Expunging U.S. History

Except that he's kind of the laughing stock of the nation in regard to "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em".

I would love to be a Young, Rich, one of if not the best players in the world. And a FINALS MVP and NBA CHAMPION laughing stock. He joined them and is an NBA CHAMPION and FINALS MVP!

Apparently, many of the counter-protest group were bought. There were Craigslist ads in a 3-4 state area. The ads were written and paid for by a California group.

The ad was posted by a company called "Crowds on Demand" and offered $25 per hour to "actors and photographers" to participate in events in the "Charlotte, NC area." While the ad didn't explicitly define a role to be filled by its crowd of "actors and photographers" it did ask applicants to comment on whether they were "ok with participating in peaceful protests."​

Anyone want to bet me whether this group banks coin from some George Soros group?

"Crowds on Demand" is in the business of sourcing large crowds of people to "provide clients with protests, rallies, [and] flash-mobs" all over the country. They even have an entire page on their website dedicated to "Protests and Rallies."

Are you looking to create a buzz anywhere in the United States? At Crowds on Demand, we provide our clients with protests, rallies, flash-mobs, paparazzi events and other inventive PR stunts. These services are available across the country in every major U.S city, every major U.S metro area and even most smaller cities as well.

FWIW, Snopes says the company has denied this but it looks likes Snopes also receives funding from Soros groups

With all the supposed funding by Soros nobody yet has produced a paycheck or W-2. I guess it feels better to believe when you are vastly outnumbered the other side is just a bunch of "paid actors" rather than true activists.

Either the mods are gonna get this race baiting POS Rattfatt out of here or in the name of protesting racism the civil members here need to band together and all put his profile on ignore.

There's already been several instances he's called people here racist. He's brought nothing to any discussion but insults and allegations of racism towards a whole race and our members who disagree with him.
 
And the naive thought this would end with monuments. Six Flags Over Texas has now become One Flag Over America. All six flags they fly are now the American flag.

Hate to break it to everyone but this siege on Texas history and bowing down to mob rule has only begun...

Six Flags Parks Remove Historic Flags over Political Concerns

"Before the controversy over the Confederacy erupted again last week, Six Flags proudly flew the flags of the six nations that have governed what is now the Lone Star State. Those nations were France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America, and the Confederate States of America. Texas, of course, rejoined the Union at the conclusion of the Civil War."
 
I'll go ahead & say to RF what many of us are thinking either consciously or subconsciously:

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

And yes I am aware the above is an absolute.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion......, etc.
 
Rattfatt is a good example of the problems with absolutism in a political context. Where their single issue is "racism" others on this board exemplify the same traits in conservative vs. liberal discussions.

Whenever anyone tries to paint an entire group of people with a brush for the actions of 1 or a few individuals we should call them rattfatt. This will signify that they are operating in a black/white world that doesn't exist and their rhetoric is less than beneficial in discussing the nuances of complex topics.

A wise person taught me that there were always two sides to every argument:

Yours and the idiot you're arguing with.

Now this ordeal is being turned around on me as if I'm insulting you or the moderation of this board? That's rich.

My bad for not noticing any action had been taken. Without realizing this it was getting perplexing after the multiple racist accusations lasted over a week.

The 'handled like adults' comment I made was meant as a contradicting description to my potentially needing to take less mature actions like ignoring the guy or reporting it. It was not intended to throw mud or insults at you or OB's.

That being said, the day I'm unwelcome here is also fine. That's the exact outcome trolls desire when they bait.

Next time just report it without commentary. Life is a lot better if you assume it is not your job to police the board.

Snowflakes. :)
 
It's a pure distraction. If anyone thinks that Charlottesville was about a statue they're naive. It's like saying a divorce was over the dishes.

Those of us that dont like neo nazis or antifa communists and like history would kindly ask that those engaged in the neo nazi-antifa sideshow (including Fenves) please leave Texas, Southern and American history out of it.

You are probably right. But I don't know if the statue / flag issue is a hill worth dying on.

Certainly not, but the coming hills will be. What say you when they go after the Founding Fathers? All were slave owners.

The point is revisionist history is dangerous and knows no bounds if mob rule is allowed to destroy the accounts and products of those partaking in the norms of their time that we regard as absurd in our present.

The left has tasted success with their new strategy and you can bet they're financing armies to uncover and disseminate more historical things to attack. Confederate history was only the first domino to fall.

History is revised all the time based on social mores, awareness and new evidence. To think that history is static is naive at best. Look no further to the Texas Board of Educations' attempts to revise/retranslate history.
