They should just not give it a name since no one will ever be pure enough to pass the woke test.
Michelle Obama has been vetted by the most aggressively, violently woke SJW i know. I decided to ask (at a dinner party) who was pure enough, and she was the only one who passed the test haha. This lady was a great shit talker and pretty much had something bad to say about everyone⦠except Michelle Obama.
(a year prior she had to be physically restrained by her husband after i made a fairly clean joke about my love for Arnold Schwarzenegger).
Every slave holder that has something named after them canāt be renamed.
Washington?
Just for a little while longer, until they find evidence of her micro transphobia.
BTW, if someone missed the latest woke bulletin, mixed race people are also the enemy:
Booker T⦠then again, he was a capitalist.
Capitalist.
Say, we could come up with a list ranked by intersectā¦
Damn. Too late.
Sheās not woke enough. Michelle, by virtue of exhibiting whiteness, supports white supremacy.
Colin K?
He gets a pass because heās Black with a capital B.
If your dare to advocate for ⦠(checks notes)⦠looking past someoneās skin color you immediately become a whitey.
From what i know, Washington only owned slaves because he owned a farm and day laborers didnt really exist then, just slaves, and by all accounts was a good dude and treated them well. Also, he essentially founded this country so he gets his name on a bunch of stuff despite any minor indiscretions.
that said, i donāt really have a problem with changing names of schools, parks, streets, monuments, etc as long as it doesnt present a financial hardship or create logistical hardships. things change, this would be a fairly minor change in my life.
Basically i think its kind of a stupid cause to go after the dead guys that werent objectively bad people (or traitors), and i think its a stupid hill to die on to oppose re-namings as it really doesnt matter.
And if you are already trans, but show transphobia - isnāt that just self hatred?
She fails for having a husband thet is half devil anyway.
Man l need to go mow the yard.
Heat index is nearly 100 at 10am
IDK know if even the wokest will go after her haha. But, weāll see.
Thatās the first thing communist everywhere went after, and for a reason.
You will never have to worry about this liberal moving to your area haha. Fuck. That.
Minor?
He led the first army in an act of aggression using federal powers against the countries own citizens to quash the Whiskey Rebellion.
Heās basically Hitler before even Hitler was Hitler.
I think that this sentence from Wikipedia says it all about the Whiskey Rebellion: Most distillers in nearby Kentucky were found to be all but impossible to tax
haha somethings never change.
Of course it matters. History matters. Understanding people on a human level, and not just as white, black, or whatever matters. When the narrative is that white men are responsible for all of the evil in the world, and enslaving blacks and killing indigenous peoples are the evidence of that āfactā, it is racist. Indigenous peoples conquered and enslaved. The Aztecs sacrificed thousands of POWs. Imperialism is a manifestation of white evil yet the Aztecs had an empire, sub-Saharan Africa had empires and slavery, Ancient Egypt was an empire.
Columbus is the devil because of his history with slavery, but where did these slaves come from? They were bought in African slave markets. Tear down the white manās statue while holding up Africa as some utopia that cannot be criticized for its sins. But by recognizing those sins, we actually come together as one human race as we can see how we all reflect the good and bad of humanity. Painting a picture of perpetual and inherent black innocence and perpetual and inherent white evil, does no one any good except those who profit off of hate.
Because conservatives actually enjoy living in areas where conservative policies are enacted. The real question is why are liberals so keen to move out of liberal areas? If liberal policies worked, everyone would want to live there. As it is, even liberals donāt want to live there.
Stalingrad. Leningrad.
Which is why i think the hill to die on would be a change to school curriculum that eliminates teaching about people important to the story of this country because they were shitty people. Knowledge is power. Choosing the history we teach in order to shape a narrative is a hill i would die on. Its why id prefer that all statues remain up and the shitty folks have big plaques describing their shittiness. But, āschool pride/spiritā is american AF, and its tough for a black student to be prideful about a school name that represents a slave holder.
Also, at least in my district 20+ years ago, we learned about the African and ME slave trade along with the Atlantic slave trade. Atlantic slave trade wouldnt have existed (atleast not in the same form) without the african slave trade.
