The Great Cover up: What white America has already forgotten after Trump's Victory
quote:
Trump's victory may mark the resurgence of the Old South in another more sinister way: The return of "racial amnesia."
That's what some historians are saying as they watch a familiar storyline emerge. Trump's triumph is now being roundly described as a revolt by white working-class voters; racism, sexism and religious bigotry had little, if anything, to do with it
People making this argument are following a script first honed by another group of Americans who made history disappear. After the Civil War, "Lost Cause" propagandists from the Confederacy argued the war wasn't fought over slavery -- it was a constitutional clash over state's rights, they said; hatred toward blacks had nothing to do with it.
It's already happening again," says Brooks D. Simpson, a leading Civil War historian who teaches at Arizona State University. "
At first glance, comparing some Trump supporters to ex-Confederates may seem absurd, even insulting. But historians say both groups developed an uncanny ability to obscure the role race played in transformative events and to persuade millions of Americans to go along with the charade.

When are the lynchings supposed to start. That's why I jumped on the train so early, to get a front row seat and all.
BTW, don't worry BHP and Tbird. I got y'all's back.

They're playing to their base. Nobody else is listening. It's a bubble inside an echo chamber.

They're all about the ratings, just like Fox News and MSNBC.
It's tragic really.

At least they're not a corrupt organization which spreads lies and fake news; propaganda and slanted opinions, yes, but not false or manipulated information.

Much of the ignorance is people on both sides not understanding much of this stuff is staged to create the reactions it gets.
