You’re trying to make a history that makes you feel good, with all the video, photos, testimony. Foolish.
Ruby Bridges is younger than Trump, this shite was not that long ago. This board is insane.

The media controls the narrative. That’s why JFK’s “Camelot“ was so ingrained in all of us and on the covers of Life magazine. Will Charlie get one 100th of the coverage even though he’s lived the life which truly exemplifies what he talked about and isn’t just some fairytale created to make him look good. Much of what we got from the boomer news romanticized the war protest, JFK‘s greatness, civil rights marches, the massive scandal that wasn’t Watergate, and so on.
Looking back, we really were subjected to Soviet style propaganda, which has unfortunately shaped our view of history.

No. The lie we were told is that the reasoning behind the segregation was because of ‘hate’.

It defiantly sucked to be black in America. Don't try to reframe it.

There were racists back then. It was a different time though.
But to be honest, I think a lot of shite taught in schools about this period of history is either overdone or not necessary.
I don’t believe in racial superiority but I do believe some cultures are demonstrably and therefore obviously superior to others.
The world needs what we as white Anglos have to offer but they’re clearly not interested.

I agree that the era and its truths have been embellished to lean a particular way but I'm here to tell you that true vitriolic, though not necessarily criminal, racist behavior and thoughts were truly alive and well in Tensas and Franklin parishes when I was a youngster. And that was the 80s. Im sure it was worse prior to that. Our fathers and grandfathers learned it somewhere and in that era it was almost certainly at home or church.

I hope people have realized this for decades. Something can be bad and still be exaggerated.

Not really.
The President was black. They’re out of excuses.

i'm going to cut you off right there slow, you're what we used to call white trash, or as my grand mother would say no account white trash. the reason you guys were on the lowest rung of the societal ladder was because you had the advantage of being born white and squandered it.

What Americans got wrong during the Civil Rights era wasn’t defining the “problem”. The problem was clear.
It was the solution.

Now, I won't disagree with you. Forty years ago it sucked to be black.

The whole narrative of a bunch of angry white racists filled with hate. That entire era just seems completely fake and contrived to me, and now I find myself even questioning a lot of the slavery narratives and level of brutality surrounding it compared to anywhere else in the world at the time
And question you should.

What? No.
My family (at least for a few hundred years on one side) was not aristocratic or part of the European nobility. If you weren't part of that, you were denied all sorts of basic human rights using the same rhetoric he used ("the plebs don't know any better and wouldn't want the burdens of freedom")
Your comments do not reflect what I said in any way, shape, or form.

If you want to live in a caste-based, you could always do the needful and move.

Hard historical truth:
Blacks in the US owe their freedom, and their economic well-being, to whites.
Whites fought and died for their freedom in the Civil War.
Whites passed the 13, 14 and 15th Amendments.
Whites passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 1964 (as well as the Voting Rights Act).
Whites founded the NAACP.
A white president integrated the Armed Forces.
A white president sent troops to Little Rock and Ole Miss.
A white president nominated Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court.
During segregation, the black family was stable and the black middle class thrived. Based on student performance, black students got good educations in segregated schools and HBCUs.
WEB Dubois was wrong. Blacks alone could not support black economic survival and growth.
Booker T. Washington was right.

The problem with rewriting history like liberals (1619 project) have tried to do is eventually, someone you don’t agree with gets to edit it as well.

In 1950, fewer than 2% of Black Americans in Mississippi were registered to vote…. I’m sure they just didn’t want to or something like that

I went to a Catholic school, they didn't feed us that BS....

My parents lived it. Saw it. Been to James Chaneys gravel. Remember when they finally figured out who killed medger Evers. The man was old and people really felt like it the police should let it go.
