Every elected Democrat should be asked about this. If the media treated each side fairly, we would be hearing a ton about this and we should.



This is truly insane.

Last census showed about 55K blacks living in SF. The 55K is 6% of the SF population, but is less than half (13%) of what it was in 1970. That puts the cost at about $275B.

This is what happens when the goal stopped being equality… Equity is such a vague undefined and unmeasurable term they can hand black people $5 million paid for by whites and other races of people that all had nothing to do with anything. This would go from paying “taxes” to paying a “penalty” because of your skin tone.

The San Fran recommendation is a political stunt. They KNOW they will never pay $5 mil to those people. It's just a way to say, "Well, we approved it and really think you deserve it, but our political enemies won't let us give you what you deserve." They'll pat themselves on the back for trying and making a hollow gesture, all the while knowing there was never a snowball's chance in hell they'd actually have to follow through and pay out that sort of money.

Disney has struck a huge blow against racism by removing the song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" from its parks. The song is an Academy Award winning tune from Disney's 1946 film "Song Of The South" and has been covered by The Jackson 5 and Louis Armstrong. There's nothing racist about the song itself, but it was featured in a movie that portrayed Blacks in a positive, but somewhat stereotypical light common to that era. Therefore, by association, the song is evil and has to go.


After decades of featuring the song as part of its entertainment experience, the delicate minds of Disney now decided to remove the song because it is too racially insensitive, damaging, not inclusive, or whatever other kind of perpetual victimization some radical leftist somewhere felt it was. The controversy doesn't come from the lyric itself but rather from the film in which the song was featured, "Song of the South," a movie panned for stereotypes of black Americans.

It's the latest example of the depths of Disney's great cultural revolution. Things don't even have to be racist themselves anymore. Now, things can be racist by association or classified as racist adjacent, I suppose. It's a thought process crazier than Disneyland's "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride."

But the only people generally bothered by "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" seemed to be white left-wingers. The song has been around for nearly 80 years and has won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2004, it was ranked 47th by the American Film Institute on a list of the top 100 songs in American cinema of the 20th century.

And while some leftist somewhere would probably rationalize these accolades as a product of white supremacy or other foolish nonsense, the song was recorded and performed by two of the country's most legendary and iconic black musical entertainers, Louis Armstrong in 1966 and the Jackson 5 in 1969.

But this is indicative of the damage caused by left-wing brainwashing. Are we supposed to believe that "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" was so racist, but Louis Armstrong and the Jackson 5 specifically chose to record it anyway? Why is this song triggering people in 2023 but not in the 1960s? Do the white liberals of 2023 think they are morally superior, self-righteous, and more intelligent than black musicians?

Disney has went sideways. All of these type actions they take is strictly to keep the dollars rolling in.

San Francisco is in California. A person’s ancestral enslavement is a component of eligibility. Slavery has never been legal in California. This is dumb…but carry on.

Nothing will come of it. White collar professionals of all political backgrounds are in general masters at creating go nowhere committees and boondoggles that self reinforce the need for their supposed expertise.

1000% spot on. When I was in high school, I could probably make an educated guess as to the political views of 2 or 3 teachers due to their background, but not one, NOT A SINGLE ONE, ever gave any indication of their political views through anything they said or did in class. School was not about indoctrination. It was about history, English, calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, learning to write clearly, and HOW to think like an intelligent person, not WHAT to think like sheep.

In all fairness the elementary through high school history curriculum back in the 70’s and 80’s that I was exposed to was complete bullshit and a wildly inaccurate portrayal of history from a WASP perspective.

What was BS about the curriculums you experienced? I guess I feel pretty lucky with the teachers I had.

The most clear cut and insane example would be the high school history teacher (who also happened to be a local pastor) showing Charlton Heston movies in class on a regular basis as a part of the lesson plan.

On a broader note. Zero lessons on African History, zero on Asian history. The Mongol Empire, the Huns, Hannibal and the Muslim caliphate in present day Spain were barely mentioned and breezed over and were usually presented solely in the context as an antagonist to the Romans/Christians.

Zero lessons on colonization, zero on Persian History and the Middle East in general other than brief mentions of early Mesopotamia and Egypt and zero lessons/discussion on the labor movement in the US.

I mean I could go on for days with this but most notably everything was presented in a white hat/black hat binary with the Europeans and or titans of industry inevitably portrayed as “the good guys”.

The bullshit myths revolving around the Alamo, the American west in general and the industrial era are good examples of this.

World history/civilization seems to be a college thing, unfortunately.

Back in the dark ages of HS we had two separate history classes, U.S. History and World History. Both were required.

We only had US history and Government. I think in elementary school it was State history and basic US history. Middle school was World geography and what the countries produced, religion and other basic info.

To be fair, though, when the ancestors of a majority of your students, as well as the primary culture of your country come from Europe, why would you expect different? When I was in HS we touched on most or all of the things you mentioned, but you don't have the time to cover every topic and culture and country and people in depth. You focus on the ones most relevant to the majority of your students. How much in-depth US or European history do you think they teach in Mongolia, The Congo, or Yemen?
