LMAO. The "epic" "deb...Zinn!?!?!??! LMAO. The "epic" "debunker" now debunked as Leftist tripe and simplistic bad history. Good grief. Move to Wakanda. But, you def have the loser's perspective. <br /><br /><br /><br />"Earlier this month, George Mason University's History News Network asked readers to vote for the least credible history book in print. The top pick was David Barton's right-wing reimagining of our third president, Jefferson's Lies: Exposing the Myths You've Always Believed about Thomas Jefferson. But just nine votes behind was the late Howard Zinn's left-wing epic, A People's History of the United States. Bad history, it turns out, transcends political divides.<br /><br />If these books seem an unlikely pair, they also have a good deal in common. Both flatter their readers by promising to let them in on hidden truths of which most people, and most experts, are unaware. Both offer stark, simplistic accounts (buttressed, in Barton's case, by a litany of historical errors). And both undermine the notion that the past can be rationally interrogated, debated, and revised by people from opposite sides of the ideological spectrum."<br /><br />That's you-utterly simplistic and partisan.<br /><br />"What exactly is it about Barton's and Zinn's versions of history that inspire such uncompromising, take-no-prisoners fervor? And how do they manage to wield so much influence, given the widespread skepticism about their accuracy?<br /><br />Partisanship is the first answer that comes to mind. Barton and Zinn have served as eloquent and vocal supporters of right- and left-wing causes respectively, and both have reworked the past for transparently political purposes. Each has offered conclusions that resonate with his audiences' beliefs. Whatever the validity of their claims, in other words, many readers apparently think they should be true."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-11645291078738355722020-01-28T13:19:54.367-06:002020-01-28T13:19:54.367-06:00Blaming the system (wm's) is a typical respons...Blaming the system (wm's) is a typical response for lazy folks who don't take personal responsibility or ownership over anything. The plantation mentality strong with them. Last I checked, the Soviet Union didn't defeat the US in anything influential enough to cause other ambitious states to commit genocide. The Japanese and Chinese fought long before Westerners meddled. To say wm's are responsible for the raping of nanking is hilarious. Nice try. If you stretch that far, you need to change your major to something worth a damn and spend less time cooking up revenge fantasies with your fake ass studies degree. Aztecs sacrificed folks during famines to control the masses. Go read Howard Zinn if you want to know history from the losers perspective.

Yes, the white man is responsible for a lot of awful stuff in the history of the world, but I think the good will always outweigh the bad. Not a single one of us can change what race we were born into, and we certainly cannot rewrite history. But what we can do is learn from history and vow never to repeat it.

Emerging communist states saw the success that the Soviet Union had in defeating the US ideologically in fields such as Space and diplomatic detente on numerous fronts. This lead to those emerging states emulating the extreme measures that Stalin and others used to obtain those goals. <br /><br />Same for Imperial Japan. They wanted to be a great Imperial power after the Meiji Restoration and centuries of isolationism. Imperial Japan merely emulated the Imperial British, German, Belgian, and even French policies regarding their conquered colonies. Which was unquestioned brutality in China, Africa, and Indochina. <br /><br />Yes, white males were aghast when they were poorly treated after imprisoned by Imperial Japanese forces who didn't see them as superior or even equals since they were captured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-1511986976995056882020-01-28T10:49:28.428-06:002020-01-28T10:49:28.428-06:00@Kingfish said So all that genocide and blood sacr...@Kingfish said <i>So all that genocide and blood sacrifice practiced by the Aztecs?

Just making sure. See, now you are shifting the goal posts. First it was only whites do genocide. Then you got your ass kicked. Then you say well, they learned it from whites. Um, yeah, ok. So even the Khmer Rouge can blame it on whitey even though the French didn't engage in it in SE Asia. What a great excuse to have available for any murderous behavior. <br /><br />So all that genocide and blood sacrifice practiced by the Aztecs? Where did it come from?

It was made very clear that the Hutus learned to hate the Tutsis from the white Belgian colonizers.<br /><br />Communist Cambodian Khmer Rouge learned genocide from the Soviet Joseph Stalin who genocided Ukrainians.<br /><br />Imperial Japan learned to dehumanize the Chinese from Imperial Western Colonial Powers that occupied Peking during the Opium Wars and Boxer Rebellion. <br /><br />You've been out of school far too long and you have missed out on recent developments in history not written by white male patriarchy.

Nearly 2 million killed, 20% of the population. <br /><br />Rawanda? That was done by your peeps (and abetted by Susan Rice and her boss at the time). 800,000 in that 100 day genocide, five million in that war alone. <br /><br />Cultural Revolution. That was a good one. Ten Years. What? 20 million?<br /><br />Then there are the Japs of WW2. We can start with the Rape of Nanking. Medical experiments. They butchered everywhere they went.
