The most common charge levelled against the founders,
and hence against our country itself, is that they were
hypocrites who didn’t believe in their stated principles,
and therefore the country they built rests on a lie. This
charge is untrue, and has done enormous damage,
especially in recent years, with a devastating effect on
our civic unity and social fabric.

Fuck these folks.

As shoddy as it is dangerous.

According to this, MLK Jr. and the civil rights movement is equivalent to John Calhoun and his push for white superiority

If memory serves me correct, this was Trump's response to the 1619 Project, which came out in 2019, two years into Trump's current term in office. He and folks in his cabinet felt that project brought about too much 'hatred' for America, hence this BS response.

Given that it was done as dude is leaving office with historically bad polling numbers, I wonder how much attention this will receive.

And not a single historian was involved. LOL.

"“The White House 1776 Report seems to regard calling the Founders hypocritical about slavery as worse for the country than actual slavery,” Seth Masket, a professor of political science at the University of Denver, wrote on Twitter."

.....

"Mr. Trump’s commission produced its report just four months after it was created and less than a month after Mr. Trump publicly announced its members. By contrast, a commission on race created by President Bill Clinton in June 1997 issued its first report 15 months later.

While billed by the White House as “definitive,” the report included no scholarly footnotes or citations, nor was it clear who its primary authors were."

I remember Trump responding to some random person that was denoucing the 1619 Project. Trump mentioned he was going to do something about that fact this was being taught in schools. I wouldn't surprise me if Trump only learned about the 1619 Project through that twitter interaction rather than reading it for himself.

when I read the title

It's ALWAYS something, like I have a roommate as opposed to a stranger that I just happen to live next to.

I read the title and was like "damn them niggas are really wilding now."

He got a new sound system and he's been tweaking it. But the way his house is shaped and the way his set up is the bass carries all the way to the other side of my house.

What I ended up doing for right now is creating a "bass trap." I put my sub at the closest source of sound from him. And when I need to, I push high volume 55-75HZ to his house. It filters out much of his bass, but also sends noise back to his house to disrupt the flow.

doesn’t this fuck with your kids ears?

I've spent way more than one hour dealing with this. And an hour is the most time I feel a person should spend on someone else's shit.

I've already gone over and talked to him about it.

As far as my kids ear. I have to do it when nobody else is downstairs. By putting the sub RIGHT at the wall it doesn't go too many other places in the house, but there are pockets that it bounces back to.

It's entirely too much shit to deal with someone else's foolishness.

its forty goddamn pages, i would be down to read it if other people did and we talk about it.

otherwise...no one has time for all of this.

It's basically a troll. There's enough internal diversity within the field and enough shitty historians desperate for attention that they could have found people whose credentials gave this turd some polish. The reason they didn't was because that's not necessary for the smaller goal of owning the libs.

But the devil hates to be mocked. So if you wanna shoot spitballs at this from the back of the room, I'm in. If not, reasonable! After all, it's a pile of low-effort shit that doesn't deserve our attention.

These clowns are getting in their final shots, letting us know that they are excatly who we've been saying they are.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/19/us/politics/pompeo-multiculturalism.html

Multiculturalism “is not who America is,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on his last full day at the State Department, a curious message from a diplomat whose own ancestors were immigrants from Italy, and one that ran counter to the United States’ long-held pride in being a melting pot of cultures.

In a post on Twitter, Mr. Pompeo, who has overseen a State Department where diplomats of color have been ignored, passed over or otherwise pressured to resign, also decried what he described as a sop to political correctness that he said “points in one direction — authoritarianism.”

“Wokeism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they’re not who America is,” Mr. Pompeo wrote. “They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker.”

The tweet infuriated American diplomats abroad and in the United States who described it as a final insult by an administration that has promoted far more white male Foreign Service Officers than women or people of color. Black and Hispanic diplomats each make up 8 percent of the Foreign Service, and Asians account for 7 percent, according to State Department data from March, the most recent available.

Mr. Pompeo’s post was particularly notable in that it came the day before Kamala Harris will be inaugurated as the first woman of color to hold the office of vice president.

“Talk about not reading the room,” said Lewis A. Lukens, the former deputy ambassador in London, responding to Mr. Pompeo’s post on Twitter.

Mr. Pompeo’s remarks may have been aimed at political conservatives he hopes to win over in future campaigns for office, including, possibly, a bid the presidency in 2024. It may also be a final dig at the 1619 Project, a New York Times project that reframes American history around the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans, which Mr. Pompeo has criticized repeatedly.

Spoiler 1: They are a hand-picked group of racists from around the GOP ecosystem (Federalist Soc, former Gov. of Mississipi, evangelicals, etc)

Spoiler 2: None of them are historians (well, there is a guy w/ a classics background and another w/ a BA in English/History & a podcast). I also have a history degree. I am by no means a historian.

Note: You don't need a degree necessarily to make valuable contributions, however, when you create something this where you to avoid having anyone involved in the field involved (esp. anyone who isn't an out and out bigot) then that's notable.

It's disheartening how a Bush era joint like this is still so relevant today, if not moreso, considering this 1776 bullshit.

Pissed on the motherfucking White House lawn
I threw a rock (Iraq), then I ran (Iran)
Cause I couldn't stand anymore within the grips of the man
Y'all wanna ask me who's sane (Hussein)
These biological gasses are eating my brain
Its a political grab bag to rape mother earth
Thirty seconds after they bagged dad (Baghdad) for what he's worth
Thousands will die now so millions can smile later
This ain't the Rockford Files nigga
They stockpile data for satellites
Where you discuss who's style is greater
In this killing pool you playing it cool like Cal Tjader
When ya'll ready to rock like Led Zep and Al Qaeda
With weapons of mass destruction an hour later
What's your identity today?
You on some John F. Kennedy or Timothy McVeigh?
This Henessy done left me with a remedy to spray
For my identity your life is the penalty to pay
Motherfucker

My life is all I have to give
Please lord forgive me for my sins
My life is all I have to give
Damn you that lost the will to live
Trapped in the game
Just tryin' to win
Just tryin' to win
Just tryin' to win

Its not a Vietnam song
I know women from desert storm who came back deformed
Missin' limbs and diseases in they legs and arms
Chemicals twice as strong as agent orange
Its messages in the bass drum
War goin' off in your mind
No man is safe from
Its not a Game Boy, Xbox, the PlayStation
It's Resident Evil when every President's a mason
Robbin (Robin) y'all fools like Dick Grayson
And y'all inherited roots and don't know how to retrace them
Place them back
Face them facts
Disgraceful, faceless, tasteless acts
Pharoahe takes teh authorities to court
Peep crime before it happens like Minority Report
And I will never be mentally defenseless
Cats be on the block, in the hood in the trenches sayin'

My life is all I have to give
Please lord forgive me for my sins
My life is all I have to give
Damn you that lost the will to live
Trapped in the game just tryin' to win

Lock! load! into position
Rock! roll! its primitive condition
Lock! load! into position
Rock! roll! it's primitive condition
Lock! load!
Rock! roll!
Into position
