I'm going to ramble a bit, but it will hopefully come around to something. When I was growing up, I read a lot of older historical book series, a big one would be the Little House On The Prairie series. While I really enjoyed it, there are some very obviously negative portrayals of Native Americans and African Americans. I remember being angry about it as a kid, and my Dad telling me, that part of learning about history is that we have to acknowledge the people we were, and still are. But because Little House on the Prairie is only semi-autobiographical, I still have mixed feelings about this. I do think they are well written books by a female author, an interesting perspective on early American life, and as an adult I can see and acknowledge the issues with the text. If we try to get rid of every author with racist ideas there wouldn't be much left to read from the 20th Century, and it also feels like being dishonest about who we are. So, I'm very mixed, how do you all feel about it? Do you think children can handle books with racial issues like this if it's explained to them? What is our responsibility here?

@RickiTarr I think it is important that children learn about negative attitudes that some folks have and also to learn why they are negative and how and when to combat and correct those attitudes when they come across them.

Republicans and Democrats are unified in the belief that Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians don't matter and deserve to die -- unless they're super rich and selling us oil, that is, like the Saudis.

@gwynnion I remember when it wasn’t hamas but rather the PLO. Same story though.

@MichaelPorter @lauren how did Jacques Cousteau pronounce it?

DanadasGrau,
@DanadasGrau@mastodon.social avatar

@MichaelPorter @lauren I am 59. I just took up pronouncing it as it was originally pronounced. It was only recently that I learned that younger people were using the hard g pronunciation and vehemently insisting they were correct and everyone should pronounce it that way. Seriously, this is what you wanna argue about?

@itty53 @GreenFire @lednaBM so if I read you right, it is ok for the organized religions to spread their lies and poison, but for others to counter with reason and facts is a step over the line. They are the problem. Is this what you are saying?

Can Big Journalism connect some dots please?

Trump vows to effectively nationalize local police into a migrant deportation force -- stopping people on the street and herding millions into concentration camps, supposedly before dropping them off somewhere south of the border.

That's grotesque, and terrible, in every way.

But you are naive if you imagine that this national cops squad would be disbanded, or the concentration camps closed, after the mass deportations.

Vote.

@dukepaaron @jeffowski I did not delete anything . I am not pretending anything. I only responded to the question posed. How about you? Do you see a pattern? Tell me your take. I thought mine was a plausible conclusion based on the evidence cited. Cited form the same tome. My response obviously was a reference to the Lot story, from that same book. It is my understanding that book was written by Jews. I mean if I am wrong about any of that feel free to correct me.

Not a fan of Colin Jost. As one of the head writers, he has ruined SNL.

With that said, he does have a unique way of turning a flat joke around, the way he acknowledges the failed joke.

For that, I have to give him credit.

He did a decent job at the WHCD, said some great things about Biden and about the current state of affairs of the US but I wouldn't pay to see his act.

@wdlindsy is there a lawful, legal way to remove a despicable, evil, lying, bought and paid for, corrupt as fuck Supreme Court justice from the bench, or are we relegated to hoping for a natural or illegal means to be rid of them?

@wdlindsy yeah that made no sense to me. “Hey how about we risk putting a lying piece of shit sociopath in the Whitehouse because he starred in a Tv show and Hillary seems mean.” This is what passes for rational thought for a large swath of humans.

In other "news" Tucker Carlson went on "The Rogan Experience" and denied that evolution by means of natural selection explained the diversity & history of living things on earth.

Said there was "no evidence" humans could have evolved "from a single cell organism"

It's impossible to know if he's just saying this for attention.

I've always said science would be next. Tucker is the vanguard of the far right. Give it five years and you'll have congress members wanting this in your schools.

@shekinahcancook @futurebird I was just reading that a rep. named Pratt got a bill though the KY house to loosen state child labor restrictions. His angle was to help young people earn money for college or what not, in fact Rep. Pratt owns a landscaping business. Obviously he just wants to exploit child labor to save a buck. Evil is as evil does. And these evil fuckwits have the gall to call themselves Christians.

@alkeddie that is evil and fucked up. Question: I am no expert or anything, but doesn’t the Jews very religion speak of how god punished them from time to time for doing evil shit. Imposed diasporas and what not. Even Moses was barred entry into Jerusalem because he fucked up. Why is it that they don’t see racism, committing genocide and ethnic cleansing as something god wouldn’t be cool with?

@alkeddie I am quicker to believe in fairies that that giant load of rubbish anyway. I am just curious if isreal has as many fake ass Jews as the U.S. has fake ass Christians. You know the ones who are only devout when it is convenient, when they wanna use it as a cudgel to abuse others.
