Why is the So Left Insane? That Anti-July Fourth WaPo Piece Exposes What They’re Being Taught in Colleges
President Trump decided to celebrate our nation’s birthday and in doing so, set off a meltdown not seen in quite a while from the media.
•Who am I kidding? It was a day that ends in “y” with these clowns. If Trump said the sky was blue, they would dole out endless articles attacking him.
•Trump decided to kick off the Fourth of July weekend by delivering a speech and fireworks show at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. That really set off the Left. And it didn’t stop there. This whole weekend is going to be grade-A Trump derangement entertainment from the press.
•And then, there’s these perspective and op-ed pieces from liberals that bash America. Take this one in The Washington Post, which says the global legacy of our independence has to be reconsidered. Again, the Left is attacking our founding, which isn’t out of the ordinary, but the history professor who penned this piece exposes what kids are being taught in higher education. It’s not pretty. As some have already pointed out, the thesis of the piece is just historically illiterate.
America’s independence is responsible for the spread of global racism or something. Oh, and when we finally broke away from Britain, we somehow set forth the UK’s conquest of India or something
•As Joe Gabriel Simonson at the Washington Examiner noted, the Brits had been in the Indian subcontinent since the 16th century. And yes, he also said this is what’s being taught about this nation in higher education because you know this isn’t the only professor spewing this garbage. You can see why the ‘woke’ legions are so unhinged if they’re being taught this nonsense (via WaPo):
•The first is the central paradox in U.S. history: The nation’s democracy was founded as a slave society.
•The second is that after cutting political ties with Great Britain, Americans doubled down on the British Empire’s project of colonial domination. The American Revolution inspired freedom movements in other parts the world. But it also contributed to the worldwide spread of white supremacy.
I mean, is this a joke? The United States is at fault for Britain’s…total colonization of India. If we didn’t break free, India wouldn’t have been colonized…by an imperial superpower like Britain?
•Doubtful. But that’s a useless historical debate. We did break free and we shouldn’t apologize for that. And somehow our independence has to be reconsidered due to some oddball global racism paradigm is just ‘woke’ trash.
•There is no room for nuance or character error with the Left. You must be perfect. You must be progressive. You must have zero so-called problematic blemishes in your past otherwise you’re erased. That’s not how life or the human condition work. There will be flaws. Every nation has dark points. That’s just a fact.
•But this notion that global racism was caused by our independence is just absurd. At face value, this whole piece is just trash and shows the dangerous consequences of historical revisionism.
We're to blame for all the world's evils because…we broke free from King George III. How about we put down the crack pipe. And I thought Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) saying that we invented slavery on the Senate floor was bad. This one may have topped that
