America Fixates On 500 Assholes Instead Of Healing

I realize you disagree good brother. I'm not trying to sway you.
I am making the case for history being treated as such- no more and no less.

From all I see - including Trump many times- the 21st century is being run by idiots.
we'd rather froth Russiaphobia then confront China as an existential threat to Pax Americana.
they glom onto our world order, but use NK as a dangerous pawn ( etc.)

Telling me the left is winning is obvious, but not particularly persuasive an argument

I'm not trying to persuade you .. just stating facts that you don't seem to know.

The only group which hates America more than ISIS is the modern day left.

That's why they're careful not to mention "Islam" or "terrorists" when they chop someone's head off.

The enemy of my enemy is my widdle fren.

. Less than 5% of the whites in the South owned slaves. Fully 3/4's of the white people of the South had neither slaves nor an immediate economic interest in the maintenance of slavery or the plantation system.

This was written by none other than the late John Hope Franklin in From Slavery to Freedom, McGraw-Hill, 1994., p. 123. Franklin was a Harvard educated Professor Emeritus of History and Professor of Legal History at Duke University. Dr. Franklin also happened to be a Black man. This may come as an inconvient truth to some here.

So, why did they fight. As Prof. V.L. Parrington said in his Pulitizer Prize winning book Main Currents in American Thought, "slavery was only the immediate casus belli. The deeper cause was the antagonistic conceptions of the theory and functions of the political state that emerged from antagonistic economic systems."

i guess it is ok for the liberal brown shirts to fight an try to deny 1st amd rights.
 
more bs.....

This country was built on racism and the oppression of Black people and anti Blackness and violence and until we address the truth that THOSE were the principles that have guided this country... this shit will keep happening. we haven't over come, if we had we wouldn't be talking about these same old issues now. five hundreds years and we are still fighting the same battles.

It was mighty kind of the neo-Nazis to hold a violent demonstration in Charlottesville as the US power establishment’s Russia narrative burns to ashes and the American war machine sets its chess pieces in place.

The demonstrations have been saturated in corporate media coverage, which has consistently ignored the growing mountain of evidence that our species is being imperiled by new cold war escalations because of a Russian hack that never happened.

America isn't fixated on this; the Phoney Fake media and the DNC are. Everyone else tunes this bullshit out.

good research.
I do not want to minimize slavery -as you say it was the immediate casus belli.

But as you also say the south was victim ( my word) of antagonistic economic system.

I always wondered why the north could employ child labor and never be called on it?
weren't there also indentured servants?

Now everyone’s preoccupied with shaking their fists at 500 douchebags in self-righteous indignation instead of asking if they’ve been lied to by their government and the mass media propaganda machine for the last year.

And I mean, I get it. It’s so easy to point and screech condemnation at a group of obvious assholes, so satisfying, so socially rewarding. Your odds of finding someone in your social circle who agrees with you when you say are pretty much 100 percent, and it feels good to be united against a common enemy.

Why not dedicate a percentage of America’s massive public sector to truly fixing the damage caused by slavery, and to the genocide of indigenous tribes while you’re at it?

Don’t tell me there’s no money while the US has hundreds of military bases stretching all across the planet, drops bombs every single day on countries most Americans can’t find on a map, and pours billions upon billions of dollars into corporate welfare.
There’s money. You just don’t want to divert it toward this specific end.

So spare me your excitement over the 500 assholes in Charlottesville, you liberals and lefties who are more comfortable looking without than looking within.
Spare me your self-righteous tweets and your virtue signalling orgies, and instead turn your efforts toward something that will actually work
. What you’re doing is not working. Try something different.
There have been many great minds who have argued convincingly that money can be skillfully applied to righting the wrongs of America’s past, and it’s time to start considering their ideas.

In a system where money equals power, a ruling class necessarily emerges which is necessarily incentivized to keep the public poor in order to maintain their rule.
Power is relative, so the most revolutionary thing you can possibly do in a corporatist plutocracy like America is try to bring economic justice to the masses. This necessarily includes the descendents of the victims of America’s intrinsically white supremacist history.

Those 500 neo-Nazis aren’t bothered by your self-righteous indignation.
They’ll be bothered if you move your country into the exact opposite direction that they are trying to push it into.
You want to really stick it to these assholes? Stop feeding them attention and start insisting on reparations.
