It will only get worse as Jeopardy gets woke and inclusive like everything else that wants to self-destruct.

Why would racists do that?

The Civil War is complicated stuff--many Union soldiers were angered and stunned by the Emancipation Proclamation and wrote home:

"I joined the Army to preserve the Union. Nobody said anything about freeing the &^%$ n*&&^%."

I’m 69. I can recite it too. I reckon I memorized it in 1963.

I wonder if any of them know what the Gettysburg Address is.

"How did #Jeopardy manage to find three contestants who don't recognize the closing line of the Gettysburg Address?

Probably because the show's producers are more interested in contestants who know what color underwear Madonna wears.

When I first saw it, I thought that the movie , “Idiocracy” was a comedy. Alas, I have come to understand that it was prophecy.

Or the one that thought a $2 bill was fake and called the cops.

That story was about some poor kid paying for his school lunch. No one in the school knew a $2 bill was legal tender.

I watched it a lot as a kid and literally read thousands of books then I grew up.

Who cares for history anymore? It’s just a fad thing.

It’s all about pop culture and obscure writings these days.

Amazing how far we’ve fallen. I’m tempted to grab a few Susan B. Anthonys and head to WalMart just to see their reaction.
