Comment on “This script is fantastic. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman.”
FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 1 day agoFirst and foremost, you are side stepping my comment. She ain’t getting “erased.” You could admit to just being wrong there. Instead of moving the goal post.
First link: They are removing DEI stuff from NASA. We do not have to insert DEI into everything if it is not merited. They are not trying to “erase” people from history. DEI is based on political ideology that tends to be performative rather actually useful. Look at all the corporations that claims to support LGBT issues in the USA but say and do nothing in Muslim countries? Why? Because it is all a grift that people in the USA and other countries fall for. Search about the missing money from BLM, Something like half of the 90+ million is just gone. Mostly in houses, salaries to friends, family and crazy lifestyles, ttavelling. Up here in Toronto, the head of BLM embezzled like $100,000 from York University. Then claimed racism when they took her to court, backtracked that claim the day before the court date and said she would try to pay it back as a way to avoid possible jail. Merited credit is good, Tubman is not going anywhere.
Second link: They are returning the stuff to their rightful owners. They could just donate the items, if they wanted to and care so much about the history. As they claim. . If it was part of the collection it would be on display.

That’s not even close to a thought out response, just reactive defense of the current administration fascistic policies and desire to erase history.
Is it normal that they are removing women from military history?
Does the boot leather taste that great?

Source of your link:
“One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details that have not been made public, said the purge could delete as many as 100,000 images or posts in total, when considering social media pages and other websites that are also being culled for DEI content. The official said it’s not clear if the database has been finalized.”
Do you have an actual source and not fear mongering? I think you seem to lack understanding on what “erasure,” actually means. No one is hiding or destroying anything.
Also, what you are saying is that I was correct with Tubman or you are still cannot admit to being wrong or are you going to just move the goal post again, Friend? As hominems just prove my point, as you would not resort to those.
I maen, people can down vote me all they want, but we both know you were wrong. LOL

You really don’t think the American administration is trying to erase the contributions of Tubman and other black people? Since you’re so well informed, I’d genuinely like to hear what you think their aims are.
PS. I’m also sceptical that the American right wing can accomplish everything they want from project 2025. But even attempting is chilling, and they really do have a lot of momentum. Good people are naturally nervous about that, since the official opposition is not, IMO, ideologically equipped to combat them.

It is quite impressive that you think that anyone who disagrees with you is automatically a MAGA supporter. Tell me friend, is a MAGA supporter in the same room where you are at, can other people see them, or just you? Or do you think they just humouring you? Or do they just live rent free in your head 24/7?
Is a Pizza slice with anchovies a Facist pizza just because you may not like anchovies?
