    Oh lookie! Fox managed to find a Black man no one has heard of with no credentials who said no such thing as systemic racism and slavery not about race!

    Ironically slavery in America was new precisely for being about race. Slavery was around for millennia but slaves were generally people conquered in battle. No racial mythology, just what conquerers did to conquered. African slave trade and New World slavery were hard to reconcile with alleged message of Jesus. So racial myth of Black inferiority, mental and moral, Black people don't really feel pain, don't care for their children, are inherently suited to slavery. Which it is now a crime to teach.

    There are states where it is taught slaves were happy and loved the masters. In the 21st century.

    Well, you keep working on that approach and I'll keep working with the Woodson Center. Together, we'll cover ALL the bases!

    Never heard of Woodson Center so I looked it up. Religious organization that produced sanitized 1776 history that won't upset white people. I asked you a series of questions about it but got no reply.

    The Woodson Center is owned and run by the Heritage Foundation.

    This is interesting considering the federal ruling about how much of tribal lands are now going to fall back under native American jurisdiction. I wonder if they're going to try and apply this to what the tribes are going to teach in tribal schools? You can't even come close to discussing how all those Native Americans ended up in Oklahoma without having a discussion on racism.

    There were reeducation camps for native kids there where they were taught to be....white.

    I looked around and couldn't find it. Show me again where the Heritage Foundation owns/operates the Woodson Center(?)

    It appears our poll results are pretty fairly balanced.

    @SlyPokerDog, were you able to find that? I'm interested in knowing the situation. Thanks.

    The videos about the Woodson thing you posted were from the Heritage Foundations youtube account. That's what lead me to find the connection. One that we've discussed a few times before.

    Up until 2019 they shared an office on K Street in DC.

    And...

    https://woodsoncenter.org/2018/02/22/back-future-solutions-work/

    Press announcements about the Woodson Center are done at and or by the Heritage Foundation.

    They are most definitely intertwined.

    Oh, I definitely know they're affiliated in certain ways. It was the part where you said the Woodson Center was owned and operated by the Heritage Foundation that I was uncertain of.

    In terms of press announcements, the Woodson Center definitely does their own. All of them? I'm not certain of that.

    So, you're somehow trying to discount/undermine the Woodson Center because they have some affiliation with the Heritage Foundation? I'm not gettin' that at all.

    Again, I don't see where the Heritage Foundation "owns" and "runs" the Woodson Center.

    I am discounting a sanitized view of history that pretends everything is uplifting so white people won't be uncomfortable.
