Wait -- you just posted that you were attacked "for daring to defend Republicans and Trump."
I will not discuss the racist part of CRT which says white people bad. Here is what I want to talk about. CRT is also linked to those who don't believe America was justly founded. Thus they want to scrap our Constitution and have a do over which would be a socialist paradise. If CRT was right about the founding being unjust then it would make sense to scrap it. But they are wrong. Have blacks been wronged in the past? Yes! But we had a Civil War because of this issue and the side won who said Slavery was a terrible thing. The Founders never thought America was a perfect place nor were Americans perfect people. It's why we have Amendments. We can make things right if they are unjust. Thus slaves were freed. Let us now move to our current day. CRT says scrap the Constitution and Capitalism. These things are actually what will help those who are believe they are not being treated fairly. It is about the freedom of the individual and the rule of Law. Let's get back to those things. Let's shake off the shackles of a tyrannical government we voted in and get back to freedom. I told my grandson today that he is to love merica. I said it that way because I don't have to think about it. AAAA Merica? Nope. I love America as founded and the hope of us all is in God's providence and adhering to all the founding principles.
Impressive pile of lies there, reverend.

And I proved you wrong about the GI Bill. Please stop spreading this lie.I do not know how much of an impact it has, neither do you. I have posted how Blacks were cut out from the GI Bill benefits after WW2. That cut down on the amount of wealth transfer to younger generations as they pass. How do we quantify that.
Blacks were far less likely to get Vietnam deferments, how do we quantify that?
We made drug charges harsher for drugs Blacks take (crack cocaine is the poster child). How do we quantify that?
How do we quantify driving while Black?
We know there are studies showing Blacks receive less adequate healthcare, how do we quantify that?
Health Inequality Actually Is a “Black and White Issue”, Research Says
University of Michigan research shows the direct correlation between systemic racism and racial health disparities in the United States.
I cannot measure all that except to say all that presents an overall detriment. Is it a 1% detriment, 5%, 10%? Who knows. But you would never enter into a 100 yard dash where the other competitors only have to run 90, 95, 99, yards.
That's all utter nonsense, Van. As usual, you are arguing against something that only exists in your fevered imagination.
Yeah man, your link just says there a huge attack coming from the right and they need to be prepared.

We are totally not teaching CRT and Kendi style "anti-racism" to your children. So much so that we are forming an attack dog group to go after parents who are against that of which we do not teach.
Sorry Van, this is example A of a perceived right wing fear that's based on long, underlying feelings and attitudes...but not based in reality.
What exactly is the dollar amount of the check you want to write? How are you going to dole it out? Like the Indian casinos? I had clients, a mother and two daughters that got in on the early Indian Casino gold rush. They spent and borrowed like it was never going to stop. Then they needed a government program to help with their debt when the gold was gone. 😂I do not know how much of an impact it has, neither do you.

I do not think I have mentioned a check. I am arguing we ain't equal yet and there are a host of reasons why.
"Take the statues down through the democratic process, not through vandalism and mobs. I'm all for that. Put them in museums."
The key thing to remember about the original (1948) Dixiecrats, was that they left the Dem party over (fellow Dem) Truman's integration of the Armed Forces. The fact that many of them then felt welcome in the GOP (esp the Goldwater wing) is significant as well. There have been a total of 11 US Senators who were AA, and while 4 of them have been GOP, only 2 of 4 (Brooke, Scott) served in the 20th or 21st Century...
Robert Byrd, Grand Kleagle of the KKK, stayed Democrat.
No no no. It’s been made clear here repeatedly. Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” invited the bad Democrats into the GOP so all the racists could be together and the blacks could be Democrats despite the party’s 250 years of racist history.
The Democrats are the new Republicans, don't you know. They claim Lincoln as their own.
People’s all over the world aren’t equal. Why keep belaboring the issue? We have laws regarding discrimination. If someone breaks those laws criminally or civilly let’s punish them. Everyone else doesn’t have to be punished each time.
Watching others pull out this dance is funny. Watching you do it is just sad, because you're smart enough to know better.
Which GI Bill statement? There are stories showing that colleges and trade schools refused to allow Blacks in after WW2, even if they had been GIs. Some banks refused to loan to Black GIs, and even if a bank would, many people refused to sell to Blacks out of personal choice or because of a deed.
You need to pick up a history book. The first problem you are going to have is placing those parties on the current left right paradigm we have today. Neither of them was really influenced by Karl Marx to start with....
Lincoln supported and signed the Morrell Land Grant College Act, vetoed by Buchanan and opposed by states rights conservatives.
"here are stories showing that colleges and trade schools refused to allow Blacks in after WW2, even if they had been GIs."
I want to add, we do not know what Lincoln would think of the ACA. There just is no way of knowing. We do not know 2hat he would think of the modern defense budget. I know of no way of knowing what he would think of social welfare programs.
Keep going, he was a Whig Marvin. I know there is this want of everyone to claim that Lincoln was actually a this or that, but the majority of his views were conservative. To argue otherwise is just making shit up.
Yes, I disagree with people if they believe we should have statues and monuments that might glorify those individuals who fought against the Union to preserve slavery. It's perverse--they were traitorous insurrectionists who were fighting to defend an abhorrent principle that I believe even they knew was immoral. Those are my political and moral beliefs. But my beliefs do not rule everyone else--I believe in the democratic process."Take the statues down through the democratic process, not through vandalism and mobs. I'm all for that. Put them in museums."
Pretty sure that is exactly what happened in Charlottesville when the town council voted unanimously to remove the statues. That resulted in Walter Kessler and his pal Richard Spencer blackmailing the city into granting them a permit to hold a "defend the statues" rally, which was originally their own Identity Europa/ Vanguard fascist followers along with the KKK. But other supposedly non-Nazi conservatives decided to include themselves and it became the "unite the right" rally, wildly promoted on Fox news...
So apparently you disagree with the "conservatives" who responded to the LEGAL removal of the statues with violence? The problem is attitudes like yours were in short supply, as "preserving the statues" became the culture war cry of the day among your less rational (fellow) right-wingers. The whole reason I'm on the other side of the CRT issue is that it's obvious the same folks who were the money/power behind the "save the statues" campaigns are filling the same role in the anti-CRT crusade. Before that, they were tea party "volunteers" who attacked Obamacare while backed by Big Tobacco...
I just read that Texas is banning the teaching of slavery being a major issue in the dispute between Mexico and Texas leading up to the Alamo. Really, Texas Legislators are afraid that kids learning history can't handle that much truth? I mean I didn't learn that truth until later, but I'm not sure teaching false history and ignoring facts is the way to go.
I think this is interesting, the perspective of a Black mom on what her kids were and were not taught in history.

Alright, you jumped the shark.
He was a Republican. Of the two parties of the era, he was a member of the more liberal one.
I wonder if he is counting all the 🤣 likes I have given him to indicate laughing at his bullshit.
Apply the current and basic left/right paradigm (because if you want to deep dive of course there is no linear left and right, more like 50 spectrums) to the actions of the 1860's.
