It's terrifying, huh.

Why is it people can immediately see this is terrifying, but when you tell them that white Southerners were terrified by this in 1865 they say "no, that's not terrifying, illiterate people can run the government, Southerners were just racists, that's all".

Americans CANCELLED an entire school of history - the Dunning School - for reporting and documenting that the former slaves who were put in control of the South in 1865 were illiterate and incompetent. Academic historians said "that's racist".

Now you study Marxist history.

Yet when an ignorant black person is put in charge of law enforcement today everyone gets terrified. You can easily see the problem when it happens to you, but you believe if it happens to the South they're meant to just cope and not complain because complaining is racist.

Grok says it's not true, blacks were not illiterate and ignorant, that was racism.

This is what counts as "history", you see it in all the history books taught in schools.

You can't hide the truth, you teach lies but people have eyes to see for themselves what's what.

I cornered Grok on this before, it says it's not true blacks were illiterate, when you ask were slaves taught to read it says no, you say so they were illiterate, it pivots to "thank you for the opportunity to clarify. To clarify, illiteracy doesn't mean incompetence"

"Scholarly consensus": do not believe your lying eyes. Read the books we're writing for you and don't ask questions.

Just to add, in the Reconstruction South it wasn't just the odd Sheriff that was like this.

It was ALL the law enforcement. White Southerners were not permitted to serve as law enforcement, owing to being "rebels" and refusing to sign the lie that they were sorry for rebelling.

White Southerners were being PUNISHED for rebelling against the North.

"Well, if you're going to be like that and not say sorry, we're putting blacks in charge of all your governments. See how you like that."
