mr fuflans' family are in GA (not atlanta) and are the most liberal activist progressive types you'd ever want to meet. they're also southern bluebloods. they fight the fight every single day. i am so proud of them. (i say this from my blue redoubt here in Chi because i am not that brave...).

it is important for me to remember that there are like minded people everywhere.

also: can somebody punch a nazi?

Ugh..You might hate me for this:

All racism is racism, even if its positive. White history month is just as racist as black history month regardless of what subjective or objective connotations you may ascribe to them.

Just sayin

They are just saying that for now. Really, they believe in their power and dominance by any means.

If we had liberals winning the elections, they would go all "Constitution" and "States Rights"

What about red, yellow, and brown history?

Can't we just have the history of Homo sapian's instead?

You forget...its supposed to be what ever they say it is.

Facts are what ever they say because the "winners" define what facts are.

They will not accept an impartial account

12 months. Most of black history month focuses on people who fought white oppression honestly. How does this exclude white people? I'm sure the apologists would love to pretend there was a solitary white man pulling the strings, but it was the mindset of white Americans that had to be changed as much as it was for black Americans to fight the status quo.

You can always punch a Nazi. The question is who will condemn you and who will applaud you.

White history as viewed by the Westboro Baptist Church has a horrid possibility of becoming official if Trump supporters have their way.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Is heartsick appropriate? Any person who's a rabid bat from the caverns of ignorance suits Donald Trump, as a choice to make powerful in American education. The process of destroying it, that is.

If Betsy deVos is a Christian, and Pat Robertson too, the words "Christian" and "civilization" don't belong in the same sentence.
