uhm, despite the lack of Hitler statues in Germany, which happened, among other reasons, because people didn't want to look at that shit anymore, nobody has forgotten about WWII and the Holocaust.
that's one of the dumber lines of argument I've heard in my life.
Man, when I was in senior public and high school, my friends and I would warn each other if there was a news article or TV segment about D&D so we could keep our parents from seeing it. I had to lie and say I was playing Clue when I hung out with my friends for a gaming session. My one friend's mom flushed his dice down the toilet. We once had a prayer group from the local evangelical church conduct a prayer circle around us to rid us of the evil spirits we conjured while playing. It was exhausting. Now, it's mainstream.
They'll whine about it to their grandchildren, I'm sure:
"Little Timmy, I've brought you here today because I need to tell you a story. You see, when I was your age, this statue of George Washington Carver--a man responsible for helping to save the South from the long term ecological damages of monocrop agriculture--wasn't here. In its place was a statue honoring another man. A white man, actually. A white man whose only claim to fame was attempting to force the Union to allow our state to secede, so other white men like him could own black men like George Washington Carver as if he weren't a fellow human being with the same rights. I have to take up five minutes of your time to tell you about this, because mean people who don't understand that it's okay to honor history's villains made the city take it down. As a result, only I remember that statue the white man, standing proud, looking thoughtfully off in the distance almost as if he were a noble example of our culture, instead of someone who probably fantasized daily about how much pleasure he derived from abusing his female slaves."
And like Little Timmys everywhere since the dawn of time, they'll say something like "oh wow" and then go back to playing MarioKart on their Nintendo Switch 82.5
I would like Melissa to explain all that as well! Sweet summer child, Melissa... However, I grew up in Irving, Texas and honestly? I'm just impressed she switched from trump to Biden. That's real progress out there!
Irving now has one of the largest concentrations of refugees (not asylum seekers) in the state so that may have helped a bit. but there were also a lot of split tickets in that area.
Really? That's so encouraging to hear. I haven't been back there in years (all my family living there has passed away) but I'd always hoped it would get more progressive. It was just really really RED there in the 70s-90s. Thanks so much for the insight!
I'm not sure how progressive it is yet. there's still some struggle because the white assholes think they need to patrol the sidewalk in front of the mosque with assault rifles. once more of the legal residents become naturalized citizens, then I think things could change.

Was he any relation to General Jubilation T. Cornpone, leader of Cornpone's Craven Retreat?
who woulda thunk that "mosquito park" would be preferable to the alternative?

Bill Maher is still around? He didn't disappear about the same time Camille Paglia and Zima beverage and Ally McBeal did?

The problem was the happy slave frame narrative. And that it's a very specifically African American oral tradition contributes to its erasure.
