In 1998, I had the same conversation with a black WO3 who would not believe that the Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights bill. I had to go on the “fledgling” internet and pull up the Congressional list from that vote. He did not talk to me for three weeks and was never very friendly after that.

Reality bites when you are dumb.

I wonder how they would react if they were told other blacks in Africa sold other black into Slavery...Tribal warfare provided supply of slaves.

By now, they have been so indoctrinated that they would not believe it.

They love calling us fascist pigs when in reality a fascist is far right on the LEFT of the political spectrum. These idiots also wrongly equate Nazi to the right wing. These minds of mush just repeat what they hear and or taught not having any understanding of what they say. In regards to pigs, she should pick up Animal Farm and learn something.

Also Slavery was a Colonial issue not U.S.

Thirty two students’ answers aren’t enough to make a conclusion.

First: No I did not read the whole article. A FR tradition. ;o)

Second: Students haven’t spent much time reading the Old Testament.

Third: At least they knew there had been a Civil War.

scholars - Howard Zinn. Two words that should not be used in the same sentence as they contradict each other.

Today I attended a “Town Hall” meeting at the woman’s college where I work & which is part of the Orthodox Jewish university system.

To my surprise, a number of students complained about separate-sex education, gender inequality, and censorship. They wanted to study left-wing ideology. One girl with weird hair & a hippie voice spoke about the possibility of dorming near — or with — the boys. The university president tried to explain that a religious institution had to adhere to certain traditional/conservative values.

I couldn’t help marveling at how lost & confused this generation was, let alone academically ignorant. Why were these girls even there? Probably they resented being in a sheltered, controlled environment. Liberalism always represents freedom, even if it isn’t truth, so they’ll embrace anything taught by these advocates.

Guess the snowflakes aren’t aware that the Bible speaks about servants and slaves. Pretty sure that came out before the 1700s.

For 80 years it was an American issue; Europeans governments maintained it prior to our formation as a country.
