story” by Ruby Bridges.
In the filing, the group objected to the Ruffin book for showing “photographs of white firemen blasting Black children to the point of ‘bruising their bodies and ripping off their clothes’” and of showing segregated drinking fountains.
These photographs, according to Moms for Liberty, imposed extreme emotional hardships on students despite being historically accurate.
Quite a bit different. Black activists don’t say they don’t want to learn “white history.” They’re pissed that we whitewash and erase THEIR history. I know that’s a difficult concept for a person like you to understand, with your proclivity for white supremacy, but yet, it is. See, they don’t say white history is traumatic. They say not learning THEIR history is traumatic, or reading things like slaves were immigrants, and the like.
The fact that you’re asking this reveals SO MUCH about you as a person. The fight against CRT is simply trying to prevent history books from recording terrible acts by white people upon black people throughout our country’s history.
This is your logic
White people did horrible shit to black people. We not talk about it bc it might traumatize white kids.
White people did horrible shit to Native Americans, even called them Indians for generations bc Columbus couldn’t read a compass and thought he landed in India. We knew they weren’t Indians but still called them that, even to this day in your own comment. To this day, we have cultural symbols and sports symbols they feel to be ridiculing.
What you are saying is Native Americans complaining about being made fun of by white people after hundreds of years of being almost wiped out by white people is the same as those white people hiding the history of wiping out said Native Americans.
You literally make no sense. But, what you DO reveal is how you’re little more than a racist at your core, a shitbag, a piece of trash, a Jersey douche
This fucking idiot will have no answer for that GSC…They love to put people in a box. So pathetic.
Do you know how many black people I know that would laugh in the face of people like warden and djrion? And I’m just talking guys I know personally…Let alone the twitter quotes from black conservatives or even non-political blacks that think these people are disgusting.
Case in point is how every few years someone would publish results asking Native Americans how much they were offended by team mascot names…The results were always the same. Somewhere around 85-90% either weren’t offended or were neutral…Don’t tell that to angry, world-saving warden types though.
Progressive liberals are really flawed, pathetic people…Create the problem and then tell the rest of us all how we have to change to fix their contrived problem. Fuck all these bleeding heart, temper tantrum, meltdown-prone, world-saving types.
Black activists don’t say they don’t want to learn “white history.”
Now he speaks for every black (And meltdown, liberal maniac white) activist…And he’s incorrect. I have flat out read statements suggesting just that.
I’ve said this before but maybe it’s worth repeating.
My maternal grandfather is Taino. Literally an indigenous tribe of the Caribbean.
My maternal great grandmother is a Spaniard.
My paternal grandparents are peasant Sicilians- darker than Arabs.
I might be considered “white” by the government but I grew up in a household where we spoke Sicilian and Spanish and made fun of cookie cutter white people (yes, sometimes they’re funny).
This white supremacist stuff is the goofiest shit ever. I bet this warden dickhead is whiter than all of us. This is all of his guilt for the privilege HE has.
The man is in here bragging about a $20 million company he operates (first it was shit now it’s amazing) with the richest investors in Texas…. So rich me and you skeeter couldn’t get access to the club.
He takes private jiu jitzu classes (dork) and most likely lives in a ritzy white neighborhood.
But he’s woke bro. Because he expresses his guilt.
Fuck out of here asshole. Bring your guilt elsewhere. I’m not trying to hear that shit.
I grew up around black people. A quarter of my town is black. 3 surrounding towns are black. I played football and basketball with these guys. Had them over for dinner. Went to their parties and cookouts.
I literally am the antithesis of a white supremacist. Fucking jerkoff.
Hey, at least you admitted the Civil War was about slavery!
But seriously, there are good points in there. I think there’s a single known instance of attempting a smallpox transfer with a blanket, which may not have even been successful. Modern social justice dictates that you just take stuff like this as fact. If you question it you are a racist. I have long agreed with this problem.
I never knew this and the subject really interests me. Puerto Rican, I’m guessing? Or maybe that’s just the more modern movement.
The popular conception is that the Taino as a people are extinct. There’s a resurgent movement now, but I believe the most full-blooded Taino today are no more than 5 or 6 % at most. not to mention the current language is just made up. i wonder if my understanding jives with your view on the subject?
I never said the above but it’s irrelevant to the discussion anyway.
Saying white abolitionists died for their cause ain’t saying that this was the reason for the Civil War.
Cuban. My mothers family is from Santiago De Cuba which is an eastern province of Cuba. A town called La Maya.
Yea- and I’m not claiming my grandfather was 100% pure Taino but some percentage. Whether they are extinct or not is beyond my knowledge. But my grandfather’s nickname was “Prieto” so that kind of tells the story for itself.
Did you or did you not say millions of white American Christians paid with their lives to abolish slavery? What else could you be referring to?
Yes it is. If you say the Civil War was about states rights, for example, then millions of white American Christians died for states rights, not for the abolition of slavery. But you specifically applauded them for dying for the abolition of slavery.
Makes sense since the Taino lived there and throughout the coasts and islands. After I wrote it I should have changed my guess, this being a Miami board and all. I just know that the modern Taino movement is strong in Puerto Rico, but maybe we just hear about it more because it’s the US.
It’s fascinating stuff. I’m amazed there aren’t more movies of that discovery time period that feature the natives.
In the 2012 Census of Cuba, 64.1% of the inhabitants self-identified as white. Based on genetic testing (2014) in Cuba, the average European, African and Native American ancestry in those auto-reporting to be white were 86%, 6.7%, and 7.8%. The majority of the European ancestry comes from Spain
Since you’re in a betting mood, take a picture of your skin. I’ll bet my last dollar you’re white as fuck.
