Goofing on Joan Walsh for Saying She Knows More About African-American History Than the Average White Person
— Ace

What provoked Joan Walsh's self-brag, I don't know. But every progressive is about one synapse-firing away from bragging about themselves and denigrating others.

Said earlier: I know more than the average white person about Af-Am history, which only ensures that I know less than I think I do.

You *are* the average white person RT @joanwalsh I know more than the average white person about Af-Am history

20 Well.... if she knows African American History.... Then she should REALLY hate Arabs (as they were the perpetrators of much of slavery in Africa)... And should LOVE Republicans.... as they were the ones who ended slavery, gave Blacks the vote, and voted in the Civil Rights Act... (over 80% of Repubs voted for it).

23 I just love the assumption that she can't know lots about it because she's white. Really? Facts about another race just bounce off people's heads? It's because it's all about feeeeelings, I know.

27 Sadly, most of these comments are written through the lens of white privilege. Ms. Walsh was simply noting that her understanding of African-American history brought her to the realization that such suffering was beyond her ken. It was an act of humility, not a "brag." Were we all so wise . . .

53 "Shall we begin the self-flagellation? Or maybe we should just off ourselves." You might try some self-examination and introspection. The African-American maid who cleans my dorm room has told me about her difficult life and the challenges she faces, and I consider her a friend. I once offered to give her a ride in my car. However, I cannot and will not claim to fully appreciate her suffering, born of both history and prejudice.

63 In the context of world history, which I know far more of than Joan Walsh, black history in America is a minor topic, so I see no particular reason why knowing it would matter any more than knowing the history of slavery in ancient Babylon. A large proportion of the stupidity of people like Walsh is inherent in the fact that they seem to think enslaving blacks in America was some kind of uniquely terrible act when it was actually par for the course at the time and pretty much yawn-worthy in that respect.

Updated the thing in 2007 "extra innings" in which he makes a big deal of the healing part baseball played in the aftermath of 9-11...you know what he left out? Yep. Bush throwing the ball right down the middle to open up the first game in NY. Goddamn puke acted like it never happened. So fucking disingenuous and vile.

153 Via Wall Street Journal: The Department of Health and Human Services is going to replace Verizon Communications Inc.Â’s Terremark subsidiary as its Web hosting provider for the federal health-insurance marketplace, according to people familiar with the matter, presenting a new challenge to the troubled rollout of the Obama administrationÂ’s signature health-care initiative. HHS will not renew its contract with Terremark and instead awarded a new contract over the summer to Hewlett-Packard Co. to host the website, said the people. Oh yeah great move?

161 Value of social media is that the thoughts of libs, which previously would have only been shared w like-minded dolts, is now shouted to the world. And, in doing so, hammers home how beyond stupid they are. Do they even read this crap they type before they tweet, or do they consider their thoughts so special they just fire away?

Posted by: NeverEvermore at November 27, 2013 02:06 PM (hRV3r)

162 I just never like segregating things like schools, neighborhoods, theatres, or American History. Joan thinks differently. That's the difference between normal Americans and leftists. We don't have the wish nor the time to segregate anything - but that's all they do.

163 "70 simplemind, I am just trying to open some eyes here. My sociology professor, who is a Latino, told us that a society grounded in the denial of historical perspective cannot survive. And he lets us hang with him for beers sometimes, and at times we all feel a sense of community.

Posted by: Carlos at November 27, 2013 05:43 PM (ytax "

If man is an "historical animal", which he is, then there is simply no way for a society NOT to be grounded in 'historical perspective'. The question is which of the nearly-infinite ways in which a society can be so grounded will a particular society choose.

If your agreement with your sociology professor's take on "historical perspective" can survive you reading Nietzsche's "On the Use and Abuse of History for Life", then your opinion on the matter might be worth something.
