The @NAACP studied and exposed biases in textbooks in the 1930s & 1940s, and again in the 1960s. Their initial study, particularly the work of Helen Boardman, was the foundation for #WEBDuBois' Black Reconstruction chapter, “The Propaganda of History.”
@NAACP "Anti-Negro propaganda in history textbooks used by New York City schools is fostering, intolerant attitudes and impressions among students, according to a survey released by..." @NAACP - 1945
@NAACP Flint, MI @NAACP Youth Council studied textbooks in 1965

"Although distortion of the truth is the most obvious cause for concern, the devastating effect of the inadequacies of the textbooks on the Negro students' desire to learn seems
more important..." (p. 1)

@SteveKingIA Once again Steve King feigns shock that he would be called a white nationalist/white supremacist while spewing racist rhetoric. He continues to follow in the long line US politicians, see comments by Sen Morgan, Helms, Thurmond & more overtime. 1/3
@SteveKingIA For a quick refresher course on white nationalist ideas found in American History read the following and so much more 2/3
@SteveKingIA One final suggestion, read Kelly Miller's classic 1905 response to Thomas Dixon. Still a lot to learn! 3/3 archive.org/stream/astoleo…

Part 1 - Optimal Nutrition Vs Vaccines 2 Protect Against Infectious Disease

The topic of vax’s is an entirely reductive 1. Whether ur pro- or anti-vax, it’s likely u fall into the trap 2 argue 4 or against vax’s like it’s the only game in town.

1
Vaccines are not only the most divisive issue of our times, it also tends to dominate the health conversation wrt infectious diseases. How did micronutrients get pushed aside?

Well it may have something to do w/food & supplements not being “patentable”.

2
The supplement industry is a multi-billion $ biz whereas the pharma/vax industry is a trillion $ biz. Big Pharma dominates ad budgets, politicians in Congress & has successfully established group think wrt vax’s & infectious disease.

I’ve never been a fan of group think.

Again, for anyone asking about the Jack3d formula I have
Removed the last tweet where I mentioned "Test".

Some idiots think I take it for Testosterone levels. So removed that tweet & tweeted it again without Test.

Don't wanna explain 100 times that I don't take it for testosterone levels and have to explain what PCT is etc
I could have known it has DMAA in it without reading the label.

When I came home I got horny. You know that adderall, concerta, ritalin horny

Again, just clarifying here, because Court Jester is avoiding work.

A teenage boy went to school one normal morning and several hours later was brought of that building by SWAT officers because of a shooting which had wounded or killed 34 of his classmates.
These students, when being brought to safety - a safety that until an hour before, they assumed they could expect in their school - were told not to look as they were taken through hallways where their classmates and friends were lying dead. One girl reported slipping in blood.
I looked up "Vitriol."

I wonder if that's what you meant, because the word "Vitriol" has an implication of unjustified and petty feelings. A synonym of vitriol is "Cattiness." This isn't a person putting up an unflattering picture of him online.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
