In my time in school, slavery was barely mentioned. And when it was, it was for the purpose of glorifying Lincoln.

Thank you for making my point.

To be more specific, I meant slavery was taught, but the tyranny of it was not emphasized as it should have been. You and your author seem offended when the "tyranny" of slavery and it's aftermath is brought up. So much so that you personally feel victimized for some strange reason. Blacks and other races have owned slaves throughout our history. There is no debate about that. I don't think anybody would construe Mr Downey Jr's article as a history lesson.

Talking to stupid people is not a good use of my time.

To "out of the blue" bring up this inconsequential history tidbit as this time can only suggest this about you: victimhood bigotry insecurity Maybe if you can explain how this just "crossed your mind". It would help.

Quote:To "out of the blue" bring up this inconsequential historyIt was an article published June 21, 2021, I don't consider that out-of-the-blue; neither do I find slavery to be inconsequential history.

The article was not about slavery. It was about CRT phobia, Juneteenth and and his racial insecurity. Your statement was a bald-faced lie. Even you are not that stupid, I hope. |
