That guy is friends with a person who thinks it should be illegal for his daughter to play on a sports team of her choice. He can go jump in the lake.

Some African slaves fought on the British side during the Revolutionary War.
If you want to understand why...

There were also colonists who, honestly, sought independence because they were afraid that as long as America remained a British colony, the Crown was increasingly likely to end slavery in it as a colony. Just reality.
Please note, in saying this, I'm not saying there weren't other reasons, and the Declaration does lay them out.

And they're the ones who claim they are the victims.They're getting the government to ban books, they've been targeting professors for the past decade, they're firing teachers and profs.
I think they're a new form of fascists who are better educated, better financed, and more fanatical. What they won't realize until it's too late is when they're point their fingers at others claiming they're the problem they have three fingers point back at them. If they every takeover this country they'll purge anyone who disagrees with them and after that the leaders will begin purging their own people.These people are fascists with the same MO as old-school fascists from the 30s-60s.
Very true. Shiny objects.
Supremacists think that the act of stopping them from abusing and mass-murdering everyone else around is discrimination.And they're the ones who claim they are the victims.
Yeah I think you're right. Some of them are a new form of fascists, for sure, the 3rd and 4th gen like these millenials and GenZers making up the ranks of Proud Boys, neo-Confederates, accelerationists, and other dirty white cons.I think they're a new form of fascists who are better educated, better financed, and more fanatical.

Book banning and book burning are really old-school white conservatism dating back to the Salem Witch Trials and the damn Inquisition.After lawmakers passed a law about how racism was to be taught in Texas schools, Essence Preparatory in San Antonio was sent back to the drawing board.
A planned San Antonio charter school was on the verge of winning final approval from the Texas Education Agency last August when a final set of requests arrived.
Among them: The school needed to scrub its website and application of a quote by “How to Be an Antiracist” author Ibram X. Kendi.
In documents obtained by Chalkbeat, the agency indicated that the proposed school, Essence Preparatory, had included “statements, authors, or written works” violating a new Texas law that limits how race and slavery can be taught. But that law does not bar specific authors, and the quote does not appear to run afoul of any portion of the law, suggesting that Texas has gone beyond the text of the statute to keep schools from referencing an author whose work is controversial.
“This is more clear evidence of what anti-book-banning advocates have been warning for months now,” said James Tager, research director of PEN America, a group that opposes censorship. “It is going to be used — and, in fact, is being used in cases like this — to ban specific books or authors.”
Essence Prep’s experience sheds new light on how laws opposing “critical race theory” are being used and interpreted behind the scenes. Texas’ enforcement also had practical consequences for the school, costing it both money and time.
“That took almost three months away from us in prepping and setting the stage for the scholars that we will serve,” said founder Akeem Brown. “We’re playing catch-up.”
Brown, who is Black, had long dreamed of starting his own school. While working for a city council member in San Antonio, he saw the area’s anemic college-readiness rate and began talking to parents and students about what they wanted to see in a school.

Who's qualified? - archive.org
Ms. Guinier, the Bennett Boskey professor of law emerita at Harvard Law School, where she was the first woman of color granted tenure, was 71 and died of complications from Alzheimer’s disease.
After serving as a special assistant in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division during the Carter administration, Ms. Guinier worked for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, where she headed the voting rights project. In 1988, she joined the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where she became a tenured professor.
She was a daughter of Ewart Guinier, the first chairman of Harvard’s Department of Afro-American Studies, and Eugenia Paprin Guinier, who was known as Genii. Ms. Guinier’s mother was a civil rights activist, a speech therapist, and a high school English teacher.
In 1986, Ms. Guinier married Nolan Bowie, a lawyer who is a fellow emeritus at the Kennedy School of Government and had taught at Temple University in Philadelphia.
In a tribute sent to the Harvard Law School community, John F. Manning, the law school’s dean, wrote that Ms. Guinier’s “scholarship changed our understanding of democracy – of why and how the voices of the historically underrepresented must be heard and what it takes to have a meaningful right to vote. It also transformed our understanding of the educational system and what we must do to create opportunities for all members of our diverse society to learn, grow, and thrive in school and beyond.”

People like Lani Gunier are cases in point that conservative whites are lying when they prattle on about "merit" and "qualifications."
