romad1 Posted Sunday at 02:39 AM Posted Sunday at 02:39 AM Trump is a malignant narcissist so he's not going to care about a "democrat city" being destroyed. Hegseth is a drunk so its 50/50 he shows up to work and even less likely he has any idea about how the Department of ...jesus christ....War operates. The various supporting players are Stephen Miller, and his ilk so the best case scenario is they are grifting off the nuclear attack or somehow to advantage their white power plans. 1 Quote
CMRivdogs Posted Sunday at 01:28 PM Posted Sunday at 01:28 PM Soon they will be issuing white sheets to members of the military. Thread Quote One of the two panels described how a million African-Americans volunteered for service during World War II, but had to fight against both the enemy and racism on their own side, including segregation within the army itself that confined many to supporting roles. One of those roles was burying the dead, a highly traumatic duty as many of the bodies were severely mutilated. The cemetery was constructed by the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, an all-Black unit of 260 men under the command of a White officer (as was usual). The site of the cemetery was established by Captain Joseph Shomon, the head of the 611th Graves Registration Company, while the task of digging it and burying the bodies was given to the 960th QMSC during September-November 1944.First Sergeant Jefferson Wiggins oversaw the work. He later recalled that when the men arrived, they were confronted with the sight of thousands of dead bodies lying on a tarp. There were no coffins, so the bodies had to be tied up in mattress covers where the men dug graves. Theo Bovens, the chairman of the Black Liberators in the Netherlands foundation and also leader of the conservative Christian Democratic Appeal party, says that he intends to raise the removal with the new US Ambassador to the Netherlands, Joe Popolo. He calls the lack of attention paid to Black liberators "truly insufficient," and notes: "Approximately 12.5 percent of the American liberators were of African-American descent." His organisation had campaigned for their recognition, which had been lacking for decades. He says: "In March, a complaint against the [American Battle Monuments Commission] appeared on the website of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative American think tank." / "[The memorial] allegedly evaded Trump's executive order to halt policies promoting diversity and inclusion." /end History hurts, so called conservatives a hell bent on white washing it 1 Quote

Thread History hurts, so called conservatives a hell bent on white washing it I've been amused by the thought of a new High School in Western Fairfax (at this time called "western High School") which was previously owned by the Saudi government and named the King Abdullah Academy. NOVA has a local rep trying to name it after an Indian astronaut which...on brand for NOVA for sure but not really sure there is an Indian US citizen who has made it to naming a high school territory. I was going to push for these names: William Tecumseh Sherman HS Ulysses S. Grant HS Jamal Kashoggi HS (Team name: The Bone Saws) Abraham Lincoln HS Edited Sunday at 01:52 PM by romad1 Quote

Someone else can do the same thing and they are bad bad bad. Its all about what you want slant against the President Trump.

Statues and memorials are not about preserving history. They are about honoring historical persons and events. Take down the statues of Confederate traitors to the United States and the historical accounts of them are still available to peruse in any number of other sources. People who support memorials for Confederate traitors while opposing memorials to pioneering fighting forces of color are telling us everything we need to know about them. 3 3 Quote

Am sure you agree, but this may be part of why conservatives fight the statue thing so hard: having to deal with the actual historical accounts requires being confronted with the morality (or lack therof) of the southern cause. Have been reading Ron Chernow's biography of Ulysses Grant so this subject is top of mind. 1 Quote

Pretty sure when this subject was more prominent in 2020, I asked it then as well... and didn't get much of a response from Stanpapi or whoever was engaging at the time. European countries aren't perfect and have their own internal issues, but if one has ever been to any of them, one realizes that they didn't just preserve the statues of the losers and (often) evil figures of their history. Certainly didn't see any statues from the Third Reich while traveling in Germany some eight years ago, for instance. This whole "statues as history" thing is primarily an American phenomena and, IMO, a way to avoid having to grapple with the moral implications of the actual historical record. It's both cowardly and a factor in why everything is *gesture's hands wildly* the way that it is right now. 1 1 Quote
mtutiger Posted Sunday at 06:10 PM Posted Sunday at 06:10 PM As an aside, note how quickly Archie pivoted to "whatabouting" the removal of a monument to black soldiers dying on behalf of our country in WWII. It's not a defensible action and he knows it. But under no circumstances shall the Trump administration be criticized, apparently Quote
