The attempts to justify crap history like Prager U while whine about 1619 Project is simply amazing. They really want the Lost Cause fantasy that champions white supremacy. Fortunately there are enough online sites that can help parents teach their children historical truth. Conservatives will be our natural enemies, passing Prager U as accurate.
Edit to add:
The telltale sign is the need to deflect. They utter nonsense like whites did not “invent” slavery as bleated out by docile Negro Candice Owens. No one argues that slavery was invented by whites. Zora Neal Hurston interviewed the last survivor of the Last slave ship that came to the Unites States. He was originally captured by warriors (male and female) from the kingdom of Dahomey. The Dahomey warriors were depicted in a recent film starring Viola Davis. Conservatives have such contempt for us that they feel we are too stupid to know history. They trot out disgusting people like Candace Owens and, until recently, Diamond & Silk.
They tell s to trust words put on paper by a committee put together by a man who tried to build his political career on being anti-Woke. We all know Woke is the new Black. The only way to fight these people is in the courts. They will never stop their assault on us. They are arrogant people who will never compromise.
Stories like the fate of those in contraband camps were intentionally buried. The same thing happened in NYC when they tried to put office buildings of the burial ground of enslaved people. Only community pushback gave recognition to the burial site.
"Uncle Ruckus had a turbulent childhood as he was raised by the abusive Mister Ruckus. His mother had a self-identity crisis, often praising white people. After being kicked out of his home as a teenager, he traveled to Woodcrest, where he works odd jobs. Ruckus embodies many old American working-class stereotypes: he is crude, short-tempered, obese, rule-neglecting, clumsy, and largely ignorant. He is not good at many things and sometimes considered to be good-for-nothing in general. He is also internally racist, repeatedly proclaiming his love for the white race and disdain for the black race, and he even identifies as Caucasian, saying he suffers from "reverse vitiligo".
Despite this, Ruckus maintains a close relationship with Robert Freeman and yearns for social acceptance. Despite the blue-collar routine of his life, he has had several remarkable experiences, including work as a recording artist.
He has an intense hatred of anything about African Americans and goes out of his way to distance himself from black people, especially those of previous generations. Ruckus claims God says the path to forgiveness for being black is to rebuke one's race. He has a mismatched glass eye due to the beatings he received from his father. Ruckus champions the giant traces of Irish ancestry he claims to have, though a DNA test shows he is "102% African with a 2% margin of error”.
Although Ruckus had a terrible father, the main cause for his personality and view of the world is his mother. Though his mother loved him deeply, she was an extremely deluded and damaged woman who, despite a lifetime of abuse and poor decisions, was convinced that her life would have been better if she had been born white. As a result, Ruckus wishes that all black people were still enslaved or never existed at all. He frequently introduces himself as "Uncle Ruckus, no relation," to indicate that he has no familial connection to the people he is addressing (and because his first name is Uncle).
Ruckus praises white supremacist rhetoric and calls Michael Jackson (who suffered from the pigmentational skin-changing disorder vitiligo) a "lucky bastard" as he doesn't look black. Ruckus claims that he has "re-vitiligo", to explain his skin tone. Ruckus applies a homemade topical ointment of "bleach and sulfur" to treat his self-diagnosed condition, stating that he "likes to think it works" and that it has prevented him from "getting any darker these past few years."
According to a flashback, in his early 20s (20 years old in 1959) he protested against Martin Luther King Jr.'s marches during the civil rights movement and would occasionally throw bricks at King. Another flashback scene shows Ruckus serving on a Tennessee jury in 1957 (making him a minimum of 70 years old in 2009, although this flashback is not consistent with the show's continuity) that helped convince a blind black man of killing three white girls. Despite being blind, the African American man supposedly shot the three with a Winchester rifle from about 50 yards away. Ruckus is the only black person on the otherwise all-white jury in a Jim Crow courtroom. During his first encounter with the Freeman family, Ruckus sings "Don't Trust Them New Niggas Over There" in the pilot episode, though he socializes freely with the Freemans thereafter.
Ruckus constantly hurls hateful racist invective at all things black. On being asked if he supports the use of the word "nigga", Ruckus says:
No, I don't think we should use the word, and I'll tell ya why. Because niggas have gotten used to it, that's why. Hell, they like it now. It's like when you growin' crops and you strip the soil of its nutrients and goodness and then you can't grow anything. You gotta rotate your racist slurs. Now I know it's hard 'cause 'nigga' just rolls off the tongue the way sweat rolls off a nigga's forehead, but we cannot let that be a crutch. Especially when there are so many fine substitutes: spade, porch monkey, jiggaboo. I say the next time you gonna call a darkie a nigga, you call that coon a jungle bunny instead."
What is funny is Prager U being a part of the Florida curriculum is glossed over but it would be death to teach the 1619 Project. Can’t have the darkies having any influence. Only white miseducation programs are allowed. We have to give the former Gitmo lawyer’s program a chance. Forget that he supports Moms For Liberty.
Once you realize the game they are playing you are encouraged when they reject you. You are just an angry Black man. Don’t teach Vesey and Turner, read books about white guys who survived gulags and concentration camps.
Florida school district is now restricting how Shakespeare is taught, for fear of violating the Florida anti-woke school curriculum. Teachers are becoming paranoid. Sounds like nazi Germany.
Conservatives are insane. They are overplaying their hand. Hopefully their authoritarianism will bring voters with opposing viewpoints out in droves. Conservatives are convinced they speak for God. They cherry-pick data and openly lie about the intent of legislation.
Republicans yelled at Liberals who wanted to defund the police, yet here they are arguing to abolish the DOJ Zand the FBI to protect a man who wanted to violate the Constitution. There is no pushback from Republican leaders. When presented with defunding the police Biden/Harris yawned and attempted police reform. Police reform was obstructed by the docile Republican Tim Scott. Republicans do not have the moral authority to lead the country. We have to name the authoritarianism approved by the GOP.
Edit to add:
DeSantis removed two elected state’s attorneys. This is happening in Blue counties. The most recently replaced attorney head an 18% decrease in crime in her district. DeSantis only wants toadies in office. Yo will not hear a peep from Republicans.
I'm okay teaching the 1619 project in advanced high school and college classes if it is done along with other approaches, but my impression is that many supporters of the 1619 project want conservative or traditional perspectives suppressed as being "racist" or "White Supremacist". I'm also okay with students being taught something about Nat Turner's insurrection, though it seems to me that it was hopelessly suicidal.
Monty calls PragerU a "far right-wing cult". I'm not an expert on PragerU, but I have read some of Dennis Prager's writings on the Internet and did not find them far right-wing from my perspective. I note that Dennis Prager (founder of PragerU) is Jewish and grew up in New York City, according to Wikipedia.
I have nothing against Jews. I admire Minister Louis Farrakhan for his "balls", but not his anti-Semitic rhetoric.
Historically Black Colleges/Universities helped to rescue Jewish Scholars before and during WWII, and a number were employed at these institutions. However, the relationship between Jews and blacks has changed since then.
Jews, for the most part, have become more wealthier, more powerful, and more conservative. Let a black news pundit talk about the Palestinians being oppressed and killed by Israeli Jews, and she or he is quickly out of a job. Even the Congressional Black Caucus is very intimidated by powerful Jews when they are in the presence of Minister Louis Farrakhan. That's pathetic. But, Law Professor Amy Wax hanging around with white separatist Jered Taylor and inviting him to her classes isn't a major problem. Lol!
I dated a Jewish woman over a decade ago and ran around with Jews in Los Angeles. I don't remember any advocating for PragerU or extreme right-wing policies. There was one Jew I met online that called me a n*gg*r because I made negative comments about Donald Trump. He has 2 black biracial grandkids. Furthermore, one of his liberal Jewish friends tried to cover him.
I recently ordered and received a book from Amazon, called "The Unspoken Alliance (Israel's Secret Relationship With Apartheid South Africa)" written by Sasha Polalow-Suransky. I haven't started reading it yet, but browsing through it raised my eyebrows.
I've traveled to South Africa twice. The white population continues to own most of the land and wealth. Most of the blacks live in dilapidated shacks with some eating rats to survive.
Israel admitted to using a drug to sterilize female Ethiopian Jews to preserve the white Jewish race and culture. Israel has also deported many African refugees via camps.
The current corrupt Jewish prime Minister of Israel is trying to become a dictator by reducing the power of the Israeli Supreme Court.
This fall, I will be traveling through Israel, Suez Canal, Turkey, Egypt, Oman, Dubai, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
We disagree about Prager U. I do not want my children exposed to their bias. If Prager U is allowed in middle school, there is no rationale to black 1619. The solution is to block Prager U from aces to middle schools.
Conservatives know that. They think we are stupid and know nothing about Dennis Prager. They whine about Hannah-Nikole Jones but will praise Dennis Prager. As I said, the only way to address the situation is to vote every Conservative that you can out of office. They will never seek compromise.
Edit to add:
They will sit back and pretend nothing is happening as Conservatives attempt a coup.
