When whites invest into a black community they call it gentrification and want to destroy it.

You probably think if I own an apartment building people have a "fundamental rights" regarding my property. "Broadly" doesn't mean anything when it comes to policy.

Well, I agree that diversity is not our strength.

I know that was a lie.

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.
Tell me chubbie.... what was different here than anywhere else in the world at that time. Because i know the US and the white man was one of the first groups to abolish slavery.

Without you getting into specifics, it’s likely that even how you formulate the notion of rights is derived from Enlightenment era thinkers.

First off, I have no idea what this means. Secondly, rights are the big ideas that shape the policy. There are plenty of examples where people feel policies have violated their rights. Using policy and rights in the same sense feels spurious.

Everyone should question it. It is propaganda.

You have been taught lies regarding the War Between the States, Lincoln etc. also.

You have been taught one side of history.

The truth you probably won’t hear, is many black people actually liked segregation. Then when everything was de-segregated they couldn’t compete, their businesses went under. It was pushed by outside groups, the biggest lie is that is was some grassroots movement. It was organized and pushed by “others” not even from that region. Same with the 19th amendment. Most women at the time did not support it. It was a fringe thing pushed by outside groups.


Exactly. For the down voters Malcom Glidewell had a book, I can’t remember which one, that highlighted this point. And I believe he leans liberal. His point was around Brown vs Board of Education. No one in Topeka was pushing for desegregation in the school. Liberals from outside came in pushing this narrative. The end result is schools were consolidated, many black teachers lost their jobs, black students felt out of place, and his belief is it’s impacted down stream generations. A lot of educators grew up with parents that were teachers. That skipped a whole generation and as a result it led to having fewer black teachers.

I don’t believe in segregation or racism; but as is often the case many of these changes didn’t happen organically or with pure intent. They were pushed by outsiders who think they know better. We still see this today across the country.

I understand we have a slew of pictures and video of those times, and of southern leaders like George Wallace speaking.

But the point to me from OP, is that current propaganda from the MSM doesn’t only create doubt on the past 10 or 15 years of their “work”.

Where’s the line, where the work turned from credible to not? 1992? 2008? Cronkite leaned left a very long time ago. Dan Rather was removed because of his bias.

A helluva lot earlier than that, albeit on a gradient and it's gotten much worse with time. Without the contrast of opposing opinions it didn't become as obvious until the early 90s, but it was always there.

Thomas Sowell really opened my eyes about the harms that the civil rights movement did to black families. Most of the BS started with Lyndon Johnson.

Well, you said ‘ You probably think if I own an apartment building people have a "fundamental rights" regarding my property’ which is a weird thing to say given that you don’t know my views on property. Hence why I didn’t know what that meant because it seemed like you were assuming my position.

Are there any visible examples of policies that violate human rights in the history of the US? I can think of a few examples that the Founders themselves acknowledged. A right isn’t some actionable application, it is the idea itself.

Ruby Bridges is younger than Trump, this shite was not that long ago. This board is insane.



Oregon Trail gen here born & raised in NO... sure seems like hardly anyone knew the name Ruby Bridges until around the teens. No one I know ever discussed her by name, in school or socially, I learned it in media/internet. A friend (also a native) told me in 2016/2017 that he met Ruby and had no idea who she was.

Not a personal knock against her, but it supports at least the OP's claim that the media manipulates history.

As to slavery... why is it always blamed on honkies??? Africans sold Africans. And it wasn't just white slave owners.
quote:

Louisiana, as we have seen, was its own bizarre world of color, class, caste and slavery. By 1830, in Louisiana, several black people there owned a large number of slaves, including the following: In Pointe Coupee Parish alone, Sophie Delhonde owned 38 slaves; Lefroix Decuire owned 59 slaves; Antoine Decuire owned 70 slaves; Leandre Severin owned 60 slaves; and Victor Duperon owned 10. In St. John the Baptist Parish, Victoire Deslondes owned 52 slaves; in Plaquemine Brule, Martin Donatto owned 75 slaves; in Bayou Teche, Jean B. Muillion owned 52 slaves; Martin Lenormand in St. Martin Parish owned 44 slaves; Verret Polen in West Baton Rouge Parish owned 69 slaves; Francis Jerod in Washita Parish owned 33 slaves; and Cecee McCarty in the Upper Suburbs of New Orleans owned 32 slaves. Incredibly, the 13 members of the Metoyer family in Natchitoches Parish — including Nicolas Augustin Metoyer, pictured — collectively owned 215 slaves.

Did Black People Own Slaves?

I question most things most of the time.

It's called "critical thinking."
