US President Renames May 8th and November 11th

Yes, of course he is. He's an ignorant fool. John Oliver summed it up best; he's like a poor student who didn't read the book or do the assignments.


Edit - Honest question, Trumpies can answer too; in terms of knowledge of American history, would Donald Trump even rise above the lowest quartile of posters on this board?

Almost certainly not. I'd love to hear that guy attempt to answer some of the most basic questions possible on US history; what years were the Civil War? WW2? What was Brown vs. Board of Education? Zero chance that guy knows any of that sh stuff.

 

Somebody forgot to do the pre-class reading and is winging it.

 

Trump probably couldn't pass the test required of every immigrant was is applying for US citizenship although that may apply to a majority of Americans who are citizens by virtue of their birth in the US.

 

DAV has a thought on this proposal to change the name of Veteran's Day:

I'm locked and loaded with more Anti-Seger talking points. Don't tempt me, I suggest you Turn The Page

 

Oh, we agree. Seger is ok, but our belief in him being overrated is Still The Same

 

I just love all of your meltdowns on here. It fuels me, it gives me joy each day! Keep melting down libs, is great to see Trump owning you so thoroughly. Owning the libs never gets old.

Let's be downright clear, if it wasn't for the U.S., all of Europe would be speaking German now. All of Europe, outside of maybe the UK, would be the German Empire.

They should bow to us and worship us every single day for all I care. Europe owes us their very existence. They have done next to nothing for us, we have done everything for them. Heck they are still wanting us to fight their wars for them, like the war in Ukraine. It's time to remind them that they owe us everything.

 

Your wisdom is noted

 

I will always remember John Oliver as the guy who energetically and very publicly dared Trump to run in 2016.

 

Us? Exactly what did you do? How does Europe owe you a single thing?

If descendants of a country of WW2 soldiers are owed thanks then descendants of a nation of slavers owes a lot of repartitions.

 

If it weren't for the Europeans, there would be no United States. We owe them (especially England) our very existence. Birthing a new country isn't "next to nothing." If it wasn't for Europe, we'd still be speaking Native American. Think about it.

 

Big difference and you know it.

Are you going to go into genealogy and prove which white people are descendants of slave owners? Many whites, their ancestors came here after the Civil War. My great grandmother and great grandfather on my dad's side (my grandmother's parents) did not come over from Italy until the 1910's, well after the Civil War. Even my grandmother on my dad's side was actually born in Italy, but came over at a young age. She only visited Italy twice.

What about black people who came over later on? Why should they get reparations when their ancestors were never enslaved?

What are you going to for descendants of both slave owners and slaves. They would both owe reparations and need to receive them since it was well know that many slave owners would have sex and just affairs in general with some of their slaves.

What about black people who's genealogy goes back to slave owners in Africa? Do they need to pay for reparations?

Like many, you start your argument from a false pretext, assuming only white people were evil. You do realize that there would not have even been any slaves for white people in America to buy if there wasn't a supply of black slaves already been enslaved in Africa right?

Do you realize that Africa is basically the last place left where large level slavery (outside of specific industries like sex trafficking or human trafficking which is worldwide) still occurs? Africans do not have clean hands by any means.

 

You still didn’t answer what you did to personally end WW2 that deserves people bowing down to you. Your words not mine.
