Nope. Was it REALLY that       "wrong" to hold people from the countries in which we were at war? No.              Do they teach THIS in your White Guilt Diaries?              Italians:       About 600 Italian Americans were interned during WWII, mostly due to suspected       ties to the Italian government or fascist organizations.       Some Italian Americans were detained for questioning or suspected subversive       activities, but most were released after a short period.              Germans:       Around 4,000 German Americans were interned during WWII, often due to       suspected ties to the German government or Nazi organizations.       Some German Americans were detained for questioning or suspected subversive       activities, but most were released after a short period.              > > > The Trail of Tears happened.              Yes, and those things ARE mentioned in History books, but always with the       "inappropriate disparagements" against White People.              They can teach that without the commentary and shaming.              "African Americans, both free and enslaved, played a significant role in the       Trail of Tears."              Do they teach THAT?              Were the Indians totally innocent of any wrongdoings? Hardly.              Do they teach THIS?              Many Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw tribes OWNED       ENSLAVED AFRICANS, who were forcibly relocated alongside their Native American       owners. It's estimated that between 2,000 to 4,000 enslaved Africans were       forcibly moved during the Trail of Tears.              Indians owning slaves? Are they ever "inappropriately disparaged" in History       books, like Whites?              > > > Klan lynchings happened.              Can you show us where that's been eliminated from any text?              > > > Why do you oppose teaching the truth?              Black men, who are ~6.5% of the population, are guilty of murdering half the       people in America.              MANY American Indians are alcoholics.              Why do you oppose teaching THOSE truth?              They only want to shame Whites for what happened in the past with NO other       "truths" that went along with happened.              Why do you support the teaching of "truths" that are only meant to shame       people?              Why isn't having children out-of-wedlock or crime rates in the inner city       "taught"?              If or when anything is "taught" about minorities, it's always taught to shame       Whites for putting them in those predicaments, when the vast majority of White       people had/have NOTHING to do with anything in the past.              > > Was anything you mentioned banned? Why do you continue to throw out       > > red herrings?              >       > "content that inappropriately disparage       > Americans past or living....       >       >       > What does "inappropriately disparage" men?              Shame or embarrass them or make them feel guilty for something they never did,       JUST to make them feel bad and Blacks and other minorities good.              Does that REALLY need to be?              Why is it never taught that Blacks in Africa sold Blacks to Arabs and Muslims       to sell around the world?              Doesn't fit the narrative that all Whites are racists, and THAT makes for good       news stories.              =============================================================================              "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition              All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.              "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has       been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the       point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."              Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the       Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or       stages:              "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The       president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were       all it took to change the world."              "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's       vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of       hyperbole."              "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from       reality."              The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk       opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump       announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would       suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.       There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be       received positively by TDSers.              The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early       2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-       night comics and nothing more.              Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first       coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.       The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in       otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -       the very existence of George W. Bush."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
