Progressivism is regressive. No one is safe because no one is perfect. We are being led back into the dark ages. Real students of history know history repeats itself and we have periods of enlightenment and then once again dark ages. We are in the dimming days. People want to turn their self determination over for safety; their economic potential over for assurances. In order for the masterminds to accomplish their Utopia everyone must comply and those who don't will be dealt with accordingly. They use racism to 'fight' racism, fascist tactics to fight Fascist. They erase history. Everything has to be judged by the Priests in The Temples of Syrinx. Nothing is safe except for friends of the Priests. Envy is a virtue. Theft by force of government is noble. Forced compliance is aspirational.

@jond it is not the content that is under attack. As has been said there are lots of 'artist' who use very derogatory descriptions of women in this new age of 'enlightenment'. No, it comes down who has permission to say whatever they want by the elites. We see cancel culture in effect daily. It was revealed recently that one of the gate keepers, Katie Couric, thought remarks by her hero Ruth Bader Ginsburg might be considered as countering the narrative Ms. Couric approves. That portion of the interview was conveniently edited out as she wanted to protect the image Couric demanded of her instead of the truth. Remember the calls for Vince Vaughn to be excommunicated from Hollywood for shaking Trump's hand? Or the backlash because Ellen Degeneres received for sitting next to Bush Jr.?

@tomic601 you sir I see, are not a student of history. Yes, millions dead. Communism and it's kissing cousin Socialism are responsible for over 100 million dead due to the policies adopted. Venezuela went from one of the richest nations in the Western Hemisphere to groups of people beating cows to death with sticks in order to get something to eat. You also don't know anything about American history. This claim that we were founded as a racist slave nation is a lie straight from hell. Disparate (and desparate) people settled here on this continent from all over Europe. They were loosely confederated and no one colony had any say over what another did because our government at the time resided in England. It was our Declaration of Independence that cut the ties and the ensuing war that broke our bonds. It was in fact our Constitution that paved the way for slavery to be banished. Our Founding Fathers if they had chosen, could have enshrined slavery if they had wanted to. It was in fact the words in the Declaration of Independence, "All men are created equal" that put ending slavery into play. Maybe you and the rest of the liberal mob have forgotten but a long and bloody civil war where half of the participants that died were fighting to secure the freedoms of slaves. I respect you and your audio opinions but your grip on reality is tenuous at best.

Jefferson penned the words. If he didn't believe it he wouldn't have written them. Unfortunately slavery was standard practice at the time but if you studied Jefferson you would also know he had qualms about it. We are not unique however as a nation as nearly all nations have practiced slavery at some point. Maybe if you are truly aggrieved you could speak out against slavery where it still exist today. As I said if they wanted it to continue as a slave nation they could have enshrined it in our Constitution. If you are really aggrieved you should renounce the Democrat party as they were the ones who instituted Jim Crow and fought tooth and nail against the Civil Rights Act. The only schizoprenia I see are those who now elevate the black race over other races while at the same time telling them they are incapable of advancing on their own because of non-existant systemic racism.

@ghasley you bring up the 3/5 compromise and the revisionist historians point to it as evidence of racism. Clearly it is you that has a poor grasp of history and add civics to the list. How is the House of Representatives assigned members? By population. The southern slave states wished to have full representation based on their population including slaves but of course slaves were not allowed to vote against their own oppression. Non slave states didn't want to endow that kind of power to southern states so the compromise negated that through lowering the population count of southern states. It is easily discerned if you read the writings of the times rather than the agenda driven clap trap of liberal professors and professional victimologist.

If the United States was in fact systemically racist there would be laws on the books to disadvantage minorities and keep them from participating in any form of government, employment, education, protection by the law, protections granted by the Constitution, etc. In fact it is the exact opposite! There are laws on the books that ban discrimination based on... race! We are, and have been the most diverse and accepting nation on the face of the earth. People are free to come here from anywhere (preferably legally) and persue the American Dream. A great majority of them succeed. When you tell a man he cannot escape his circumstances due to imaginary suppression he will not escape his circumstances. When you tell a man anything is possible because it is he can.

You can describe it any way you like it but the Democrat Party was the author of Jim Crow. They praise to this day Margret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood as a way to control the black population who she referred to as weeds as well as the mentally impaired. Hillary Clinton adored Robert Byrd, a (cough) former KKK Grand Clugle and BJ Clinton's mentor Wm. Fulbright was an avowed segragetionist.

Racial tensions are beneficial to those who wish to overthrow our form of government, you can't get people to be with you if they are happy. Be happy and know that we as a nation can become the melting pot of the past instead of the salad bowl people try to make us believe we are.

@dabel I'd love to as I'm a Rush fanatic but alas you and the concert are far far away.

@ghasley we can be amicable and of course there can always be improvements in race relatons but that's not the goal that's being advanced today. We are being purposely divided with the end goals of unrest. Today there are exclusionary practices being performed by black groups and white liberal guilt mongers. Calls for segregated (no whites allowed college dorms) , jobs where white people need not apply, etc. There WERE people on the right side of the 3/5 debate, north, and there were people who were wrong, south. You basically said the same in your response, ie the same people.
