what the fuck are they going to ultimately say the underground railroad was? What will they say it was helping who escape? THIS WHOLE THING IS STUPID!
It was a fun place people could pretend to be trains! Choo chooo!!
Hey man, get with the times, that name makes Hesgeth angy
Enola still sounds a bit woman-y. Maybe replace it with something manly like Donald.
The Enola Gay becomes the Elon Straight!
Or, to be the correct amount of condescending and dehumanizing, the “Elon Normal.”
No way would they put up anything that suggested someone could be trains.
These are the same folks that say the civil war was fought for "states rights".
They have no problem with ignoring details.
To be replaced by "Harold Whiteman", a dapper man of Nordic ancestry, who helped white slaves escape from white slavery with the help of the friendly neighborhood watch organization, the KKK!
what are you talking about, the underground railroad has always been the 4/5 subway line in NYC that connects the Trump Building in Wall Street with the Trump Tower in 5th Ave, right?
As if that fuck would ever take the train
This, and all the other sites they've taken down, are meant to be freely accessible to everyone. This is what your taxes actually pay for. The government runs a massive research operation, and library, for everyone. This is a book burning.
They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em.
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally 'round the family...
Then let's find ~~someone~~ something else to burn
"Eliminate DEI content" actually means "government-sponsored open bigotry".
Yeah, this isn’t DEI, and the media needs to call that out.
If by "this," you mean the reference towards Tubman, then you're wrong. Talking about the accomplishments of anyone who isn't a straight white Christian man IS promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion! DEI is a good thing! Opposing it is explicitly racist!
New quote:
"Immigrants mysteriously disappeared from their jobs in the South and reappeared in the North. No women were involved in this process."
All of the workers in the south worked really hard for their boss and earned a promotion and moved into luxury in the north. All of these people were hardworking Americans and none of them were black
And provide some hope? Nah, if they are erasing history then they will just say "No slave ever successfully escaped. They were required by law to be returned if found and the North didn't follow the law. The North, those law breakers, were trying to pick a fight for decades. The Noble South was attacked and lost their righteous cause due to brotherly betrayal."
The white washing is just pathetic. MAGAts a such snowflakes.
This is about flexing their power. They are showing that they won and they are going to force their values down everyone else's throat.
Don't belittle them by calling them pathetic. Call it what it is.
This is fascism.
Fascism is pathetic. It's extremely dangerous and causes massive suffering, but it's also pathetic.

"Yeah, about your pamphlet...I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945."
"Everyone was on vacation."
"What are you talking about, Germany invaded Poland in 1939."
"We were invited! Punch was served. Check with Poland!"
"You can't just ignore those years! Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany!"
"Nope...He left to manage a Dairy Queen!"
"A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous!"
"I will hear NO MORE insinuations about the German people. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!"
Oh, ok, so now Civilization VII is more historically accurate than the National Park Service. That's... ugh
In other news, Harriet Tubman has been collecting social security for 200 years and her remains have been deported back to her own country of El Salvador.
Jesus fucking Christ
The modern iteration of book burning creates a lot less smoke and noise, so it can fly under the radar.
One of my more fun conspiracies is that we have been going through this cycle for eons. There's no previous record of this beyond myths of giants and angels because eventually society gets so advanced permeant records of its existence cease. Everything is digital. It can be erased with the bat of an eye. This is why all we can find is carvings from the beginning of our iteration with memories from people as to what existed before the crash and then it gets lost. We look at it as myths but maybe they weren't. Maybe they were more advanced than us and pushed back to the stone age.
Wow, I'm so glad I live in this stupid fucking country. 🤦♂️
They're just following orders. Like a good nazi
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
Fucking racists
Holy fucking shit! This is it! I've had it! WTF!!!!!!!
When is the next protest?!
Holy flying fucking Jesus!
They’re reading 1984 and applying the wrong part of it.
Nothing to see here, just a country speed running towards fascism.
I wonder if black republicans will go back to picking cotton in order to own the libs.

I BEG YOUR PARDON...
Proof this trump administration hates black people? I think so.
The articles title is clickbait, they didn't remove the references, they rewrote them.
Edit: I am not denying that it's fucked up that they are touching this part of history, I just thought CNN's title was clickbaity.
They rewrote them in a way to de-emphasize her involvement and contribution and to over emphasize the involvement and contribution of white people. And slavery has also been de-emphasized as well.
It's an attempt to subtly erase black history. This is another white nationalist agenda item Trump's administration is crossing of their to-do list.

At this rate Django Unchained might end up being more historically accurate than our official records..
