I think you're probably just a foreigner and not very educated on any of this.

says the american

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.

how american history works

Copy-paste where anyone said slavery was good.

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.

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

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

darn simpsons is written by neoconfederates

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?

darn simpsons is written by neoconfederates

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

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.

all you speak in is handwringing over an imaginary enemy that hates black people and democracy. get real

it's literally on wikipedia's swing state page, your favorite site

no, no the joke of the simpsons scene is that apu has more of a knowledge of american history than its citizens

I gave you examples of them doing this. Would you like links to the court rulings proven the GOP engages in racial voter suppression?

I don't care what's on wikipedia, Texas is not a swing-state currently, it's becoming one.

No, the joke was the citizen process is convoluted. He's explaining the civil war in a long-winded way because he thinks it's expected.

You can trace every point he made back to "slavery" thus they tell him to just say slavery. Neo-confederates misunderstood the scene and thought it was somehow reaffirming their delusion and thus spam it online.

Funny enough I've seen 3 pol tards link that video as they lose arguments over the civil war, which leads me to believe you're just a dumb kid with no understanding of American politics or history outside of what you absorb via pol.

To show you what I mean:

I can link that Time article about how Democrated candidates were literally texting rioters to stop when it became politically inconveniant, among other things that dumb article said to secure the 2020 election. but i literally dont care about what your candidates do to "win" a "democratic" "election". your entire political system is based around voting for one of two choices. not really a democracy when you can only ever elect millionaires

I don't care what's on wikipedia, Texas is not a swing-state currently, it's becoming one.

literally shut the frick up dude. what a cope
