I don't think I can eat revisionist history for a meal or use it to pay my rent. But I could agree to it if I get to be hawt.

When was the last time a Pulitzer was awarded to a project that had one of its core assertions walked back under academic scrutiny?

Antifa Activist Goes Viral Bragging About Lawsuit Against Landlord for Demanding Rent — Turns Out It’s His Grandma

A militant antifa activist went viral recently for filing a complaint against his landlord for tracking his coronavirus stimulus check and demanding rent — but he conveniently left out that the landlord is his grandmother.

Austin Goodrich, 22, received an outpouring of sympathy for his situation after filing the lawsuit in Oregon on April 22. The complaint said that the actions of his landlord left him “feeling overwhelmingly violated and vulnerable.”

Goodrich was demanding that his grandmother waive all rent due until the end of his lease on June 30, waive all due and past-due amounts, return his security deposit and give him an excellent rental reference. Since she did not respond to his absurd requests, he filed a lawsuit.

That guy should never be allowed to reproduce. Surgically if necessary.

The joke in 400 level history:
Either 51% or 49% of all documented history is revisionism (you choose) only one can be correct



implying no matter what historical angle you take for your thesis
half the class will say you're wrong

I hear a stampede of cattle (or Karens) do an equally sufficient job.

I like it when I make you go all klam-esque "the world is hopelessly gray" on me

There's a lot of history on actual paper that directly refutes the core tenet of the project

Hell, the Northwest Ordinance alone blows it out of the water

This is just another Nobel Prize to Obama that isn't going to age well

You seem to be confusing me with somebody that gives a sh!t..?

I don't care what story black people or Mexican people or Scottish people tell about their history (fabricated or otherwise)
and I don't care about Grammy's or Emmys or Pulitzers - and if they all "check out" to some standard

What I'm talking about is some self-congratulatory white kid - on this forum
acting like it's his job to be the purveyor of "minority truth"
in an obvious attempt to make himself feel better about history in the American south

Thanks for solving American race relations all by yourself

I don’t see the NYT’s rewriting of history to be “black hyperflexion”... it is more like white liberal self flagellation... and allowing a few of their favored black scholars a platform on which to do some “hyperflexion”

Nothing is more annoying than a bunch of white progressives with the biggest bullhorn in the world. If it was Salon then it would just be “meh”

Just think... a few years from now, some guy researching a book on the 18th century New England whaling industry - based on records, letters... people who were there, and in their own words. And then imagine having your work reviewed against the “facts” in the NYT’s project and held to that litmus test of “authenticity”

Besides, you don’t have to re-write history to make chattel slavery in the South “bad”. A shitload of people already died 160 years ago making that point well known...

And TBH, I don’t care very much, either

It is our kids who will have to live with the Orwellian world they seem so anxious to get to ... whether its about race, or economics, or who invented the pupusa (it was El Salvador the Guatemalans are full of shit)

We agree here spot on ^

I disagree... everybody knows "wink wink" its bullshit... kinds like Ralph Wyley books
this is a way of letting one very angry group put their books up next to the real books and by all appearances be taken seriously
very much the same way conservative Christian America wants a seat at the big boy table with the real thinkers

these books have been clogging the college book store shelves since before I went to school and will continue to jam the shelves but they don't sell much a year later and mostly go ignored over time (see Ralph Wyley books)

Good.

The sad part is gun store owners closing for any reason other than they want the day off. The salon owner in Texas has more balls

completely belie you saying you don't care, especially since I'm talking specifically about media bias and didn't bother to make a thread about it. The comment about being reincarnated a black woman is especially funny to me. Am I as a poor black woman supposed to care more about white journalists giving journalists awards for pseudohistorry and articles about how white people "stole" black music than I am sustenance?

Honestly, I don't really care that much if there's no white history month or if people like MrKlean think Ramses II was black and built the first focused-energy weapon to drive back the white cave man hordes. What's more relevant is how this stuff infects our politics (insert Chizzang comment about religion here).

I dunno why you are triggered by clitz just doing what he does

Here’s the clitz formula:

1) pick a post that is s liberal lightning rod

2) make an unsubstantiated claim

3) get ambushed from multiple directions

4) claim you never gave a fuck to begin with

5) add some extra intellectual pablum as you retreat

if there was ever an opportunity to miss the point - well - here we are...
But I do agree with you on the whole "white folks bending over backward" to give black folks awards
at best its patronizing at its worst its destructive and damages everyone's credibility

but as this administration is presenting to the world... credibility is no longer really a thing that matters
