  1. really?  i didn't know that a school district could ban history.  why would they want to do that? "who controls the present now controls the past.  who controls the past controls the future."-george orwell.

  2. who cares.  the reason why cenk never mentioned this is because its irrelevant.

  3. it's mentioned all of the time.  the topic died out in the 70s.  it used to be the number#1 social justice topic or many years back in the 60s and 70s though.

  4. MrDili4sure its irrelevant because it doesn't represent the democratic party today.  if someone wants to criticize democrats for something then you criticize them for things today and not their policies 100 years ago or even 50 years ago for that matter.

  5. KMC oklahoma is where a lot of my relatives live.  i should ask them about that.

  6. MrDili4sure the original kkk members were typically democrats.  so what?  what are you trying to prove here?  do you think that you have some kind of "i gotcha' or something towards democrats?  let me repeat myself to you.  IT DOESN'T MATTER.  comprende?  why should any registered democrat or politician have to apologize to anyone for some idiots who have been dead for decades?

  7. MrDili4sure you still are making zero sense,  i don't give a fuck what the democratic party does.   i think that you have had several discussions with a few light-weights who consider themselves to be "liberal" and now you are assuming that i am them or think like them.  stop the insane, stereotyping bullshit and talk to me as an individual.  are you capable of that?  i am not a part of a "collective" nor have i been "brainwashed" to think as part of any collective.  once again, tell me how the democratic party from 100 years ago is somehow connected to the democratic party of today or surrender the white flag and submit to the idea that you just lost the debate.  if you don't come up with an answer then you lose the debate.............

  8. MrDili4sure i'm not a democrat.  i'm an independent with progressive leanings.  i see no reason to point out the fact that the democratic party was the party of the south for about 100 years and many of the kkk members were democrats.  it means absolutely nothing today.  like i said, what is the connection of the democratic party then to today's democratic party?  stop projecting your loyalist to a fault feelings on everybody else and start thinking as an individual.  i don't give a fuck about the democratic or republican party and i am not loyal to any of them.  that's your own neurosis that you have to deal with and not mine.  like i asked before, what is the connectio0n between the democratic party of 100 years ago and the democratic party of today?

  9. MrDili4sure i'm not denying it.  i'm just saying its pointless  to mention it because it doesn't represent the democratic party today.  point out the connection to me if there is a connection.

  10. MrDili4sure you are strawmanning and going off topic here is what i'm saying.

  11. MrDili4sure you aren't making no sense at all. you are trying to make connections that don't exist.

  12. flagging all of the towns goes too far though.  that's like researching every german's family tree and making it public record about who and how many past ancestors of theirs was a member of the nazi party and did any of them have any kind of connection to working with or in any of the concentration camps.

  13. that sounds like a good idea.

  14. there is probably some rich people who are making money off it.  that would be my guess.

  15. no just cenk wanting to beat a dead horse.  if anyone thinks that this is a good idea that was presented in this video then i suppose that they might think that it was a good idea to research every german and find out who and how many of their past relatives were members of the nazi party and make that information public too.  what a great idea that would be (sarcasm).

  16. june61999 do you really feel the need to know each and every town that lynched black people for violating race code laws? what good would that do you?  how would you feel if you were to travel through there and pass through those towns?

  17. Indomitable that's because no towns have been flagged yet and no german has had their privacy invaded.  i was saying that it was a bad idea to flag all of the towns and i gave a hypothetical analogy that never has happened to any germans that i know about.

  18. upyall i suppose so.  it still seems like whole towns today and everybody who lives in these towns are going to be vilified if they flag all of these towns on a map though.

  19. i still think that flagging towns that lynched black people in the past is about as bad of an idea as researching every german and making a public record of who and how many relatives from the past were members of the nazi party and then releasing information on whether or not they committed any war crimes or not against jews, gypsies, bolsheviks, etc.

  20. ISmokeIndica i knew about lynchings and slave codes.

  21. most of us know the history.  it just seems pointless and counter-productive to be putting flags on the map of every town that lynched black people.  it would be kind of like researching every german's family tree and making it public record about who and how many past family members were nazi party members back in the 30s and the 40s.

  22. they were first an offshoot of the newly defunct confederate party first.  i don't understand the point though.  i might as well say "daily reminder that people in montana used to fuck livestock at one point in time." makes about as much sense as your daily reminder.

  23. yeah i see no good coming from beating this dead horse.

  24. MrDili4sure once again, i'm not a democrat.  in a hypothetical scenario where i knew a jew who was prejudiced against germans because of ww2 then i would tell him/her that it was in the past and that this german guy doesn't represent the nazis or what the nazis did during ww2 and that he/she should get over their prejudice and move on.  the job interview isn't a good analogy to give because i don't represent the democratic party or the things that they do now or in the past.  if i was a registered democrat and someone asked me about the democratic party's past then i would acknowledge things without thinking anything of it but i would feel no need to apologize for what registered democrats did before i was even born though.  that would be stupid and pointless and needlessly taking on dead people's guilt.  if you want to talk about being illogical, that is being illogical.
