When they get rid of all Civil War monuments and erase the history of the Civil War and most of our other national history, we can proudly proclaim that there was NEVER ANY SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES——SO SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR REPARATIONS.
SHUT UP ABOUT HOW YOU WERE MISTREATED.
We never had slaves in the United States; SO WE OWE YOU NOTHING.
NO MORE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
NO MORE PREFERENCES BASED ON RACE.
NO MORE EBT CARDS.
NO MORE INNER CITY WELFARE.

QUOTE FROM "1984" BY GEORGE ORWELL (written in 1949)

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, and the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.

"History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

Was Orwell prescient in l949 or was he dead-on prescient?

Well, not quite. The bill that made the Confederates “veterans” was in 1958. A bill in 1929 established that headstones be erected for Confederates as well as Federal soldiers.

That’s hardly “quickly.” But it did happen.

Yep! It’s very tempting to agree with their jihad on history and help them eliminate it. Then anyone who utters the words “American slavery” can be laughed at like a fool who believes in unicorns. “Show me the proof!”

Slavery has been around forever. Before Jamestown was settled, Europe had been in a thirty year war. That war created a terrible European economy with many poor. Thus we had indentured servants come to this land about ten years after Jamestown started in 1607. Slavery still exists when humans will do anything to escape the likes of Venezuela. Add sex trafficking.
