Black Issues

[Osiris1241]

On TV, a show stated that there was a black regiment of 15k or 150k mostly slaves who fought for the South. I guess cancel culture should not acknowledge them neither, nor acknowledge the South period, for they are backwards and stupid unlike the progressive- civil rights regressive.

which show told you that? There was a militia unit of about 1200 free blacks in New Orleans, but they never saw combat and only went on parade occasionally. A few thousand slaves were pressed into service late in the war, but it isn't talked about much since the war ended about 3 weeks afterwards.

"slaves were pressed into service", LOL. Did they come out flat and wrinkle free? Use any starch? ^^^^^^^ Mr. Gates on 'Finding your roots' last week telling an Afro American guest that his bloodline fought for the South, but later switched over to the North when the South was loosing. I guess they didn't want to go to a Northern run prison camp, which their color of their skin allowed them to switch.

Americans embrace falsehoods about critical race theory [really?] Critical race theory, a once-obscure academic concept [knowledge but no wisdom] that has sparked school board protests and classroom bans in some states, is largely misunderstood among the general public, even by those who say they are familiar with what it teaches [really?] about racism in America [duh, we are all different that makes Whites racist?] , according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll [polls, here we go!]. The national opinion survey taken on Monday and Tuesday found that 57% of adults said they were not familiar with the term, also known by its shorthand, CRT, which asserts that racism is woven into the U.S. legal system and ingrained in its primary institutions [Whites made the laws and this Nation, thus Whites are racist, just say it]. Many of those who said they were familiar with it answered follow-up questions that showed they embraced a variety of misconceptions about critical race theory that have been largely circulating among conservative media outlets [Left reporters pushing this ideal]. For example, 22% of those who said they were familiar with critical race theory also think it is taught in most public high schools. It is not [How do you know?]. Thirty-three percent believe it “says that white people are inherently bad or evil” or that “discriminating against white people is the only way to achieve equality.” It does not [Again, Whites made the laws and this Nation; your calling Whites racist but it is racist to say it, so call America racist to get around that]. Among respondents who said they were familiar with CRT, only 5% correctly answered all seven true-false questions [the most form of trickery] that the poll asked about the history and teachings of critical race theory [duh, never take a poll that is bias to start with]. Only 32% correctly answered more than four of the seven questions. The poll showed that a bipartisan majority of Americans say that high school students should learn about slavery [who does not teach history?] and racism [called CRT] in America [just say it, Whites are racist, for America includes all races, everyone racist?]. Yet respondents were more opposed to teaching critical race theory, which maintains that the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow racial segregation laws continues to create an uneven playing field for nonwhite Americans [notice, left reporter input]. For example, 78% of adults, including nine in 10 Democrats and seven in 10 Republicans, said they supported teaching high school students about slavery [duh, it is taught in history class] in the United States. Seventy-three percent of adults, including nine in 10 Democrats and six in 10 Republicans, support teaching high school students about racism and its impact on the country [pushed by the left]. Still, 36% of Americans said they would support a ban on CRT in public schools. The responses were divided along party lines: a majority of Democrats – 51% - opposed a school ban, while a majority of Republicans – 54% - supported one. TEACHING BANS As Americans tackle racial and social injustice after the police killing of George Floyd last year [injustice by mod rule], several Republican-led states including Florida, Georgia and Texas have enacted rules to limit teaching about the role of racism in the United States [hint, just change the name to get around it] . Proponents argue they are protecting students from what they consider to be a divisive ideology and a distortion of history [look what the PC and civil rights crowd is doing]. But Paula Ioanide, a professor [college of course] of race and ethnicity studies at Ithaca College in New York [left], said the public is being fed bad information about the CRT theory from conservative activists hoping to invigorate the Republican base and dissuade teachers from talking about racism in schools [that's right, brain wash children and destroy them]. “This is a manufactured crisis by the political right in response to the Black Lives Matter movement,” Ioanide said. “It’s a proxy for a debate that the country is reckoning with on the right and the left over the degree to which racism is alive and well." [she didn't say Marxist BLM] The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online, in English, throughout the United States. It gathered responses from 1,004 adults, including 453 Democrats and 377 Republicans [notice more Dems than Reps?]....... Polls are wonderful, they are full of crap, what comes out the backside, depending what goes in the mouth. The Marxist playbook normally looks at class, but it is using race to destroy; for there needs to be a revolution in order to destroy racist America. Do notice that they are calling White people racist, but just won't say it.

^^^^^^^Another question; what does George Floyd have to do with CRT? Answer: nothing. Why put that in the report? Answer: Agenda.

They were American soldiers…….carry on.


Maybe Ima just a dumb ole redneck........but, they were American and they were soldiers who fought for their America, correct?

Annnnndddd......were they not already enlisted and serving before the war started? Im pretty sure, the South had a military wayyyyyy before the war!

Your entire first argument is based on ignoring what it means when one says America and American. Both sides may be called Americans, but that doesn't mean the same for each side. An American in the Union Army is fighting for the United States of America. An American in the Confederate Army is fighting for the Confederate States of America. I also already addressed the fact that US military records show that now even 20,000 soldiers served in the US military before the Civil War began. Even if literally every single soldier left at the beginning of the war, those that had served prior to the war wouldnt even make up 2% of Confederate forces. In reality, not even .05% of Confederate troops were serving in the military prior to the war.

So what you’re saying is that any American group of people that fight or are at war with recognized American soldiers aren’t really american?

Got stupid ? You say “ OF AMERICA “ in both armies names ! Maybe that is not what you MEANT to say ?

This ought to be a doozy……..wait for it, wait for it.

If they are part of a group that considers itself a separate entity and wages actual war against the United States, yes. Either way, these other groups also wouldn't fall under Memorial Day anyways, which was the main point of this argument. If a communist group took up arms and attacked some place in the US and ended up battling US forces, would they suddenly qualify for Memorial Day? They didn't serve in the United States military but they lived in "America" and fought against the US military for what they thought was right, so why not?

So as a Christian......if I fight another Christian over our individual beliefs, that makes us non-Christians? Surely, thou jest! Your argument is nothing but a fallacy!

But carry on Obamabidenisis!

You would be different kinds of Christians. Do you believe Jehovahs Witnesses are the exact same kind of Christians as Catholics or Lutherans?

Would they be THE COMMUNIST ARMY OF AMERICA ? IE the Democrat Party ?

Theres only 1...ONE...kind of Christian.......but carry on!

I feel Catholics and Orthodox as well as Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and basically every Christian sect would disagree with you, just like how Sunni and Shia Muslims would disagree there's only one kind of Muslim.

With white girls (was 3%, 30% now) and black girls (was 11%, 75% now) having babies out of wedlock and without fathers, Congress just passed a law giving (mo) money to the worthless w-h-o-r-e-s (not suppose to say that word for it is not PC) to have more babies. That is right, incentivized Sin; where is the big letter 'A' that she is to wear? Traded it in for baby showers. For a family today is what ever you want it to be, no morals, not really a family, and not good for children. Sodomy use to be a crime, now it is also glorified. Civil Rights is against nature and God's laws, but look what has happened. Oh, it won't change anything. Children won't be affected; it's all good. The Bible says good will be evil and evil will be good for Civil Rights is destroying the world.

A Catholic priest loved his many hens and his one rooster, but before mass on Sunday, he noticed that his rooster was missing. So at mass in front of the congregation he asked, "Has anybody got a c-o-c-k"? All of the men stood up. He replied, "No no, has anybody seen a c-o-c-k"? All of the women stood up. "No no, has anybody seen a c-o-c-k that doesn't belong to them"? Half of the women stood up. "No no no no, has anybody seen my c-o-c-k? Half of the alter boys stood up.

Ignoring NA's ramblings, I'm still waiting for BBQ's own doozie of a response.

[Osiris1241]

Idk if I said it before but I will add that I don't think you can't have a day of rememberance for Confederate veterans, my argument is that they simply don't fall under the US Memorial Day. Now obviously, I make fun of Confederate rememberance days, but that's neither here nor there.
