Concerning the subject of slavery and the oppression of black people. From the deletion of the roles prominate black men have played in America's history, The nature and life of slavery, to the reason the civil war was fought, to the civil rights movement to today's feign for 'justice'. But rather than incite racial/religious tension He is trying to diffuse it.
Where is the problem in that?
Wait, so president Obama does it and he's a dangerous idiot, but the pope does it and he's just trying to diffuse tension?
Aren't you the one that's always screaming about what a danger Islam is? How come you're not calling Francis a "douchebag" like you would anyone here if they said the same thing?
You (not surprisingly) misunderstand.
I am not blaming obama for deleting black history, nor rewriting American History. I am saying there is a movement in the US to re-frame the suffering of black people at the hands of whites. A perfect example of this is the movie Selma. (about the March MLKjr did in the town of Selma and the police went nuts beating people to death.)
In the movie MLK and President Johnson were at constant odds, when in fact Johnson was an avid supporter of MLKjr and his non-violent approach, and supported this MLK march into Selma and every other protest he organized.
But again, History was changed in the minds of the people through this particular movie. Just like when "roots" portrayed all plantation owners as being what we currently think of plantation owners.. and why most of you are so adminate that all slavery is akin to the chattel slavery depicted in that movie...
Again not saying this was the work of obama. or any other one man. This is what we as a country wants to believe about our past, and we are changing documented history in the hearts and minds of our people through artistic expression like these movies and unchecked violence.
Now as far as Islam is concerned, The pope is trying to diffuse racial religious tension concerning Islam in the hearts and minds of those in whom he leads... Which is consistent with the revelation prophesy concerning the unification of the world under one perverse religion...
So Again, what is wrong with that? Isn't that what you all want?
