New York Times Magazine Declares War on America and History

No, leave the statues, and leave the slavery remembrance monuments. Just don’t try to skew are history into painting every white man as a slave holder and try to guilt trip an entire race. There is plenty to study in American history without having a laser focus on slavery. It’s a stupid idea, and a disgrace to a great nation. Yes, slavery is disgraceful, but every nation has its blemishes. There is an overwhelming amount of good stuff in our past as well.

 

The editor in chief of the NYT no doubt has a quite a bit to say about what they print. Here is his profile:

This is why the left will be confused while watching Trumps 2nd Presidential victory.

 

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed, and equality before the law.

Now which liberal policy of liberalism is keeping people "down"?

 

Cut the crap. It was a racial thing.. The Irish were subjected to indentured servitude to pay off their trip to the Americas, but they were a tiny minority compared to the blacks who were hauled in against their will from Africa.

How can you be so dismissive and consider yourself a conservative or even a human being?

 

You can't be a conservative if you believe in liberal principles..

 

Several were Irish political prisoners..

 

Lol tell us more guy.

And in your own words, explain the chart I posted.

You can doo eeet!

 

I suppose.. Compare that to the 4 million brought from Africa.

The Irish side of my family came in the early 1700s and they were sickly and impoverished in St James Parish Santee, but they weren't slaves.

 

About half of American immigrants back then were indentured servants. Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Jackson were indentured servants.

 

Really? Show me. Andrew Jackson was born in South Carolina. Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston. Are you still in school

 

Mine settled in Hawkins county, Tennessee named after the family... Irish were repressed but it didn't stop them from existing.

 

Top two countries for slaves in Africa:
Eritrea 93 slaves per 1,000 - country more than half are Christian
Burundi 40 slaves per 1000 - country is 67% Christian, 1% Muslim

 

Polls are like terlits they flush a lot of shyt... I do not take their advice or a drink of water from them..

 

Don't know about his claim of Jackson or Franklin, but his claim on the number of indentured servants is correct...at least for a specific time frame.

Before the Europeans took slaves from Africa they would raid places in Eastern Europe for slaves..

 

Well, the great State of Texas decided in 2010 that the Civil War wasn't about slavery at all.

Talk about rewriting history....SMH.

Pot, meet kettle. From Wikipedia:

"Two famous bound apprentices were Benjamin Franklin who illegally fled his apprenticeship to his brother, and Andrew Johnson, who later became President of the United States."

 

The data shows lefties only get their news from leftist sources.

This is precisely why Trump wins again in 2020.

 

How this is going to go...

 

Replacing fathers with govt checks?

 

Hmm, As a single father twice I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

 

Shythole artist..

 

The right has plenty of scurrilous people also, Rush being on the top of the dung heap for rhetorical propaganda usage and lies about personal responsibility..I dumped his azz in 1991..

 

Underlying painting is Napoleon marching into Russia-doomed to failure.

Just as the Democrat party leads its MSM minions to failure.

Quite clever, but you'd need context.
