Critical Racist Theory is rabid, anti-white racism/genocide.

'decolonize their bookshelves'

The mangling of word meanings, syntax and grammar really grate on British ears. It is evident that that author never read a book or he wouldn't write a directive like that. It's utterly meaningless. And the perhaps intended meaning is wrong. European and American writers don't occupy an unwelcome colony on my bookcase. They inform the culture that I grew up with and provide meaning and inspiration. And many of those authors write history or explain scientific discoveries. Anyone else is welcome to write stuff like that, not just those of European descent or influence. And if it is well-written and not filled with the tedious cant that fills the volumes of leftist American academia I would willingly read such stuff and add it to my book shelf.

Of course the problem is that if you can write well enough in any language that someone wants to read you, you are probably racist. In fact you probably read Shakespeare [who is universally read] and that will make you a lackey of white racist imperialists trying to colonize the minds of the other races in the world.

Disney isn't woke enough. Just look at those white gloves Mickey and Minnie Mouse are sporting. It's a dog whistle harkening back to the days of the minstrel show!

This picture and the caption are inaccurate. First, slavery in the New World in the customary sense began with the Spaniards and Portuguese, a century before Jamestown. So a man in what became the United States owning a slave would not have been the first slaveholder in the New World. Second, the man in the picture is wearing 19th Century style clothing, around the Civil War era. The first slaveholder would be wearing early 17th Century clothing.

...as part of their anti-racism training.

This should be written "...as part of their "anti-racism" training.", correctly implying that it is not, in fact, anti-racism training.

Somebody needs to post the link to the video of the big black guy punching his sister in the head at a Disney park a couple of years ago. It was a big fuss’n.

For the good of everyone if their audience continues to shrink.

You may well be technically correct. BUT, the points being made are that BLACKS DID OWN OTHER BLACKS here and, in other parts of the world, STILL DO!
And my wife’s IRISH ancestors were brought here before many Africans and treated as badly - or WORSE - than many of the blacks. Where are the calls for IRISH REPARATIONS?
Might I be so bold as to suggest you watch the video? Copy and paste the link if necessary.

No but I had met Roy Disney at a few social occasions in the early 80s for what it is worth.

I agree that there was black on black slavery, and that there were many white slaves in colonial Americans: English, Scottish and Irish, who were either paupers, convicted of petty crimes, or were on the losing side of the wars of the 17th and 18th Centuries.

That being said, inaccurate history is something our side should not engage in. The Left constantly manipulates historical events, exaggerating actual events or even inventing them. Unfortunately, I see posted on this site and other conservative sites bad history. For example, it is often asserted that the Republicans supported the civil rights legislation of the 1960s. While moderate and liberal Republicans did support the legislation, the conservative voices of that era, like Barry Goldwater and William Buckley, opposed it, not due to racial bigotry, but because of Federal overreach and states' rights issues.

We have to deal with history as it actually happened, warts and all.

My bookshelf is full of old science fiction—many of the novels have us colonizing the planets and the galaxy.

Disney can go f&^% themselves—oh, I forgot they are perverts and would enjoy it.

Funny thing happened when the black freedmen went to Liberia. They enslaved the native population.
