[Garbage Truck] I'll remind you, this conversation began with my stating that I thought Lerone Bennett was a Black Liberation theorist and revisonist historian.

Here is what you ACTUALLY said:


Isn't Lerone Bennett a notorious black separatist and revisionist?

The short answer, yes he is. In an earlier revisionist work The Shaping of Black America , Bennett credits the American founding fathers in Virginia with inventing racism as an economic strategy to exploit African, Native Indian, and European workers.

But don't let the inconvienent fact that the Black liberation left agrees with you about Lincoln disturb your closed minds. It would be slothful induction to conclude that as a result YOU endorse Black liberation, American founders inventing racism, or any of the myriad other historical nonsense Bennett and his fellow travelers spew.


Truth is neither black, white, red, brown, nor yellow. Truth is neither left, right, conservative, nor liberal. If something is the truth, I do not care who agrees with it.

What you said was, that Bennett is a notorious black separatist.

Show me where Bennett has ever used the term "Black Separatist."

Show me where Bennett has ever said he was a "Black Separatist."

Provide a quote or link for any reputable source which alleges Bennett is, or ever has been, a "notorious Black separatist."

YOU are the one who said that the short answer is that Bennett is a "notorious black separatist." If he is not just a black separatist, but a notorious black separatist, a source should be easy to find.

You and I have some unfinished business, nolu.

Provide a quote or link for any reputable source which alleges Bennett is, or ever has been, a "notorious Black separatist."

Sure.

How about Lentulusgracchus, the person who actually said it to you? 1913

After you disagreed with him using some of your patented bullshit , I responded to him in rare agreement , making a short citation wherein Lerone Bennett Jr. credits the founding fathers with inventing racism.

Now, if you have a problem with Lerone Bennett Jr. being charecterized as a notorious black separtist, I'd suggest you take it up with LG.

Otherwise, persist in defending Lerone Bennett Jr. as NOT being a known black liberation theorist, and leftwing revisonist historian on this forum, and I'm going to make you look like a bigger fool than Dennis Kucinich.
