moments ago, @SenateMajLdr McConnell on #Reparations: "I don't want reparations for something that happened 150 years ago...we've tried to deal with the original sin of slavery by passing civil rights legislation and electing an African American president...."
"...no one currently alive (was a slave) ...and we wouldn't even know whom to compensate" more @SenateMajLdr asked about #Reparations

Today I'm going to be looking at the racism in the homeschool curriculum I grew up with, specifically racism as it pertains to US history.
You can find part one of this series here, where I look at the general racism I was taught, in missions, etc.
#ExposeChristianHomeschooling
All of the material I'm covering today comes from the ATI wisdom booklets. You can find a scanned archive of them here:
homeschoolersanonymous.org/2015/05/31/wis…
I want to repeat my disclaimer: My goal is NOT to entertain you. My goal is to expose the racism that I was indoctrinated with from birth, the racism that is pervasive in Christian homeschooling materials, so you can gain with a better understanding of what we're up against.

GP This tweet tugged out something that's been gnawing at me about politics for the last decade or so that I could never fully or adequately explain. Hang in there with me. We're going threading.
GP Oh, and up front, h/t to @PalimpsestMan who got me thinking about it with one of his responses to a different tweet.
GP Both parties, but moreso Democrats, treat every issue as if it were a survival-critical issue, no matter how mundane. Every issue is cast as "war" or "civil rights," actual existential struggles.

Today, Alhamdulillah, the award I wrote about two weeks ago, which had been previously rescinded was reinstated.
(This is good news. It won’t go viral the way the bad news did without some intentionality. So I’m asking for your help. Please share this if it resonates, if it gives you hope, if it makes you smile, and if this is what you believe reconciliation should look like.)
Later this year, I will InshaAllah accept an award from PACT for my work in the community.

BLACK CONSERVATIVE
@blackrepublican
Early Signs of Trouble - A History of #WhiteSupremacy at First Baptist Church (Dallas).

How a #Dallas church with a history of oppposing civil rights for African Americans formed a long and toxic relationship with the Republican Party. #maga #blackconservatives #BlackTwitter
“In 1956, the Supreme Court had recently struck down school segregation in the Brown v. Board of Education case. President Eisenhower had sponsored sweeping civil rights legislation.”
Dr. King was organizing bus boycotts. Pressure was building against segregation across the South. At that time, there may have been no more influential figure in the Southern Baptist Convention than W.A. Criswell, the pastor of the enormous First Baptist Church in Dallas.
