Asked my 9 yo how she felt reading this book, as a white person; she said "I think the only white people that feel bad or mad or uncomfortable reading about the stuff that white people did in history are the people who want to do it again.β #StopBanningBooks@nhannahjones pic.twitter.com/fMn663Zlq3

It's stuff like this that makes me realize you're just a DNC shill
like i said if you shit your pants at the start of a talk you dont get to say that doesnt count
no it isn't. you yourself say conservatives think slavery good and liberals think slavery bad. there is no nuance to the argument in that case
i learned about slavery in high school in scotland. so you're saying that you as a burger weren't taught it?

I think you're probably just a foreigner and not very educated on any of this.
That's literally how history works, we change and correct things as new understandings are obtained. So yes, you do get to make corrections to historical works, I don't know who told you that this isn't a thing.
Copy-paste where anyone said slavery was good.
Ah you are a foreigner, this makes more sense.
Americans learn about slavery, but in many parts of the country it's white-washed. I'll give you an example of what I mean, but some relevant context first.
In America Texas has a monopoly on the production of school textbooks, Texas is a crazy rightoid state so a lot of school textbooks have to be corrected and or contain absurd bullshit denying climate change, evolution, or white-washing slavery.
An example:
Or:
Even worse is large swathes of the American population denies that slavery was the cause of the civil war, this is because of a neo-confederate group stocking southern public schools with faux history textbooks:

Stop saying it's more nuanced and then say that. I'd respect you more if you didn't try to argue nuance and just said im heroic and everyone against my ideology is evil

I mean I have a formal education on the topic which is why I'm easily dunking you.
Based on?
Where did anyone claim slavery was good? Where was anyone called evil?
I'm confused, are you under the impression a simpsons joke is somehow a valid replacement for basic historical facts? The civil war was completely over slavery, every single secondary issue was objectively linked to slavery.
Every state that left the union cited slavery.
The president of the confederacy cited slavery.

do you really not get that im saying you're painting texas as this pro-slavery state and then when i call you out you say umm no no one said that. while in the same breath talk of gay butt nuance
im making fun of you for saying the idea the civil war couldve been over multiple things was a neoconfederate talking point. by that token the simpsons was written by neoconfederates. it's making fun of you for having a black and white morality based on what? was your mother a democrat?

I went to a better college than you did.
Nobody claimed Texas was pro-slavery, this is called you flailing and making strawman arguments because you're getting absolutely dismantled.
White-washing slavery does not = pro slavery.
The idea the civil war was over multiple things is absolutely a neo-confederate talking point. Either way, the books were put in schools by a group called the daughters of the confederacy, a neo-confederate group in America.
This has nothing to do with morality, it has to do with you being illiterate to basic historical facts and trying to pretend reality is subjective.

"I-I didnt say they were pro slavery, CHUD, I just said they were evil propagandists who edit books and eat babies." Dude your entire fricking argument is a strawman. Texas is literally a swing state now
so the simpsons is run by neoconfederates

Get your money back.
Are you capable of speaking in anything other than strawman? I accused Texas of white-washing slavery, then provided multiple examples of them doing so.
Being a swing-state doesn't change that, and Texas isn't even a swing-state yet.
No, the simpsons was making a joke that went over your head because you're dumb.
