TwinIon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I find it particularly funny that they're removing the requirement of MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, given how much they love to quote the "content of my character" line. Maybe someone actually did read it and realize he wouldn't have been on their side. Also, between cutting MLK and the requirement to say the KKK is bad, it makes this a lot more transparently racist than I'd expect it to be. I feel like much of the CRT debate, while never done in good faith, at least pretended it was about equality (hence the constant quoting of MLK). I feel like you could have gotten away with cutting Cesar Chavez, Native American history, women's suffrage, an most mentions of any people of color, and at least feigned some plausible deniability about the overt racism of the bill.

Your opinion on BLTs will do your campaign more harm than if you were actually in the KKK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only opinion was that lettuce on sandwiches' is like watering down your liquor. Which, even then, that isn't an opinion, but literal facts. Inform yourself.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 From my understanding, the “acid” those scorpions spray is more of a mild irritant to humans. They aren’t nearly as bad as the murder hornets of 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I've seen some videos and stuff over the last few years that literally try to paint Nathan Bedford Forrest as a "civil rights activist," and it mostly comes from southern brainwashing centers. He very well may have legitimately recanted towards the end of his life, but that was after he founded the KKK and did his absolute damndest to usher in Jim Crow. He has 2 statues in Tennessee, one in Nashville and one in Memphis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
