You're not kidding! I had a very difficult argument with a 24 year old relative last month about the American election. She called me a fascist pig who wanted to bring back slavery. When I explained to her that the Republican party was the reason for the emancipation of the slaves and for the restoration of civil rights in the 1960s, she went completely silent for a moment and gave me a laugh-inducing "Not uh!"
At first I thought she was kidding, and then I had to explain to her how Democrat governors in the south were the reason blacks were treated so poorly through institutional racism. She was dumbfounded. She literally called me a liar and charged out of the room when I told her that MLK was a Republican. It would've been hilarious had it not been so sad.
I empathize. My son is a Democrat.
Blacktivists have repeated the mantra “400 years of slavery” for so long many believe it; the US had legalized slavery for about 80 years (from independence until the Civil War).
You should have slapped her face for calling you a pig!
It is the psychological manipulation of the little kindergarteners that embed emotions which cause “cognitive dissonance” when you expose these brainwahed children to Truth (God)-—ideas of the Founders.
The Fabian Socialists started their destruction of Western Civilization (Christianity) in 1930 with the communist/Humanist John Dewey who literally took Objective Truth out of the curricula as much as he could because we had local control of education at that point still. The Marxists took control over textbook publishing and all our major newspapers/Hollywood.
These kids are being programmed-—starting with TV/Movies-—most created by Marxists/Satanists to destroy moral formation in our children and create people who have no attention span (can’t read and understand a page in a complex book).
It is evil-—the destruction of critical thinking skills in the masses. Wisdom is ONLY acquired with a Classical Christian Education-—the ideas which created the Mind of Newton, Tesla and the Wright Bros. “Thinking” has to be practiced and critical thinking is taught-—by real life experiences and human interactions (unstructured) where children learn agency-—initiative (thinking for self). Schools embed dependency and hate for truth and create tribal minds (group-(non) -thinkers) who only “feel” the truth because they are devoid of the philosophy and wisdom of the ages and trained like Pavlov’s dog and have no agency.
These angry, brainwashed people are created by Marxist curricula called “critical theory” which just tears down all the heroes of a culture and never transmits the myths and truths-——which ALL cultures need if they are to exist. The Marxists never teach the Truth-—that this country was a Christian country and only Christianity created Free Will and Individualism and Modern Science and the Age of Reason and the US Constitution. It is the only culture which created true “education” (Classical Christian education which included the Bible, Aristotelian Logic, Rhetoric, Socratic Method and Euclidean proofs.
Now our children get “queer” studies to destroy Common Sense, warp their understanding of Truth, God, and Self——to literally flip Good and Evil . Discerning Good and Evil is what makes one wise-—now we teach kindergarteners that sodomy and baby-killing are virtues and Christianity is evil and bigoted-—the ONLY religion which is the most rational and is the ONLY religion which made Slavery into “Evil”.
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.
