listening to the best of majority report--a new Christian text book in the
Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 03:46 PM by Nikepallas
school system that have re-written history and basically said that African-American slaves actually had it good in those day.

Where the heck can I find this piece of junk so I can warn my friends.

1. Glad to hear this...
in Cincinnati, there was an ugly anti-Gay campaign, and sadly, many African-Americans ministers and their followers went along with it. Now they can see the true face of the freaks they joined sides with.

2. Glad I can help now if we can get a hold of that book in someway and
get enough excerpts to outrage people enough to take action.

4. The success whitey has had dividing up the others is astonishing.....
Blacks n poor whites, blacks n Jewish folks, blacks n gays, sheesh...

Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the OP, concerning the evil associated with anti-black, pro-slavery attitudes....

3. i believe that one is in use at a couple of christian schools..
...that would be in the Bob Jones mold.

slaves 'lived simple lives' and were cared for well.
there was an uproar but I don't think the school said anything about dropping the books.

should be able to google news that one still.

7. Thank you for the link I will be showing this who is moving down south.
This is frightening stuff. What the effin hell are they saying about the native americans and WW2 in this thing as well.

I think the slave era in this book is just the tip of the iceberg.

Thank you again

9. Are you *intentionally* marginalizing one of the 2 greatest evils....
... perpetrated by the US? (The native american genocide being the other).

Or was it just accidental on your part?

13. Out of all the bad stuff in the book, the pro-slave bit was "only"...
... the tip of the iceberg.

The phrase "the tip of the iceberg" indicates that the *real* iceberg is yet to come. As if to say, if you thought the pro-slavery bit in the book was bad, you ain't seen nuthin....

Or to take it to extremes: "Yah, it prolly ain't such a good idea for us to talk about the nigger race that way, but that's wuddn't nuthin - that's just the tip o the iceberg - this OTHER part ya see...."

Or one more way: How bad to black folks have to be treated before they merit a whole iceberg to themselves, and not just a tip? LOL

14. What I was saying that The worst probably hasn't been even shown
If you go to the link that EricJ placed on the thread you will see some of the examples.


I am not racist in anyway nor do I like the implication. I think it is terrible that it is being re-written as it is.

I really don't know where you are coming from with all of this.

15. I didn't imply that you were anything... that's why I *asked*....
And while I haven't re-read my original question, I vaguely recall that I was passably polite...

16. One might also say...
that by emphasizing "intentionally", you weren't being that polite. Cut the guy some slack. No one could possibly read what you read into it.

8. Next up, Jews in Germany circa 1940 lived simple lives....
....and were actually living off the welfare of the nice German people in camps.

It's only a matter of time.

11. "Yes, there were deaths, but they were mainly due to typhoid epidemics
that German doctors struggled bravely to contain, or British bombing, which killed many ..."


Exactly the revisionist crap that has been peddled for years.
