Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 You sound scared. Of leftist lunacy? Yes I am. Why? Because they're enabled by the likes of that globalist scumbag Soros and the twats in the media. Upheld as heroes on par with American soldiers that stormed the beaches at Normandy. You would be too, if you weren't a sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Doubt it. Do you think our history of chattel slavery, genocidal western expansion, and apartheid is a history worth celebrating? It's ok to be proud to be an American and also admit that our history of oppression and genocide is real. Nothing wrong with identifying a mistake and working to improve. Give me your thoughts on the Egyptian Pyramids. Agreed, But you don't glorify it. Did I miss the part where they burned all the books about the Civil War while taking down the symbols of oppression? It's not like the statues are the only way to tell the story. Let some people glorify it let other look at it as a reminder of what the world (yes slavery was a worldwide practice) was like.

To quote my man George Carlin, we are the only country that mentions rockets and bombs right there in our national propaganda song! Give me your thoughts on the Egyptian Pyramids.

I heard we are going to have one National Anthem for every day of the week. For today we have this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Doubt it. Do you think our history of chattel slavery, genocidal western expansion, and apartheid is a history worth celebrating? It's ok to be proud to be an American and also admit that our history of oppression and genocide is real. Nothing wrong with identifying a mistake and working to improve. I think those things are the reality of the history of humanity. Humans, as we know them, have been on Earth for some 200,000 years (6 million years if you want to include our ancestors). We've been civilized for maybe 6000 of those. In all of human history, the concept of freedom as we understand it is only about 300 some odd years old, and has only been being practiced for less than 250. In this timeline, black Americans achieved their freedom roughly 100 years later than white Americans. In a historical timeline spanning 200,000 years that isn't a very large disparity, but more importantly slavery, in one form or another, is far more normal and common in human history than freedom is. Slavery was part of our evolution. Just about every race and ethnicity has been enslaved at some point or another, all across the world. Our history of slavery is not "evil", it simply is. Which isn't to say, of course, that slavery today wouldn't be evil. It would, but only because of our moral evolution from the Enlightenment forward, and the near universal adaptation, though gradual, of it's concepts of freedom. The same thing applies western expansion and colonialism. Only very recently has the globe adopted a more stable and peaceful tact in regards to conquest. It was the way the entire world functioned until very recently. You cannot judge the history of the world through the lens of 2017 social mores and retain any understanding of the history of the world, and anyone finding offense in our history isn't qualified to have an opinion on it.

boyst Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I think in time, any statue of a white person is going to be considered offensive/racist. I imagine at some point in time Ralph Wilson's statue will be protested against and torn down because he was an evil racist. first to have a black qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
