Try not to forget this is coming from a PR team that hired paid actors to attend Trump's announcement. Anonymous sources and no metrics, not to...
You're talking about European slavery which took place hundreds of years ago, most long before the Atlantic slave trade. Slavery covers a wide...
Who is rewriting history? If anything, the brutality of slavery and Jim Crow has been downplayed in the collective American imagination. I've...
We're not just talking about your school, your city. I don't understand this myopia that seems to plague right-wingers, similar to "climate change...
So how should we discuss history then? Put in a trigger warning for all the sensitive white people?
This is an interesting issue, check out Chris Mooney's work if you want a deep-dive into the conservative psyche in particular. I think it's...
Yea, we should just cut that "War on Poverty" right out, especially Food Stamps, Medicare and Social Security. Not to mention the fact that it...
So in your view, censoring the past will somehow lead to racial harmony? Sounds just like the rationale behind abstinence-only education. "If we...
Documented? I don't see any sources. Black poverty isn't a recent phenomenon, by the way. Are the liberals responsible for Jim Crow as well?...

You're creating a false dichotomy. Acknowledging the hurdles you face head on and understanding them is fundamental for rising up the economic...
What is wrong with this? Given how whitewashed our history has become, many young people today don't have an accurate grasp of American history....

The military is incredibly bloated, yet so-called fiscal conservatives scream bloody murder any time someone attempts to cease purchasing tanks...
