@Mason15638412 #AuburnWorldHistory I can always appreciate the acceptance of wrong doing

It's a horrific tragedy that education was /is associated with a greedy, evil business like human chattel enslavement, and facing that truth is something that definitely ought to be undertaken whenever possible/necessary.

The idea of a university acknowledging its own history, regardless of image, seems a logical step in making up for its own shortcomings, and an open, honest discussion with each other is the best way to go about it.

I knew Stephen Douglas was responsible for half of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, but I did not know much more about him, or his association with an antebellum Democratic Party.

[Mason @Mason15638412]

@NoahWat86619197 I can probably agree with that. Property in a Democracy/economic nation is a helpful commodity, especially when you aren't unnecessarily restricted in owning it.

It seems we, as humans, always build things that perpetuate themselves, compounding their usefulness to the ones who possess influence. This breeds discontent, sometimes envy, and the little person can get lost in the weeds of restricted class mobility.

[Mason @Mason15638412]

@carolhist1020 seems like BS, but maybe class struggles aren't as clear-cut as they used to be. A well-developed middle class could maybe cover up some of the darker aspects of opportunistic capitalism and social mobility.

The idea neoliberalism causes mirrored opposition seems viable. I feel like the only way to avoid diametric opposition is to find commonalities and empathy for individuals and society at large, concurrently.

"I think we’re seeing a regionalization of global power structures within the state system..."

I agree with this. As shared technological developments increase, so does State shoring of power and regional identity.

[Mason @Mason15638412]

@LieberAU That's just how something like war is calculated by the guys in charge. Save their own bacon and maybe try to save the rest of us if they can swing it.

The most unrealistic part of Dr. Strangelove was the fact General Ripper was holding the hot barrel of a .50 cal machine gun while firing it. The toxic masculinity-fueled conspiracies of war and communist subterfuge are pretty spot on for a modern world.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room!"

[Mason @Mason15638412]

#AuburnWorldHistory
I'm surprised I had never seen Dr. Strangelove before. General Ripper's choice to institute attack wing R in the first 30 minutes reflects true existential fear in the face of an enemy too terrible to comprehend: total annihilation by scientific advancement.

The fact remains that anyone who speaks out against historical injustice will be hindered by those who wish to bury it.

It is undeniable that colonialism permanently and radically stunted the natural proliferation of African civilization. The questions remains: what could have been if not for human evil?

@KeishaBlain Your essay is truly a master work, Ma'am, I'm glad to have read it!

[Mason @Mason15638412]

#AuburnWorldHistory
The title of the assigned YT video is a bit interesting, but the speech Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao gave presents a deep understanding of the colonialism that altered the direction of her continent.

Mrs. Blaine's essay analyzes the religiously vitriolic identifiers attributed to people of color and the purposefully divisive rhetoric garnered by these beliefs.

The coalescence of feminism and racial unity is strong in Mrs. Keisha Blaine's essay, and her tone denotes a firm determination to make a better world.
