What good does it do to talk about race?

Yes because the rah rah version of history really tells us all we need to know.

And it doesn’t even have to be about slaves. What James Madison did to set up the finances of the fledgling government was fraud perpetrated against people who fought and bled for the new United States and led directly to the Whiskey Rebellion, for example.

Yes brain cramp- oops!

I’m here for you.

You don’t think empathy “gets you anything” in the real world?

No. It’s fake.

Empathy is not fake, and it gets you a lot.

Unless of course you mean feeling empathy itself can arise for “selfish” reasons.

Empathy is fake. You can’t begin to understand a black man. Or even me.

It’s just virtue signaling.

It took Texas untill 2020 to teach slavery was the cause of the Civil War.

Not true.

I was taught it in the 60s, in Texas.

Democrats don’t want bigger government, they want better government. The size is irrelevant.

Horse feathers, to you too?

Central government. Kill federalism.

Oh yes I was. And it was about state’s “rights” - to own people.

What did Lincoln say?

It’s real…100% complete understanding isn’t required.

And it is far from “virtue signalling”.

[JayJay]

Reconstruction wasn’t trying to kill federalism either.

But if one believes that, once can see that more teaching about what actually went on during Reconstruction might be in order.

Since as part of the means of keeping blacks in their place for a hundred years, Reconstruction had to be taught as being “an evil time”.

“To own people” was not taught in Texas until a few years ago.
