Pledging fealty, collecting squires, slaying “dragons” …

No way that's so cool! I ultimately dual booted Windows just to play it with my friends and now I really don't regret it

the absolute last people I want to hear voice any opinion about the us are ex-pats. You left and thereby surrendered your right to discourse

People aren’t there for you to “have use of” you self-centered weirdo lmfao do you even hear yourself

😭😭😭

Was Anthony a white supremacist? Yes I’d argue she was!

I’m not going down your side stories about sexism and homophobia to deflect from the core point that she was racist and is unworthy of effusive praise today

Did she do good work? Yes. Was it at the cost of other people’s rights? Yes. Does that tarnish her “good work”? Yes. That’s all I’m saying.

what if gallipoli
but dumber

“Anthony had a well-known black friend so she couldn’t be racist” is not an argument you want to be making

And I think the concept of white supremacy is older than the USA itself and unchanged throughout.

“It would have been really hard to push for the vote for black women during Jim Crow so she was justified in sidelining black women in the suffrage movement” is your argument?

And we know more about Anthony than Stone for a reason. Racists won the day and were more comfortable holding her up as a champion of women’s rights because they agreed with her racism. People consider that “19th century standards” because the narratives that were created.

hides the fact*

“By 19th century standards” is a cop out that excuses immoral behavior and he’s the fact that there *were* people who knew better and worked towards justice, such as Lucy Stone below. Anthony simply thought it was expedient to throw black rights away to achieve her goal.

Sure! But she was very personally racist, which was my point.

during h ou even arter their "New Departure" tactics, it never healed. Abolitionist feminists such as Harper and Stone had refused to be drawn into a zero-sum game. Harper opposed the notion of white women's rights, not women's rights, she reportedly said: "When it was a question of race, she let the lesser question of sex go. But the white women go all for sex, letting race occupy a minor position." If the nation was capable of handling only one question at a time, she would not let black women "put a single straw in the way" of the enfranchisement of black men. The point was not to repudiate feminism, but to stay true to abolitionist feminism. While Anthony claimed that white women were more intelligent than "the negro," Douglass pointed out that black men and women were being lynched and tortured in the South. As for Stone, it was Stanton, of all people, who captured her feminism best: "Mrs. Stone felt the slaves' wrongs more deeply than her own-my philosophy was more egotistical." The 1869 convention took place amid state-level and national debates over the Fifteenth Amendment. The convention arrived at a compromise resolution on the question, "heartily" approving of the amendment and expressing "profound regret" that Congress had not passed a "parallel amendment" for women's suffrage. But it could not bridge the two fac-tions, with Stanton and Anthony opposing the Fifteenth Amendment. They founded the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) at the Woman's Bureau in New York mere days after the convention ended. "Though it was devoted to woman's suffrage, it also began campaigning against the Fifteenth Amendment. Stanton and Anthony decided that only women should occupy positions of authority in the new organization Abolitionist men such as Pillsbury and Purvis, however, joined it. Stone repudiated Stanton and Anthony's "crazy opposition" to the

THE LAST RECONSTRUCTION AMENDMENT 437 imperialism as part of a project to spread Western "civilization" as well as women's suffrage. In Anthony's 1899 "Hawaiian Appeal" to Con-gress, NAWSA demanded that the women of Hawaii be enfranchised along with men when the United States formed a territorial government for Hawaii. Stanton and Anthony asked for the right to vote for women in US colonies like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines by alluding to ignorant native men" who would form "barbaric male gov-emments" in these islands. In her "Statement on Territorial Constitu-tons," Anthony further deplored "the half-savage character of the men of these countries." Indeploying imperialist logic on behalf of women's suffrage, she also made clear that the demand for suffrage did not include "the status of the in indian poserves or on Southern Plantations Like British sur fragettes, American suffragists made women's suffrage an integral part of "Anglo-Saxon civilization." based on the assumed "racial" inferiority of nonwhite peoples. Catt, who promoted American women's duty to "uplift" colonized peoples, also fashioned white women as saviors of Chinese sex workers in the United States. Some suffragists promoted literacy requirements for the vote. Stan- lifications for suffrage. After "He also

PROM REPUBLIC TO EMPIRE, 1890-1920 440 enfranchise women, repudiated the idea of a "white man's government and felt educated black women ought to be enfranchised. Clay and Gordon were the principal proponents of NAWA's southern strategy. Southern white women, most of them purveyors of Lost Cause mythology, brought a special racial animus to the movement. The most famous of them was Rebecca Latimer Feiton, a suffragist best known for her virulent prolynching advocacy. Like her fellow Georgian, Tom Wat-son, Felton began her career as a Populist reformer who fought against the convict lease system but ended as a racist demagogue. While one may view her as an antirape activist, she became, preeminently, a champion of" white women's supremacy," In 1922, on Watson's death, she was briefly sworn in as the first woman US senator ever. As southern white women joined NAWSA, black women were excluded. In 1895, NAWA's annual convention was held for the first time in the South, in Atlanta. Jefferson Davis's cousin was greeted "with roars of enthusiasm" and Frederick Douglass, who would die that year, was asked to stay away. Many of the speakers were men, including the former Confederate general, Robert Hemphill, who lauded the southern white women attending for their beauty. After the convention, Anthony and Catt undertook a lecturing tour of southern cities because, as they put it, "this section was practically an unvisited field." The light-skinned Adella Hunt Logan, a teacher at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, often managed to slip into NAWA's conventions, but was sidelined by Anthony from speaking at its national convention. At the 1899 NAWSA convention, Lottie Wilson Jackson, a black suffragist from Michigan, introduced a resolution condemning segregation in railroad cars that confined black women to smoking cars. It was met with the unified opposition of southern white women, led by Clay. Anthony intervened, arguing that such matters were not pertinent to a suffrage conven-…

There *were* suffragists who were also equally pro-equality… but yeah they were not the majority by any means

Many many people opposed chattel slavery, one of the most immoral human institutions ever, while also being very personally racist. She was one of them.

if you have no opinion just say you think Gen 2 was the best and you’ll fit right in

Gray and white cat peering from behind a bath curtain in front of a dusty air purifier

ball got stuck behind the dusty air purifier and dad too busy taking a photo to do something about it

no greater dishonor

Why are you being so emotional? If your boss is doing such a good job slashing public servant positions you shouldn’t feel attacked when the media describes it as such. Wear it as a badge of honor.

fwiw I certainly interpreted your original post in a lot more serious tone because of how you phrased it because you often *do* have insightful views on serious topics

that’s not a you problem, just like that’s the aura you put out whether you intend it or not (imo)

Yeah I'm not happy about it. I haven't followed his positions too closely but I'm starting to question whether Pedersen is the best choice for my vote...

what no way

Notably the winning party in the midterms does not win the presidency and therefore appoints no cabinet members

Perhaps but I also feel this is year where indies will break left rather than right
