Rewriting history is both stupid and dishonest

[cv5]

History is preserved in statues, monuments, and memorials. Since the anarchists are tearing them all down, defacing, and destroying them, what do you think will be the outcome?

Even the Lincoln Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Solider have been defaced. And here you are trying to argue with me. As to the textbooks, they have been presenting revisionist history also. The very fact every American institution and value are under attack means that there are people bent on destroying America altogether. America itself will become "history" if someone in DC does not wake up and do something.

"Every record has been destroyed, every book rewritten, every statue and street building has beenrenamed... nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right..." - George Orwell, 1984.

We are indeed in deep trouble at this critical moment in history people.

The anarchists (of whatever stripe) in America and the Western world are now trying to rewrite history by destroying all the statues and monuments (including defacing the Monument of the Unknown Soldier), wherever they are located. And the cowardly, feckless, self-serving Western politicians are simply standing by with their mouths open, and doing absolutely nothing.

Even the Founding Fathers of America have been attacked, while Congress, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Judiciary have all stood by and watched the savages perpetrate their savagery and vandalism. The next thing to be trampled underfoot and burned to the ground will be the American flag (wherever it flies) as well as the Constitution. The enemies of America (who are legion) must be simply laughing their heads off. But they must also be noting that Americans now HATE America – the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The cold, hard fact is that history cannot be rewritten. Every country in the world was either a conqueror or the conquered, and it went back and forth. And there is absolutely no ethnic group which has not been racist.

Blacks in the past have been racist against other blacks as seen in the Rwandan genocide: “During the Rwandan genocide of 1994, members of the Hutu ethnic majority in the east-central African nation of Rwanda murdered as many as 800,000 people, mostly of the Tutsi minority. .. By the time the Tutsi-led Rwandese Patriotic Front gained control of the country through a military offensive in early July, hundreds of thousands of Rwandans were dead and 2 million refugees (mainly Hutus) fled Rwanda, exacerbating what had already become a full-blown humanitarian crisis.” Both ethnic groups slaughtered each other. The Hutus were black and so were the Tutsis. That did not stop the savages from killing and torturing each other.

So any talk about reparations would have to go all the way back to Cain and Abel. There is not a single country (not even the Native Americans or Indians) in which people were not either killing or enslaving others or being killed and enslaved. And actually reparations for American blacks have been made generously over the last sixty years, and the dollar value would be in the billions (either through Affirmative Action or other social and education programs), But as the saying goes “You give an inch, and they want a yard”.

However, America was founded on the principles that all men are equal, and that there would be liberty and justice for all. No other country was founded on these principles, but there is no question that administration after administration betrayed those principles. And almost all politicians after the Founding Fathers were simply self-serving rascals.

Nonethess, between 1964 and 2020, blacks in America had made tremendous progress and were being accepted as equals throughout the land. The Senate noted this progress as shown below:

"The Economic State of Black America in 2020​

Over the past half-century, Black Americans have made substantial social and economic progress, gaining political rights that long had been denied to them, entering professions from which they had been blocked and largely overcoming centuries of overt racism and oppression. While there were only five Black Members of Congress when the Civil Rights Act became law in 1964, there currently are 56 Black Members of Congress, including 12% of the House of Representatives.

Black activists, scholars, and social commentators have raised awareness about the importance of diversity and shaped the national conversation around race and inequality. There has been a proliferation of Black writers, screenwriters, artists, poets, athletes and musicians who have become superstars in their respective fields. And the 21st century saw the election of the first Black American, Barack Obama, as president of the United States.

Millions of Black Americans also have benefited from the opportunities created by the de jure end of Jim Crow, entering the middle class for the first time, earning undergraduate and advanced degrees, receiving higher wages, achieving professional success and raising children who will build on their achievements. Leading indicators of economic prosperity and other measures of well-being also have trended upward for most of this period, with increased life expectancy, increased household incomes and substantial gains in educational attainment."https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/_...3ba6/economic-state-of-black-america-2020.pdf

Only fools believe that Radical Leftist policies, anarchy, rioting, looting, vandalism, defacement of statutes, monuments, and buildings, will achieve anything (other than hatred for the perpetrators). Yet no one seems to be stepping up, taking charge, quelling the riots, and re-establishing law and order.

I think tribalism best describes the tension between the Tutsis and the Hutus.

Call it what you will. It was blacks slaughtering blacks because of their ETHNICITY.

Yes I agree but why use the word racism instead of tribalism?

 

[1christian1]

I know what you are talking about. The right is creating all these meaningless distractions while all the
time electing 200 republican judges. Giving billionaires a free pass on contributing to America. The media really needs to get over this b.s.! really? 8 day's of new's coverage for one confrontation? I for one would never think of throwing a punch at an officer. I know the consequences. How ever good, bad, right or wrong, they are the law. We need to stay the coarse and get rid of this idiot in office...

Call it what you will. It was blacks slaughtering blacks because of their ETHNICITY.

You go too far brother. If so, why is the police dept getting in on this action? Are they just trying to assist
them in murder? Don't get your point...

Blacks in the past have been racist against other blacks as seen in the Rwandan genocide:

What is really stupid is when one black person like George Floyd gets murderer unjustly, black people take stand but as soon as things calm down again. Nothing changes, black people hate their own kind, if we truly stuck together, then we would not be a ethnic minority.
