2. I only wanted to hear you not talking is probably the best burn Ive heard since Morgan Freemans character in Glory called Denzel a smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin nigga. It also doubles as the single best response to white tears ever.
3. You said something wrong and I cant listen when I hear lies is totally going to be my reply the next time Tucker Carlson invites me on his show.
4. The fact that the kid was astute (and funny) enough to say, The only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace, and say it in the right context. Some people wait their entire lives for the perfect storm of the perfect pop-culture-reference burn, and this kid got one at 9 (?). Im jealous.

(574 posts)If the parents agenda is to dispel the history of lies that exhault and deify white people while dehumanizing and vilifying others, good for them.
The standards havent changed much, but the double-standards, hypocrisy and lies are being layed bare.

But nice attempt at a right-wing BS talking point.
And the kid is not talking about judging history by today's standards, but simply telling the truth. Christopher columbus "discovered" nothing.
