Dapper_Swindler posted:He makes some ok points about Americas whole mythology of perfection around our various leaders. Article is eh but makes some points. Trying to think of a good way of saying this. I think the ideas that guys like FDR, Teddy, Washington and Lincoln are worth idolizing, remembering. They themselves were merely men, and made a lot of mistakes. But there's a lot of ideas that we should, as Americans, as Human Beings take from some of their accomplishments. I think FDR is currently my favorite president because he was probably the closest we've ever gotten to someone enacting true socialist reforms on various matters in regards to the economy. Social Security and various "New Deal" programs have been his legacy. Those are things I wish this country would go forward with and bring back. The current DNC has no interest in using him as an icon and it's bullshit. They're more likely to go at Reagan than ever say anything good about the most successful, popular democratic president that has ever lived. FDR also did interment camps and a lot of those programs didn't help minorities. Those are legitimate criticisms of the man, and it's why he's not the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. My hope would be when someone looks at those various monuments dedicated to those men that they would feel inspired/compelled to continue the good of what they stood for, and expand on it.

There's been a lot of poo poo takes on that matter as of late. https://twitter.com/ShadowLeagueTSL/status/897476588673146884 Shannon Sharpe recently went on a rant about Hue Jackson not wanting his players to kneel before the national anthem. He pretty much said that he was viewed as an "Uncle Tom" in his neighborhood barbershop and that he was being disrespectful towards his heritage, those that fought for civil rights, etc. He claimed that Hue didn't deserve the job with the Browns, and implied that former Brown John Wooten (who apparently worked behind the scenes to get him hired) was appalled at him for taking such a stance. ... One problem. Hue apparently said that he didn't object to such a thing, but rather would prefer his players approach him first before protesting. His team leaders such as Joe Haden said that they backed that. Also John Wooten? Was disgusted by Sharpe's comments and demanded he apologize to Hue Jackson quote:Sharpe ripped Jackson for saying he hoped all his players would stand for the anthem and for not expressing more support for athletes’ right to protest. He called Jackson a “clown” and added “in the barbershop, he knows what he is.” https://theathletic.com/86060/2017/...-for-criticism/ Also check out the comments to the one Shannon Sharpe clip. Coach Jackson gets called a "c--n", and implied he's a minstrel act. Such things are reprehensible and disgusting.

get that OUT of my face posted:remember when fox sports 1 was going to our escape from ESPN's rotating cast of loud assholes? good times This is a guy who may not have a job next year if the track record of the Browns running coaches out of town is to be correct. What Shannon Sharpe is asking him to do....is unreasonable. He's already got enough pressure being one of the few black coaches in the NFL. He's already coaching a team that is trying to become relevant again for the first time since 1994. You're asking him to act like Colin loving Kaepernick under those circumstances. Shannon...the best thing he can do for the black community is to do what he's doing and be an example to those who want a career in that similar path. I really like this coach. He seems to be player friendly, run a good offense and seems to be a good guy. How is that a loving crime? To call him an Uncle Tom because he wants to focus on the success of himself and his team is also uncalled for. I'm angry as gently caress about this.

Like i love Teddy Roosevelt even though i am pretty left leaning guy. he did a lot of lovely things but he also did alot of good that pushed progressive ideas even if he wasnt debs. and stuff evolves over time, for example the animal conservation movement. for a long time speciese were mostly being conserved through taxadermy or drawings. hell most of the conservationists thought this was good thing, they assumed animals would all be killed off for fashion trends or hunting or art. so they decided it would be best to keep them preserved so when they were all dead we would know what they looked like. eventualy a bunch them realized there mistakes and modern conservation was born. history is complex like that. basicaly the right tries to make all these people magical super christian saints who did all that was right and good, and the left take issue with that. the problem is part of the left burried it self up its own rear end in a top hat so basicaly you have to be sinless to not be "problamatic" and teachable. its probably why they like fictional brands so much.

DuBois voiced a sentiment very similar to that back in 1922. http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/again-lincoln/ quote:We love to think of the Great as flawless. We yearn in our imperfection toward Perfection–sinful, we envisage Righteousness. I personally find nothing wrong with having heroes, as long as their flaws are acknowledged and not minimized. There are countless examples of (flawed) Democratic predecessors that can be recognized for both their strengths and flaws. William Jennings Bryan was a great man for his advocacy for the poor and against Imperialism but he was also a supporter of the Klan and a appalling racist. Harry Truman was another great who fought for healthcare for all, desegregated the military, and made a major push for civil rights. But he also used the word "friend of the family" constantly in private, thought sit-ins were inspired by Communists, and referred to MLK as "troublemaker.” quote:.."My forebears were Confederates.… Every factor and influence in my background—and in my wife’s for that matter—would foster the personal belief that you are right.

I don't feel like trying to find common ground is very useful right now because if the enemy is going to see history in one sense, trying to veer toward a more 'neutral'(there are no neutral historical perspectives) perspective simply cedes ground to the enemy. Also re: kaepernick, there are far worse QBs who coast by on a single good season so the fact of his mediocrity doesn't strike me as very odd. Derek Anderson has coasted by in jobs based on one really good half a season with the Browns ten years ago.

Can we have a serious talk about AntiFA? I realize I'm going to step on some toes but is their rate of success worth noting at this point? IIRC...Didn't the german chapter in the late 30's wound up losing to the nazi's or am I mistaken? Is it fair to consider them anarcho communists and to be critical of that system as a belief? I ask because it feels like a lot of people seem to blanket endorse them as a whole while not understanding who they actually are. It's also confusing to see people put a picture of people storming the beach at Normandy then go "here are anti-fascists" which...by definition doesn't seem like they would be. I say this as a fan of the DSA, and someone who was supportive of their actions in Charlottesville.
