Texas: Xtian right school curriculum passed

The UN is a threat to American Freedom?

The UN is barely a threat to the UN...Nothing but talk, with no real power to back anything they say up. They've effectively become the League of Nations 2.0 only with more members...

Start Boycotting Texas NOW!

They're worried about anything that causes people to question.

The only thing we question about it is why the US keeps going on about it as if it were still an issue. It is part of our past and it's part of their past. Don't forget that it happened (history, whether it's good or bad, is important to remember), and don't ignore that it happened, but it should be kept in the past where it belongs. Without 'slavery', the whole Rosa Parks and Civil Rights Movement mean nothing.

If they're going to erase 'slavery', they might as well erase Harriet Tubman and Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King Jr. and his entire 'I have a dream' speech and James Meredith and. . . .

Where do you stop?

I used to work - at a university math department - with a plain spoken man who'd been a sailor in a previous life. He once claimed that with some idiots: "the only thing for them is to stick your prick in their ear and fuck some sense into them!" D'you reckon JUB could take on Texas?

-T.

Slavery isn't just an 'American' thing. Canada had slavery, too, as did most of the Commonwealth. I don't know why the US is so worried about it.

Uh… Not quite.

Canada was not Canada when that shit went on. The slavery that existed occurred within Aboriginal communities and within the British and French empires by way of Chattel slavery; Europeans who brought their own slaves (private servants or indentured servants, which were also regarded as slaves).

The practice was officially abolished in the 1830s. Whether or not this practice continued in some remote areas may be plausible, but it was not the law.

Canada did not confederate until 1867, over 30 years later.

To suggest that “Canada had slavery too!” is a grave misnomer. Comparing what happened in -- what later became -- Canada to the ramped Americanized form of for-profit mass-slavery is appalling. America was built on the backs of slaves; Canada was not.

Only if we can have the lights off. And use protection.

I wasn't lumping all Texans together. I was talking about the 'they' in the article.

I know when Confederation was. I was born when Canada was still a Dominion. But the country was known as Canada (divided into Upper Canada and Lower Canada) long before Confederation.

And it wasn't a misnomer. Colony or country, we were still known as Canada. When Great Britain abolished slavery in 1833, so did the rest of the Commonwealth.
