Re: Wanker gets it wrong AGAIN. (Some Pesky Details For Nicky)

The origins of Mother’s Day

Although Jarvis is widely credited as the holiday’s founder, others had floated the idea earlier — with a different agenda in mind, according to National Geographic. The poet and author Julia Ward Howe (pictured here) had aimed to promote a Mothers’ Peace Day decades before. For her and the antiwar activists who agreed with her position — including Jarvis’ own mother — the idea of Mother’s Day should spread unity across the globe in the wake of so much trauma following the Civil War in America and Franco-Prussian War in Europe.
From National Geographic:
Mother’s Day was initially launched by antiwar activists in 1872. Julia Ward Howe, better remembered for writing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," advocated a Mothers’ Peace Day on which pacifist women would gather in churches, social halls, and homes to listen to sermons or essays, sing, and pray for peace
As far as Black participation in the Civil War goes, I think you either missed Willy’s point or got it and deflected.

The Civil War was the deadliest war in US history. 620,000 white men gave up their lives so that black people could be free. I’m sure they appreciate that sacrifice. The war was so deadly it cost the US 2% of it’s entire population. Men starving on the battlefield. Limbs getting amputated to treat war wounds. School houses converted to hospitals. Thousands of dead left on the battlefield in unmarked graves. Men who never got to see their families again. It’s so nice that black people appreciate this great sacrifice.  

 
Imagine of half a million Koreans gave up their lives to free Somalians. Or a half a million Italians giving up their lives to free Indonesians. Or a half a million Russians giving up their lives to free the Irish. I don’t think anything like that has ever happened. I’m sure glad blacks appreciate this great sacrifice.  

 
After the Civil War we did in fact create a holiday. It was said all the grieving mothers who had lost their sons in the war should get a holiday. We ended up calling it Mother’s Day. Forgotten is the reason for this, we instead give old women flowers to help them celebrate their own narcissism, forgetting that the holiday is really about the sheer brutality of 620,000 men who died on a battlefield. The humanity of men is always given the least thought, the last consideration, and the last care in the world. But this year, I will remember the sacrifice of some of the greatest Americans who ever lived who gave up their lives to preserve our Union.

1) Memorial Day was originally created to honor Civil War dead. It was later expanded to included the dead of all US wars.
2) Blacks DID fight for their own freedom in the Civil War. More than 200,000 blacks served in the Union Army and Navy and nearly 70,000 died. Wanker might want to watch the movie "Glory" that memorializes one of the most famous regiments, the 54th Massachusetts.
Wanker is a toxic ignoramus.
How many more things has Wanker posted here that are outright WRONG?

Show the class where Wanker mentioned (or even just implied) that Blacks served in the Civil War. He did neither. His clear implication was that Blacks benefited from the War and simply stood by waiting to be emancipated. By supporting him YOU are the one deflecting. Which makes you almost as big a racist as Wanker.
Interesting info about Howe though quite tangential, though it did give you an opportunity to deflect my main point which was about Black service in the Civil War.

Just like a few retarded lesbian midgets have managed to land planes upside down. These minor and unimportant details should not distract from the larger point being made. By all right, this holiday should have been named White Males Saved America Day.

That said, Wanker is totally deluded when he says "a few blacks fought." In fact it was more than 200,000 which is TEN PERCENT of the Union's soldiers. Blacks comprised 16% of the pre-war US population but many of them were still held as slaves in the Southern states and had no opportunity to serve.
Oh, did I mention that Wanker is a troll?
A racist troll.

16% of the prewar population and 99% of which lived in the south. Blacks would by and large be non-existent in the north until the mid 20th century.

See what Nicky is doing here. Even with over a half a million white men die, Nicky want to give blacks the credit for what was accomplished with their sacrifice.

Also a liar. He implies I want to give blacks ALL the credit which, of course, I never said. I simply believe they deserve SOME of the credit.
Wanker is simply deflecting from the fact that he wants to give blacks NONE of the credit.

Fine, I propose we change the name of the holiday to White Males Saved America Day Plus An Insignificant Number Of Blacks. Just doesn't have the same ring as the previous title, but oh well.

Re: Nicky's never seen a hair that he didn't want to split.
It’s like he latches onto something like a dog and can’t let go of it! I could go on about his NPD causing this becuse he HASTA BE RIGHT DAMN IT!!!

Anyway

With out the abolition movement and Abraham Lincoln’s stead fast resolve to reunite and maintain the union. Human history would be very different.  

PS I’m all about reparations for slavery. Show me a slave from the confederate states of America and I say set em up for life!!!

It must make him feel so stupid.
As for reparations, I used to feel the same way. Then I learned that Blacks have suffered for years since emancipation from discrimination that has caused endemic losses like lower wages, red-lining and outright confiscation. So in my mind the problem is not whether reparations are called for. It's how to do it in a way that's fair to everyone.

Never mind that it’s just trying to use white guilt to justify welfare, but I agree massive reparations need to be paid…by blacks to white Americans. Cities use to be safe clean places where you could raise white children. Now they’re crime ridden drug infested hell holes. Places like Detroit used to be known as the Paris of the Americas. Now it’s a shit hole. Without blacks the murder rate in the USA would be 60% lower, despite that they’re only 13% of the population. We started letting in a ton of blacks into schools like Harvard and instead of getting educated blacks we got a university in shambles. Blacks owe massive reparations to whites, but they can never repay it.

The left has been saying for the last 20 years, “black people can’t be racist.”

 
Kanye West then puts out a single that’s quickly becoming a hit called, “Heil Hitler”.  

 
The left: “That’s racist.”

 
lol.

In case anyone forgot, this is the guy who cheered as BLM burned down buildings.  
This is the guy who praised the BLM riots as they destroyed small business,  especially those that were owned by white business owners.  
This is the guy who raised his feeble arms in support of defending the police.  

How am I not at ALL surprised he called someone a racist. You want racist, see boobsman. You want anti American liar, see ickybiden.

Show the board where I "cheered as BLM burned down buildings." Never happened.
Show the board where I  praised ANY riots. Never happened.
Show the board where I supported defunding the police. You can't.
Yes, The SPOAT is not only terminally stupid, he is a Living, Lying Piece of Shit.

viz: "BLM burned down half the country." No one did that. What happened was bad but it wasn't even close to half the country. So please don't lecture this board on the truth.
What I DID say (several times) was BLM as a whole did not start fires or riots. SOME BLM member clearly did do that but not ALL the rioters were even BLM members. But people like you and The SPOAT can't deal with these not-so-subtle distinctions. So you brand ALL BLM members as rioters and people who make these distinctions are supporters of riots.
And THAT is a blatant LIE.
And now.....
