Maybe there's something we need to know about where Cosby's ideas came from (his fashion sense, too).

The question intrigued me ... and the article does, too
It goes back to when Cain thought he could modify reality to fit his notion of the ideal. In other words, when God would need to adjust His nature to accommodate him. Liberals have been trying to modify reality ever sense: from Nimrod to Hegal to anyone who doesn’t recognize the FACT of inalienable rights.
I had no idea RFK lifted that quote from Shaw, and who Shaw had originally saying it. Ironic.
For Liberals, history began this morning when they got up.
Liberalism by it’s own logic is the RE-DEFINITION of reality.
Hence, why all libs have some form of mental disease.
Except when the topic moves to slavery.
No. They are babes in the woods for whom the Universe began at their birth. They have no conception of a past which does not contain them.
In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in communist society, the present dominates the past. …The history of their ideology is meant to be kept from liberals, to the point of believing it “everwise exist(s)” to use Newspeak.

Love that funky brier.
LOL! So true.
That is the primacy of consciousness. It has dominated western philosophy from Plato, to Protagoras, to Hume, to Kant, and to the postmodernists. It is the opposite of the rational metaphysics of primacy of existence which states that existence exists, and it has metaphysical primacy, and reality is independent of one's thoughts
bkmk
Liberals don’t “know history”. They “write history”. Then rewrite it when what they wrote in the first place is no longer convenient.
The great thing about being a liberal is that “fact” is defined as “what I want to believe right now” (and history is just a collection of “facts”). No matter where you are, you are the smartest person in the room and anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot (or moron or moran or miron or whatever you choose to use to describe them at the time)
And if the idiot keeps disagreeing you can claim your current location is a “safe space” (a place where “facts” are constantly repeated but truth is not allowed unless it happens to overlap with a “fact”).
Down the memory hole it goes.
For someone who is intrigued by the Mobius loop, This;
"It is the opposite of the rational metaphysics of primacy of existence which states that existence exists, and it has metaphysical primacy, and reality is independent of one's thoughts"
is just begging for contemplation
If you ask them about the history of slavery they have a vague idea that mean white people enslaved kidnapped black people.
If they went to Sunday School (a big if) they might recall the Israelites were slaves in Egypt.
Aside from that, Tabula rasa.

I love pictures like this. When I look back on some I have taken, my children have all sorts of things growing out of their heads. :-)
