We’re not going to discuss what you want to discuss, no matter how much you want it karen.
I’ll wait.
You haven’t read it.
What would you like to discuss? Why in grade and high school, henry Ford’s antisemitism isn’t covered as extensively as his contributions to manufacturing?
not all of it, true. I have read many sections though, prompted by years of people here defending it’s conclusions as not racist.
You haven’t read a word of it.
You know it and I know it.
Troll on, I’ll wait.
With you? Nothing.
Sorry, but that’s not true. Remember Zantax? He loved the Bell Curve. That’s why I read the pertinent sections.
But whatever.
Then stop complaining and get on with your thread.
It’s not at all true.
All in due time. I’ll wait.
For what? You’re not interested in discussing anything with me.
Sure, sure.
It doesn’t take a genius to see that biological males have an advantage over biological females in competitive sports, no matter the treatments.
And combat.
And everything. So what’s new.
Thing is, that was the culture of the day. Judging a past culture (and condemning those who did something anathema to today’s culture) makes for an easy dismissal of anything else those practitioners did.
I truly hope that a future generation of ours will look back at this culture-of-the-day and condemn the abject human rights violation of abortion, but that shouldn’t negate anything good that today’s abortion proponents and practitioners did.
Wu’s point about today’s Public Education System vis-a-vis Henry Ford is that today Ford is cast as evil. In many respects, ditto Jefferson.
Ford was evil.
Yeah, it’s a really interesting topic in that regard.
Somethings are constants - like achievement. Inventing new form of government where the power is with the citizens…that’s an achievement in any era. Some things are variable - morality and norms of the day…Achievements are the rocks in the river, and societal norms are the constantly changing water rushing by them.
I took his post as the opposite. That his complaint was that schools teach kids that Ford is awesome and an american hero, ignoring his antisemitism/pro-nazi beliefs.
Can you equate antisemitism/pro-nazi beliefs to slavery? Are they both just facets of a society of the past? I don’t think they are quite equivient - which is pretty crazy given how abhorrent slavery was.
No. Ignoring his manipulation of the US public education system. Which he did long before the NAZIs existed.
