We don't bother much with complaints from nameless guests.

Even if they're germane, timely, and spot-on & irrefutable. I know, Joe. Shooting the messenger is a time-honored Mudcat tradition - in the name of "fairness" I suppose- the same mistake mainstream media has made for the last three decades. Waaay past time to call racism racism and a lie a lie.

No Joe, you're not wiping it away, instead you're providing a soapbox and a forum for the dissemination of racism and white supremacy -and thus you're part of the problem perpetuating systemic racism in this country.

And you're wrong again- those opposing the boogie man of "critical race theory" are not simply trying to "cover up" the ugliness- they're actively supporting a bogus counter theory that is entirely devoid of fact.

For your info, the "Lost Cause" and the myths about Reconstruction are STILL being taught in schools in Texas, Alabama,Arkansas ans several other states of the Old Confederacy.

So do keep your head in the sand, Joe. Converesly, you could grow a set of balls and do the right thing.
