"Start with Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels, then Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Saul Alinsky, maybe even Hillary Clinton. That would be a good start!"

Well, I guess that NPR commie didn't give his plan a lot thought, did he... Typical.. :)

“LOL! And it would be an “I can read” sort of book.”

Yeah, it would be like ‘See Spot Dick Jane’ except with more ghetto names.

Funny ...

I do not know when he said it, but I distinctly recall him saying it, because I started to take action on his recommendation.

He said to start...start collecting, reading and saving books. Classics and some of the new books too. I know he doesn’t carry much water here in FR anymore because of his stance in the 2016 election, but what he said during the early Obama years is ringing true today...Glenn Beck.

:Sooner or later, everything old is new again.” ~ Stephen Linda King. They’re not even trying to conceal their true race war agenda anymore. On a positive note, that’s one way to liberate 99.7% of your previously dedicated bookshelf space — you racist white colonialist bastards.

The bigotry of democrats has always disgusted me, and they are now doubling down on racism. I will never accept or reject a book based on the authors race.

NPR will be defunded.

NPR has been on my 'to die' tagline list for a long time.

well, King James isn’t the actual author of the Bible, only the boss of the translators of a particular translation. The human authors were people like Moses and David and Isaiah and Saint Luke and Saint Paul. Because the Democrats want to consider “Middle Eastern” as its own race, I would classify these Hebrew authors as “nonwhite” for these purposes. The real ultimate author of the Sacred Scriptures, the Holy Spirit, however, transcends all racial classifications. So don’t toss the Bible but read it thoroughly and continuously and follow its precepts.

IOW - let’s use the “Hamilton” method to totally hijack a human story that is set in a specific place/time where certain facts are known and deny those facts so we can invent another story.

Doesn’t it though?

My daughter and I were talking the other day. I bought a copy of Clarence Thomas’ autobiography at a library sale. I was upset to see it had a sticker on the spine that said “African American Interest”

The concept of libraries self-segregating books was angering to me.

She used to manage the children’s department at a Barnes and Noble bookstore and told me that she saw the same thing. The only books written for young readers featuring black characters were SJW trash. There was literally nothing featuring positive or neutral characters who just happened to be black, but who’s skin color was not central to the plot.

She’s a conservative living in a very white liberal area. She told me that the PhD moms would get all upset when she told them there was no African American section to the children’s area.
