If HBO is dying to make a show, I'd love to see an alternate history where Reconstruction was way more successful than it was in reality. I have no doubt we'd still be a racist nation, but different somehow.

I wish that were the case, but she'll soon be forgotten, just like when South Carolina FINALLY took down their Confederate flag, and everyone just moved on to focusing on the newest Katy Perry album.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:If HBO is dying to make a show, I'd love to see an alternate history where Reconstruction was way more successful than it was in reality. I have no doubt we'd still be a racist nation, but different somehow. well, amazon is doing this thing quote:Titled Black America, the drama hails from top feature producer Will Packer (Ride Along, Think Like A Man franchises, Straight Outta Compton) and Peabody-winning The Boondocks creator and Black Jesus co-creator Aaron McGruder. It envisions an alternate history where newly freed African Americans have secured the Southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama post-Reconstruction as reparations for slavery, and with that land, the freedom to shape their own destiny. The sovereign nation they formed, New Colonia, has had a tumultuous and sometimes violent relationship with its looming “Big Neighbor,” both ally and foe, the United States. The past 150 years have been witness to military incursions, assassinations, regime change, coups, etc. Today, after two decades of peace with the U.S. and unprecedented growth, an ascendant New Colonia joins the ranks of major industrialized nations on the world stage as America slides into rapid decline. Inexorably tied together, the fate of two nations, indivisible, hangs in the balance.

Does anyone have that statement, I think it was a twitter post, about the only way to stop nazis? I've been trying to find it again. Also I think someone posted an amazon link to a book about the rise of the reich I was looking for.

This is the Civil War version of "actually, BOTH sides are wrong!" Good luck convincing any American (especially African Americans) that the man who emancipated the slaves was actually totally a white supremacist because of some political maneuverings he made to try to avoid war, rebellion, and the collapse of a nation.

Mahoning posted:This is the Civil War version of "actually, BOTH sides are wrong!" i mean pretty much every american president of the 18th and 19th century (and most if not all in the 20th) were huge racists who probably don't deserve memorials but if we're going to go beyond taking down confederate memorials and start in on the white supremacists we should definitely start with the ones who actually owned slaves first

If this premise had been posited by anyone else, I would give an eye so wary, I'd go crosseyed when it came up as an advertisement, but its creators make me think it might be worth checking out.

I'd like to think that there's a difference between lowering a bit of cloth, and tearing down meant-to-be-permanent public 'art', charging a car into a crowd and, carrying torches in public while spouting 1930's nazi propaganda. have one ounce of faith in humanity.

Covok posted:I would also not call it victory until people like alt right are pushed into a fringe minority of the Republican party that have no power. Essentially, they become impotent or vanished. Isn't that exactly what's happening though? Bannon Trump and Sessions being removed is definitely the medium term goal, but if we take it one step at a time, I feel like these are at least the right steps. Hang in there mate.

Imagine that in the last 30-40 years or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1800#House_election_of_1801 Basically the entire constitution seized up and crashed the first time it was applied to a contested election, The 12th Amendment patched the problem but it's good to keep in mind when talking with morons who think the Founding Fathers were demi-gods who invented the perfect form of government.

Honestly pretty much any white person in the 1800s was probably a white supremacist by today's standards (or at least "pretty darn racist") and I doubt Lincoln was an exception. But the fact that he did the right thing - hell one of the greatest things any president has ever done - regardless makes him even more worthy of commemoration, not less.
