“The Park Service just scrubbed ‘racist’ from the description of Byron De La Beckwith—the Klansman who murdered Medgar Evers. Trump’s 2025 executive order is now literally whitewashing racism in U.S. history. #WhitewashingHistory #MedgarEvers #BlackHistoryMonth mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

People ask me where I see Trump's racism, and I reply "On his freakin' sleeve, dude, on his sleeve."

A split-screen image. On the left is a screenshot of a social media post by Brian Tyler Cohen dated December 5, 2025. The text reads: "Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump's birthday." The post displays two images below the text: one of Donald Trump signing a document at a desk, and a black-and-white portrait of Martin Luther King Jr.

On the right is artist Jonathan Harris standing next to his painting titled "Critical Race Theory". The artwork depicts Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Malcolm X. In the painting, a white arm holding a paint roller is shown covering the historical figures with a layer of white paint.

These asshats have so much to answer for.
I have no benefit of the doubt to give anyone who still supports this BS.

David Barton insists white lawmakers deserve more credit for ending slavery, downplaying slavery's horrors and amplifying the 13th-15th Amendments' significance. John Amato exposes how Barton’s revisionist claims fuel far-right narratives reshaping civil rights history.

Trump's dismantling Dept of Ed (tinyurl.com/5xm9hnw2) is seen by critics as a scheme to "uneducate" & oppress minorities:
• Worsen funding gaps ($2700 less/student for minority-heavy districts).
• Whitewash history (18+ states restricting teaching).
• Block higher ed access. A deliberate erosion of equitable education.

@JorisBohnsonPM tangential, but relevant.

"Long before four of the largest faces on Earth were dynamited into the granite edifice of Mount Rushmore, the #Lakota #Sioux saw a different set of portraits: The mountain was known as Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe (the Six Grandfathers)."

The original mountains of Mount Rushmore.

"before the presidents' faces were carved into it, it was called the six grandfathers, part of the sacred black hills of the Lakota tribe. The US government seized the land illegally in 1877 after gold had been discovered there. President grant secretly ordered the army not to protect local tribes, as bounty hunters collected up to $300 for each Native American killed. The carving of four presidents into the hills took place in the 1920s, funded in part by the kkk.

"While Florence Nightingale is often credited in western literature as the pioneer of modern nursing and the first nurse, it's worth noting that Rufaida al Aslamia held this title 1,200 years before Nightingale."

Her father, Saad al Aslami, who was a physician, mentored and trained Rufaida to become a highly skilled medic... Rufaida played an active role in several battles, including Badr, Khaibat, Uhud, and Khandaq, where she used her medical expertise to treat wounded soldiers.

Rufaida is recognised as the first known nurse in Islamic history, who established a tent outside the Prophet's mosque to provide medical care to patients, wounded individuals, and those suffering from diseases.

She also played a significant role in resolving social issues that emerged due to illnesses within her community. Besides, she trained and educated other women interested in nursing.

Prophet Muhammed recognised Rufaida al Aslamia's contributions and rewarded her with an equal share of the spoils of war, at the same rate as the soldiers. Rufaida's inspiring social work continued even after the wars ended, extending her efforts to help those in need, especially the poor and orphans.

History of the #Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit #removed from #Army #website

The history of the 442nd #RegimentalCombatTeam has been removed from the U.S. Army’s official website.

The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the #most #decorated #combat #unit in #history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second generation #JapaneseAmericans.

Edmonton cops calling Nazi landmarks 'war memorials'—sounds like the birthplace of the KKK in Canada is also the home of convenient amnesia. #SelectiveMemory #WhitewashingHistory

The FL Dept. of Education is doubling down on the premise that chattel slavery wasn't so bad.

Approved just in time for the coming school year is Prager U's narrative (w Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, no less) that slavery was better than death. (Some who were enslaved killed their own children to spare them from degradation, rape, torture, and unrelenting, unpaid labor, so there's that.)
