Hillsdale has admitted minority students since it was founded in the 1840s by abolitionists. As usual, Little Bobbie's narrative does not fit the real facts

Why do so many of our colleges and universities exhibit this despicable Soviet mentatlity?

Soros, father and son, are adjuncts of the Democrat Party in the US and the globalist totalitarian movement around the world. Alexander Soros has met Biden regime figures at the White HOuse dozens of times. They are joined at the hip. The Foreign Minister of Israel was spot on when he described Soros as "a threat to democracy".

How about Fauxahuntus, the Massachusetts senator, Elizabeth Warren, who claimed to be part Cherokee to advance herself in academia, but when she was finally shamed into taking a DNA test, that proved to be an absolute lie. She was zero percent Cherokee.

Don't confuse Little Bobbie with facts because his little mind is already made up.

Those tainted with this corrupt gambling money need primaries to replace them as GOP nominees. One of the top recipients of this crooked money is RINO State Senator Jim Perry who represents Lenoir, Craven, and Beaufort counties. He needs to GO.

Here is how bad the Orwellian attacks on free speech are getting. In the UK, an elected Conservative local government official was arrested for "hate speech" over re-posting comments from others supporting FREE SPEECH. So supporting free speech is now regarded as "hate speech". "Hate speech" is a term used by totalitarians who hate FREE SPEECH.

Bobbie reminds me of Biden when he said "we support truth over facts". You see, for the far left "Truth" is about their political narrative, not about what actual happened.

Almost all historic monuments to our Confederate ancestors were privately funded. The taxpayer money is being spent by the far left to try to destroy them. The Arlington Cemetery monument is no exception. The War Between the States was NOT a holocaust.

The usual suspect in gas price gouging, Speedway, has jacked their price up again this afternoon to $3.59, about 15 cents increase from where they were. No one else seems to have followed yet, so it is a good time to fill up. Murphy's Express is at $3.43, and the 76 Station on Bridge Street at $3.42. Duck Thru is at $3.44, but if you have their discount card, that makes it $3.39, as of right now the best price in town, and 20 cents a gallon less than Speedway.

"Inability to accept that he lost an election" is a "crime"??? In which banana repurlic? All of the election manipulations by the Democrats using Covid as an excuse, made 2020 one of the most questionable elections in our history.

But lets look at other examples. In 2000 Al Gore and the Democrats claimed the election was stolen, as did Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election. The Gore - Lieberman ticket was labelled "Sore - Loserman" by some Republicans. Since 2018, failed Georgia gubenatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and many of her Democrat supporters claimed she really won that election. None of these people were ever charged for their claims.

Still stuck on ignorence, racism, and distortion are you, Bigot Bob? The only slaves documented to go into combat were two or three slaves belonging to General Nathan Bedford Forrest who he had brought to camp as servants, and who asked to be allowed to go into battle. They fought so well, that Gereral Foreest immediately gave them their freedom, and they then enlisted in the Confederate cavalry. One of the leading Confederate generals in the Trans-Mississippi Department (west of the Mississippi river) urged the Confederate government to formally offer slaves their freedom if they enlisted in the Confederate army, but the government never agreed to that. Other than General Forrest's slaves, the black men in the Confederate army and navy were all free blacks who fought to defend their homeland like other southerners. In 1861, twenty percent of Southern blacks were free blacks and about ten percent of them owned slaves themselves. The military pension records of southern states several decades later show thousands of black men drawing Confederate military pensions.

Your ignorance knows no bounds, Bolshevik Bob. Twenty percent of southern blacks in 1861 were free blacks, and ten percent of free blacks owned slaves themsellves. Indeed the percentage of slave ownership was somewhat higher among free blacks than among southern whites. In Beaufort County, there were two main communities of free blacks in 1861, Keysville, north of Washington, and a farming area of small farms east of Bath. Some were quite succesful in beuiness such as the free black man who owned a shipyard on the Washington waterfront. You are the one putting black people down by writing them off as all being slaves. They weren't.

A remember an article in Confederate Veteran magazine some years ago profiling one black Confederate hero, Moses Dallas, who prior to the war had been a free black man with a lucrative and challenging occupation as a river pilot guiding ships in and out of the port of Savannah. When the War Between the States came, Dallas enlisted in the Confederate navy and received an officer's commission. He was serving on the ironclad CSS Savannah, flagship of the Savannah squadron, when he and other officers on that warship decided to take the battle to the yankee blackade in an unconventinal way. With his detailed knowledge of the river and estuary, Dallas was one of the principle planners. They picked out a yankee warship on blockade duty, the USS Waterwitch, and romwed out in three small boats, boarding and capturing it in a surprise night time attack. It was the only capture of an enemy warship by boarding from small boats in the whole course of the war. Unfortunately, Dallas, who commanded one of the boats was killed in action before the ship was subdued.

Since regiments were organized on both sides by states rather than national governments, policies on free blacks serveing in the Confederate army varied somewhat by state. One very unfortunate example was in Louisiana, where the free black community organized a regiment for Confederate service when the war broke out but were turned down by the state government. Insulted by that rejection, after the nankees captured New Orleans, they offered their regiment to the north, which accepted their service.

Your narrative is not based on history. It is based on ideoloy, Bolshevik Bob, and it is totally ignorant.

You do not seem to get what that black professor in Florida, which you blame on deSantis, was saying. Even in something that is overwhelmingly bad, like slavery, there may be a few aspects that are positive. Those do not change the overall situation that it is overwhelmingly bad, but it takes real tunnel vision not to even recognize those aspects. To give another example, while a hurricane is overwhelmingly bad, it may bring enough water to end a drought. That does not make the hurricane good, but only someone with tunnel vision would not recognize there might be some smasll benefit.

That is really rich! A pro-China loony left internet troll calling a bunch of scientists, including two Nobel prize winning scientists liars on a statement within their area of expertise. Contradicting the globalist political narrative does not make something untrue, Little Bobbie.

You continue to misattribute that statement and take it out of context. Of course, there were lightyears more detriments to slavery than benefit, and in the whole it was, every aspect considered, an extrenekt negative experience, but this black educator who wrote that statement is right that there were a few benefits involved, too. You progs distort the black educator's statement by falsely portraying that he said slavery was overall a benefit. Of course, it wasn't, and nobody in Florida government has said it was. This is just a typical distortion by the left.

You are a moron, Little Bobbie. Do you realize that statement in Florida's curriculum was written by a BLACK education professor, NOT the governor? While in some respects it is probably true, it was not a wise statement to put on paper because the political attacks should have been predicted.
