I do appreciate how quickly toaster went from defending CRT and claiming it was a good way to understand US history to now saying that it's not even taught in public schools. The way he just seamlessly rolls from one DNC talking point to the next is really a sight to behold.

Far-Right Extremist Finds an Ally in an Arizona Congressman https://www.yahoo.com/news/far-extremist-finds-ally-arizona-115207460.html Nick Fuentes, the leader of a white nationalist group, was bemoaning the political persecution he said he was facing from the federal government when he paused during a recent livestream to praise one of his few defenders. "There is some hope, maybe, for America First in Congress,” Fuentes said, referring to the name of his movement, a group that aims to preserve white, Christian identity and culture. "And that is thanks to — almost exclusively — to Rep. Paul Gosar.” Gosar, a five-term Republican and dentist from Prescott, Arizona, emerged this year as a vociferous backer of the "Stop the Steal” movement that falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election and spearheaded the rally in Washington on Jan. 6 that led to the deadly Capitol riot.

No. Brainwashing an entire generation with CRT insanity through the public school union is FAR more disgusting than some rando on Twitter liking a congressman.

July 6, 20214 yr Tom Cotton describes slavery as a 'necessary evil' in bid to keep schools from teaching 1619 Project US Senator Tom Cotton defends slavery remarks A Republican state representative in Louisiana is drawing attention for comments he made about slavery during a recent committee meeting over legislation he introduced that aimed to prohibit the teaching of so-called divisive concepts in schools in the state, including the idea that the country is "systematically racist.” In footage of the moment that has been picking up traction online, state Rep. Ray Garofalo Jr. (R) suggested there was "good” to slavery at one point while discussing his legislation during the meeting Ten conservatives who have praised slavery Republican Rep. Jon Hubbard is the latest to deem it a blessing. His position is not as uncommon as you'd think By MARK HOWARD https://www.salon.com/2012/10/12/ten_conservatives_who_have_praised_slavery/
July 6, 20214 yr 1. Pat Buchanan. In his essay "A Brief for Whitey,” Buchanan suggested that slavery was a net positive, saying that,“America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.” 2. & 3. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. Bob Vander Plaats, the leader of the arch-conservative Family Leader, a religious organization that opposes same-sex marriage, got GOP presidential candidates Bachmann and Santorum to sign his pledge asserting that life for African-Americans was better during the era of slavery: "A child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President.” 4. Art Robinson. Robinson was a publisher and a GOP candidate for congress in Oregon. One of the books he published included this evaluation of life under slavery: "The negroes on a well-ordered estate, under kind masters, were probably a happier class of people than the laborers upon any estate in Europe.” 5. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. Peterson is a conservative preacher who articulated this bit of gratitude: "Thank God for slavery, because if not, the blacks who are here would have been stuck in Africa.” 6. David Horowitz. Horowitz is the president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and edits the ultra-conservative FrontPage magazine. In a diatribe against reparations for slavery, Horowitz thought this argument celebrating the luxurious life of blacks in America would bolster his case: "If slave labor created wealth for Americans, then obviously it has created wealth for black Americans as well, including the descendants of slaves.” 7. Wes Riddle. Riddle was a GOP congressional candidate in Texas with some peculiar conspiracy theories on a variety of subjects. His appreciation for what slavery did for African Americans was captured in this comment: "Are the descendants of slaves really worse off? Would Jesse Jackson be better off living in Uganda?” 8. Trent Franks. Franks is the sitting congressman for the second congressional district in Arizona. As shown here, he believes that a comparison of the tribulations of African Americans today to those of their ancestors in the Confederacy would favor a life in bondage: "Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery.” 9. Ann Coulter. Known for her incendiary rhetoric and hate speech, Coulter was right in character telling Megyn Kelly of Fox News that, "The worst thing that was done to black people since slavery was the great society programs." 10. Rep. Loy Mauch. This Arkansas GOP state legislator has found biblical support for his pro-slavery position. He wrote to the Democrat-Gazette to inquire, "If slavery were so God-awful, why didn’t Jesus or Paul condemn it, why was it in the Constitution and why wasn’t there a war before 1861?" There is an almost palpable nostalgia among some conservatives for a bygone era wherein they could sip mint juleps under the magnolias while the fields were tended to by unpaid lackeys. And it isn’t a vague insinuation. Mitt Romney supporter Ted Nugent declared, "I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War.” No one should regard it as a coincidence that so much of this racist animus has surfaced during the term of the first African-American president of the United States. It’s one thing to harbor such offensive racial prejudices privately, but when people in public life are comfortable enough to openly express opinions like these, it reveals something of the character of their movement. And what’s worse is that conservative and Republican leaders, given the opportunity, refuse to repudiate the remarks. Mitt Romney has stated that all he’s concerned about is getting 50.1% of the vote, and if that means tolerating appeals to racist voters in order to attain his goal, then it’s just a part of the process.

July 6, 20214 yr 23 minutes ago, TEW said: Nah, toaster is legitimately in denial while DaveMoss is a true believer subversive. I think part of the problem is that people who actually know what CRT is and work in education know it’s not being taught. Because it’s grad level material.
July 6, 20214 yr Lawmaker suggests there were two sides to history of slavery CHEYENNE – A freshman Wyoming legislator suggested Wednesday that there are two sides to the history of American slavery, and that Black Americans are "stuck” in a mentality he called "worse than slavery itself.” So slavery needs to be discussed,” he added. "It needs to be brought forward and the different views, that slavery was not maybe what it has been painted as in this nation, completely.” At an anti-mask rally at the Wyoming Capitol earlier this winter, Haroldson compared statewide mask orders to the Holocaust, telling an interviewer "today it’s masks and mandates, tomorrow it’s rail cars and ovens.”
July 6, 20214 yr White Washing Slavery out in the open. GOP lawmaker says Three-Fifths Compromise was created to end slavery Rep. Justin Lafferty, R-Knoxville, praised a pro-slavery compromise that was reached during the nation’s Constitutional Convention in 1787 and classified that three-fifths of a state’s slave population could be counted toward its total population when apportioning taxes and states’ representation in Congress. "Conversations around race are always very uncomfortable in the Tennessee legislature. Rep. Lafferty’s statement about how the Three-Fifth Compromise was designed to end slavery was alarming, but the real insult was when the House Republicans clapped for him when he finished his diatribe,”
