minus-squareMango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down3·2 months agoCalm your tits, sir. History has always been my least trusted subject. It’s written by the victors after all. What are you on about with drugs? Who tf is Sally Hemmings and why should I care?
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoSeriously? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Hemings You should care that one of our revered founding fathers kept a slave mistress that he raped when other people are trying to deify them. Also, you should care about black history because it’s American history.

minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoYou can remember her. Like you can remember other people who were part of the black history of America. Or are you saying black history isn’t important?
minus-squareMango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·2 months agoI’m saying history isn’t important. Don’t fuckin race bait me. I live in the now.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoThis is what you said after I tried to tell you who Sally Hemmings was: What the fuck can I do about long dead guy and his long dead mistress? Shit’s over with. Focus on today. So it sure sounds like you’re saying history isn’t important. Living in the now when you don’t know the history is how past mistakes are repeated.
minus-squareMango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·2 months agoWell gee, now I know not to keep a slave in my basement.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIs that really all you think there is to learn?
minus-squareMango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·2 months agoAm I supposed to just not do what the victors are insisting are mistakes, or do you think they’re telling it their way to maintain control over me?
