It's almost like you can set a clock to it.

Just missing void bogie and Ghot.

Who are you talking to?

Himself. He's just framing his lack of an argument around the notion that everyone else is dishonest.

The Democrats are acting like a crazy cat lady that has been plotting divorce for ten years.

During the divorce proceedings they are going to make up stories about abuse because the lawyer told them to.

I thought it was to withhold federal funds which is why it reminded me of what u were talking about

Fun fact: had there been no 3/5ths compromise and slaves counted as a full person for the purpose of seat apportionment, the power of the Southern states in American politics would have been higher, and the Southern Bloc would have had an outright majority in many situations. The entire politics of the United States would have shifted in favor of the interest of the slave states. And it were indeed the Southern states which were arguing in favor of full counting of slaves during the Constitutional Convention while the Northern states were the ones arguing they should not be counted.

Without the 3/5ths compromise, it would either have taken several extra decades before the issue blows over and is resolved via civil war; or the North would have had enough much earlier, at a time when its industrialization and population growth were not advanced enough to actually win the war, leaving a split of the union or a loss/draw in a premature civil war the most likely outcome.





So in historical context, the Northern states were the ones pushing for the 3/5ths compromise as an act of defense against the slave states seizing even more disproportionate power. Setting aside all complicated historical context to arrive at an undifferentiated conclusion that "the Constiution is fundamentally racist" does very little to understand the evolution of the Constitution, the historical, legal and political battle over slavery, racism and civil rights in America.

In spite of all the progress that has been made, in spite of America today being magnitudes less racist than the America of the 18th and 19th century, these programs would plant the idea that America still is rotten and racist to its core in the malleable minds of young people, poisoning race relations and subverting national unity. That's a dangerous path leading backward, not forward.

You are operating under the assumption that the government has an obligation to fund schools and colleges irrespective of the content of what is actually taught there. That's obviously not true, at least on a philosophical/moral level. The state funds public education to serve a purpose, to teach its next generation accurate knowledge about, among other things, the history of the nation and how it turned into the country it is today. It serves to form the students and turn them into enlightened, civic minded young people (not BLM-acolytes).

When teachers and professors abandon this part of their job description and instead indoctrinate their students with a perspective which is, to quote renowned and generally liberal-leaning historians, "wrong in so many ways" and an "unbalanced, one-sided account that leaves most of history out", they cease doing the job the state is paying them for.
