We should have a BLM Jeopardy game show to see what people don’t know it would be a great teaching exercise.The money would be a bonus. Open it to all races and religions.
But the purpose of the confederacy was to allow states to continue slavery. If the South did not have slaves, do you believe there would have been a civil war?
The democrats didn't care about them when they were taking them as slaves, they didn't care when they were forming the KKK and passing Jim Crow laws, and they don't care about them now that they have their votes locked up. The only difference is now the democrats have to pretend to care to keep their votes.
Good!
I would strongly suggest that he does more teaching of that history rather than making soundbites and tweets that get the media drooling and let’s them twist historical facts.
Also get someone like Candace Owens front and center in his campaign. And do it NOW!
Prepare for the wrath of the confederacy amen corner.
A speech from Gettysburg would be nice.
When it come to talking to people about Trump, I tell them that if they have not watched the President say ‘things’ in total context of his speeches....
I have no interest in talking to them at all about President Trump and...that they need to seek out his total interviews, speeches etc...stop listening to talking head propagandists that twist and distort EVERYTHING that he says because, what they say is pretty much total BS.
BLM is one of the most racist outfits around these days.
and also most regrettably it is stirring up widespread hatred against black people generally, as unfair as this may be.
Just as the good Catholics can’t control or reign in Nancy Pelosi the lying baby killer, and just like good honest Jews can’t reign in several apostates or JINOs who are embarrassing them, good decent black people cannot stop hoodlums and street gangsterslike BLM (Burglary, Looting, Mayhem). The results tend to be generalized antipathy towards their entire communities even though this is patently unfair. There it is, nonetheless.
There is a growing backlash against BLM and its enabler-DNC type politicians. This is beginning to look like it may not end pretty.
“But the purpose of the confederacy was to allow states to continue slavery.”
That was only a part of it. The Southerners were red hot over tariffs being levied against them. Lincoln made it plain he was not fighting the Civil War to end slavery, but to preserve the Union. As someone has said, the issue is never the issue. Do you honestly think systematic racism is a real issue, the issue? No, it is only a means to an end.
“If the South did not have slaves, do you believe there would have been a civil war?”
Of course. The Civil War was orchestrated to destroy the United States. They would have chosen another issue. The Civil War was one of the most deceptive wars in human history.
I’m hard pressed to think of one. Any suggestions?
The southern states would not have joined the Republic without slavery allowed. The issue was just kicked down the road for 100 years
When the southern states joined the new nation, the northern states had slaves too. My state of NJ outlawed it only 15 years before the Civil War - but turned the slaves at the time into “apprentices for life” (which only ended after the Civil War).
For what its worth, the flag of the slave state of NJ is the same flag we use today.
Blacks don’t realize the Democrats have already thrown them under the bus. The Democrats have a new larger group of victims in the way of illegals and millennials.
ANTIFA/BLM folks should heed that advice and learn about Russian, Cuban, South African, and Venezuelan history.
We’re on the same road those nations have taken unfortunately.
It seems every history has hidden facts, such as Roosevelt deliberately creating conditions for a Japanese first-strike.
The educated blacks seem to be heading toward miscegenation. Most of the ones left will be the underclass -- and their numbers will be diminished as they continue to shoot each other. Their society seems to be in a state of decadence.
Excellent points. People on the left want to discuss what the media claims that PDJT said, instead of what he actually said. They definitely do not want to discuss the context.
Looks like you need to study up on the history of that time. The abolitionists were a crazed bunch, for example, who were calling for bloodshed over slavery before the South ever considered secession.
The southern states would not have joined the Republic without slavery allowed.”
You have no way on earth of actually knowing that. Politicians put forth positions to bargain. The Constitution prohibited any new slaves from being allowed into the United States, and the Southern states accepted that.
The French Revolution was tightly organized and orchestrated and it succeeded very well in overthrowing an entire nation using made up issues. Same thing happened during the period before the Civil War and is happening to us presently. Multitudes of Americans are now believing that the United States, the freest, greatest, most prosperous nation in world history is fundamentally flawed and needs to be fundamentally transformed. Is that logical? It just shows that demagogues can convince a population to believe anything.
Yes, and 95% of democRATs make the rest look bad.
