that’s insane. Cotton has been grown and used in clothing since 5000 BC in the Indus valley civilization in India. You can’t boil everything down to a couple of centuries.
These morons want to boil everything down to the sensitivities of last week. Thus a flag, or a banana or a picture of a cotton ball can send them into uncontrollable vapors.
We need to figure out a way to make coloring books, play-do and fidget spinners be seen as racist, then the snowflakes will really be lost.
Not even centuries really, a few decades.
“You can’t boil everything down to a couple of centuries.”
Yes, you can if people are ignorant, and the some schools have done a masterful job of keeping groups uninformed. For the rest, nothing matters but their internal narrative that the world began in in some nebulous past between Clinton and the invention of electricity.
I was reading a new book about the Nanjing horrors prior to WWII while waiting in public, and a young man who was curious asked about the book.
He had no idea that Japan invaded China or controlled parts of SE Asia or the Boxer Rebellion or the Opium Wars, and nothing other than a vague memory of some trade routes during the exploration period. Prince Henry the Who?
Such a shame! Without understanding the past, how can these youngsters hope to create a future?
Never underestimate the Left.
