Fizzzzle Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Nathan bedford forrest was a great field commander. He was also a white supremacist and the first (and technically only) grand wizard of the KKK. Even if he may have taken back his beliefs towards his death (take that however you will), the job was already done. He accomplished his mission of making sure black people were as close to being slaves as possible. Like imagine if Hitler, on his deathbed, was like "you know, Jews actually aren't that bad after all." Cool, glad you had a change of heart, I'm sure that's a lot of comfort to the millions of dead. Nathan bedford forrest was a traitor, a fascist (before it was cool), and a racist. Being good at commanding troops in battle shouldn't cancel out all that other shit.

Irony aside, the south also suspended habeas corpus, which Lincoln is crucified for. They had a draft. The fact that the confederacy, in any circumstance, gets held up as "free" compared to the united States is something that will always and forever boil my piss. Sherman didn't burn enough.

CayceG Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Farrakhan/Hebrew Israelite stuff. That NOI stuff involves a ton of anti-semitic imagery and tropes. Ice Cube’s Long, Disturbing History of Anti-Semitism WWW.THEDAILYBEAST.COM He’s recently shared anti-Semitic memes, but the rapper and actor Ice Cube also has a history of anti-Semitic lyrics and was even once accused of ordering the beatdown of a rabbi. I understand why it's come to be, and why it's so enticing. But it's still insane, wrong, and harmful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Should have gone with the Spiders. They had a perfectly good name right there. It would have been so easy to charge $30 for some $2 spider plushies in the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Guardians is pretty generic. But it is so much better than Indians with a little red faced cartoon mascot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if eventually people will just take it for granted that a politician said something really racist or inflammatory on the internet at some point.
