The books conservatives don't like are books that support Orwellian rewrites of history, like the 1619 project. For example, saying that slaves built America is factually false. Slaves were never more tha 20% of the American population. There weren't enough of them to build America on their own. Plenty of other folks worked hard to build America.
Another example is the basic fact that in 1619 there were no slavery laws in place in Virginia, or any other British Colony in North America. The slaves in 1619 were sold as servants indentured for 14 years.
The real racists belong to the party that fights charter schools in cities they control, so they can get political contributions from teachers' unions. They prefer teachers' unions contributions to educated black children. The real racists are the party who won't pick up the garbage in Baltimore's black neighborhoods. The real racists are always talking about race, because they haven't given minorities any real reason to vote for Democrats. The party that is constantly race baiting minorities to get votes are the real racists.
Nice try. The books that Conservatives are removing from shelves are books about Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron,etc.Teachers and librarians are afraid to place books about Black history on the shelves. Your attempt at misdirection will not work.
You talk about garbage when two Republican Governors have poisoned Black citizens in their states.
There is a constant Conservative whine about the 1619 Project yet not a word about Lost Cause history texts still being in classrooms. When history is written to fit a truer version of events, Conservatives whine that their feelings are hurt and cry CRT.
Blacks are not focused on race. Blacks complain about racial issues because white Conservatives do things like attempting to suppress votes in majority Black areas. We know the hearts of Conservatives. We will not be silent as Conservatives attack us.
Conservatives love Trump, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene. We are laughing at the convictions of 4 Proud Boys. Proud Boys are best buds with MTG.
Please provide some book titles that have been banned. Please provide names, dates ad states of the governors you accuse of poisoning blacks. Please provide titles of history books that justify secession as the "lost cause" and states where they're used. IOW, put up or…
Asking for voter ID ain't voter suppression. Having over 50% of voting machines in heavily Republican Maricopa County fail on election day, 2022 because they were "accidentally" set up wrong is voter suppression.
It's interesting that you don't seem to care about rotten inner city schools, as you blithely ignore them in your response. Further, the systemic racism in a most all big American cities was set up but the Democrats who have run then for decades. For example, the last Republican mayor of Chicago left office in 1931.
Why is the left obssessed with race? The explanation is identity voting. If you vote your identity, bad governance is irrelevant. It doesn't change your identity. So you keep voting your identity, even though the government gets worse and worse. If you're convinced your identity means you vote for leftist Democrats, you continue to vote for leftist Democrats, regardless of how bad they do in governing.
Typical Conservative gibberish. If no books are being banned, why are teachers suing the state of Florida and DeSantis? I named some of the books. Republicans in multiple states want to cut education funding. The Republicans in Missouri wanted to defund public libraries.
Regarding poisoning, Google Flint and Jackson
So-called identity voting is because Republicans are so vile. Conservatives are the biggest gift the Democrats receive.
Why are you not confronting the racists in the GOP? They are are big reason Republicans don’t appeal to Black voters.
Republicans are supporting a guy who had to shut down a university and a charity because they were frauds. He is also on trial for rape. Conservatives argue that Clarence Thomas is more moral than President Obama, even as we see Thomas rake in money while refusing to recuse himself from cases with a conflict of interest.
Republicans ran Herschel Walker. It is starting to appear that he is a money grabber like Clarence Thomas.
Conservatives are hilarious.
Edit to add:
What is tiresome about discussions with Conservatives is that they repeatedly disparage Democrats. They never argue about how well Blacks are doing in Republican led states. Because they are not. On a national level, Republicans want to cut education funding in a way that would impact low-income children. They will the blame Democratic mayors for poor outcomes.
You named no books. You named some subjects, that's all. You were as vague as possible.
Flint, MI,and Jackson, MS, are both cities being sued for lead in their water. The states ain't involved. Both cities have now, and have had, Democrats for mayors. Michigan has a Democrat governor as well, Gretchen Whitmer.
Your comments on conservatives are fact free emotion. Trump is being sued in civil court for a rape that allegedly happened almost 20 years ago. He's not being tried criminally for rape. The rest of your allegations have no supporting evidence. Using your standard of evidence, there's ample evidence of cheating in the 2020 election. If we're using the Democrats' 2020 election standard of evidence, that it has to have been accepted in a court of law, you have no evidence.
I argue how poorly blacks are doing in Democrat run cities. You have no counter argument at all. You simply ignore the lousy schools, high crime, unemployment and the corruption of Democrat run cities. You blame Republicans for Flint and Jackson, even though Democrats are responsible.
It's a fact that black unemployment hit an modern low under Trump. It's gotten higher since he left office, due to Biden's policies.
Your article on textbooks is 6 years old. It refers to books and teaching that are even older. They have most likely changed. However, it's hard to call your ancestors totally guilty. I grew up in Montana and Illinois. I would imagine you don't know that Henry Plummer was the Sherriff of Bannock, MT, who built a gallows as a warning to the outlaw band that had killed over 100 people in the gold fields around Bannock and Virginia City, MT, in the fall and winter of 1863. You probably also don't know that vigilantes hung him on his own gallows in January,1864, because he was the leader of the gang. This was described in my grade school textbooks as a good thing, because the rest of the country was too busy with the Civil War to care about law and order in Montana at that time. The people had no other choice. I'm sure you're appalled. A federal judge arrived in the spring of 1864 and the vigilante activity stopped. FYI, all victims and perpetrators were white.
For Democrats, the only black lives that matter are the 18 or so that are killed by police every year. The hundreds shot as a result of defunding the police don't matter to Democrats at all. The Democrats are the party of slavery, secession, the KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, poll taxes and literacy tests. You would think with that history, they deserve close scrutiny, but you don't give them any.
No further comment on Flint or Jackson. No further comment on patronage schools in Democrat run inner cities. I don't deal with Democrat propaganda sites like WaPo. My statement and their statement ain't mutually exclusive, although their statement probably requires new definitions of unemployment. I too am tired of dealing with your organic fertilizer of bovine origin with excessive masculinity. As a source of emotional racial hatred against whitey, you're tops. Facts, not so much.
The other blessing that benefits Democratic Party members is when Conservatives attack with arrogance and ignorance. Why would anyone want to be in a party that includes people like you? Black voters don’t go to the polls looking for Superman. Black voters go to the polls to keep people like you from having any influence in their lives.
We see you as people full of anger and fear. A teenager knocks on the door and you shoot him in the head. A man on a subway has a mental breakdown. He poses no physical danger. You take pride in choking him to death.
Black voters will make sure that our families survive and thrive. Even if the racist conman Trump is re-elected, we will survive. What the majority will never do is join a party that makes excuses for racists.
Byron Donalds appears physically as a strong Black male. The GOP reduced him to a prop during the Speaker vote. He was reduced to the level of “Samuel” from the movie “Django”. Most of us are not willing to lower ourselves to his level just to be on the same side of the aisle as Republicans.
Your characterization of me is pure prejudice, since you don't know me. My sister in law, is the best thing that ever happened to my little brother. My wife and I love taking joint vacations with them. She also happens to be black.
It's ironic that blacks vote reflexively for Democrats, given that the Republican party was founded to fight slavery. I know that because members of my family, on both sides, were abolitionist Republicans in the 1850's. On my dad's side, my grandmother's grandfather and great grandfather were Kansas Red Legs, who fought for abolition before the Civil War even started. On my mom's side, my grandmother's grandfather, a Methodist Minister, preached abolition in Virginia in the 1850's.
Democrats are so racist that they say every black Republican is a token. Sen. Tim Scott (R, SC) writes Republican tax and police reform legislation. Rep. Byron Donalds was on of the conservative leaders in the fight to make Speaker McCarthy reform House rules. Justice Clarence Thomas is a great legal mind that leads the fight for originalism on the Supreme Court. Democrats say all of these blacks are "Uncle Toms" for disagreeing with Democrats. That's racist.
You've had plenty of opportunity to respond to the mess that Democrats have made of the areas they control, particularly the urban black areas. You've ignored all of it, because you'd rather hate Republicans than solve problems.
As a Republican, I don't hate Democrats. I just would prefer to have the Constitution and the rule of law left in force, including the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The best way to stop discrimination by race is to stop discriminating by race.
This 2023. Republicans are now the party providing aid and comfort to racists like the Proud Boys. Republicans cannot fall back on the past. I disagree with the politics of Donald and Thomas. I would never call Thomas and Donald Uncle Toms. Uncle Tom was a hero. If I were going to use a name for Thomas and Donald, it would be Sambo. Most of the disagreements with Black Conservative is about policy. I disagree with policies.
You appear to ignore the financial dealings of Justice Thomas. I do not consider him an honorable man. I would say President Obama is the more honorable of the two.
You ranted about Black unemployment. Biden has low Black unemployment numbers. Feel free to continue your disjointed rant. I find it amusing.
You have not given a concrete reason for Black voters to support a Republican Party that suppresses Black votes and defunds education. Keep trying to distract.

The rape case is civil, as you well know
The Black unemployment rate under a Democratic President is historically low
Black unemployment has never before been this close to White unemployment
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/05/unemployment-white-black/
The textbooks are still in classrooms
I don’t have the time or inclination to deal with the rest of your nonsense
