So you're going to double down with the sweeping generalizations?

I was born in Mississippi, my family is from an area where there are no whites, and never have I heard of anyone being taught to hate whites.

BTW you totally avoided addressing my point to talk some nonsense.

Well a lot of black people commit reverse murder and kill white people.

That action reflected the importance of the book.

That is simply false.

Quote:The second of the top three myths about Congress and the Bible involves the edition of the Bible begun by Robert Aitken in 1780, and completed in 1782.

• According to William Federer, in his book America’s God and Country: “Robert Aitken (1734-1802), on January 21, 1781, as publisher of The Pennsylvania Magazine, petitioned Congress for permission to print Bibles, since there was a shortage of Bibles in America due to the Revolutionary War interrupting trade with England. The Continental Congress, September 10, 1782, in response to the shortage of Bibles, approved and recommended to the people that The Holy Bible be printed by Robert Aitken of Philadelphia. This first American Bible was to be ‘a neat edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools’:
  • Whereupon, Resolved, That the United States in Congress assembled...recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorize [Robert Aitken] to publish this recommendation in any manner he shall think proper.”

Elsewhere in the same book, Federer includes a second version of the story, in which Aitken was “contracted” by Congress to print his Bibles.

• According to Federer: “Congress of the Confederation September 10, 1782, in response to the need for Bibles which again arose, granted approval to print ‘a neat edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools.’ The printing was contracted to Robert Aitken of Philadelphia, a bookseller and publisher of The Pennsylvania Magazine, who had previously petitioned Congress on January 21, 1781.”

There are many versions of this story floating around, all worded to mislead that Congress either requested the printing of the Bibles, granted Aitken permission to print them, contracted him to print them, paid for the printing, or had Bibles printed for the use of schools. Congress did none of these things. All they did was grant one of several requests made by Aitken by having their chaplains examine his work, and allowing him to publish their resolution stating that, based on the chaplains’ report, they were satisfied that his edition was accurate …The actual resolution is edited in various ways. The purpose of this editing is to omit that Congress also had a secular reason for recommending Aitken’s Bible, and, in most cases, to turn the resolution into a recommendation of the Bible itself, rather than a recommendation of the accuracy of Aitken’s work.

And you're right, better the vermin you can see than the ones who skulk.

Don't worry, if a black person happens to kill a white person, it is ok for them. However, should it be a white guy killing a black, then they get on their proverbial soapboxes. I don't want to say it but I will. I just hope that a black doesn't do anything bad to any of these people i.e. steal their cars, steal their motorbikes, beats them up on the street. What would they do then, just say "yo homie, don't worry about it, it wasn't your fault that you stole my car/stole my motorbike/beat me up on the street, it was Donald Trumps fault." Because they haven't got the bollocks to stand up for themselves. In fact, I am pretty sure that if a black went up to them and shouted "boo", they shit their pants.

Quote:While the avenues for his message have multiplied, the themes of Barton’s work are the same today as they were in 1995. Barton peddles the proposition that America is a Christian nation, legally and historically. He asserts that the principle of church-state separation, while not in the Constitution, has systematically been used to rule religion out of the public arena, particularly the public school system. His presentation has just enough ring of truth to make him credible to many people. His work, however, is laced with exaggerations, half-truths and misstatements of fact.
