amateur historian Michelle Haas
Amateur historian and professional Karen, which means she doesn’t know shit but screams loudly about how oppressed she is anyway.
I think she’s long past into “professional racist defender”…
In 2006, she cofounded Copano Bay Press, an independent publishing house specializing in firsthand accounts of Texas history. She wrote and published 200 Years a Fraud, a full annotation of Solomon Northup’s 1853 memoir Twelve Years a Slave, which was made into an Oscar-winning film in 2013. In her book, Haas disputes Northup’s account of his life and argues that many U.S. histories are overly harsh to the South and do not acknowledge that slavery was “a socially acceptable and economically worthwhile practice worldwide at the time our thirteen colonies arose.”
What a piece of shit.
slavery was “a socially acceptable and economically worthwhile practice worldwide at the time our thirteen colonies arose.”
Someone might want to remind her that Texas was not one of the 13 colonies and it was not legal there while they were part of Mexico. So no, it was not socially acceptable.
As amateur representative of the Liberals, I move that we rescind her right to wish people a merry Christmas, which is totally definitely a thing that we do

Because, see, if you remove the books it didn’t happen. /s

An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics. Internal emails show otherwise.
Texas Monthly continuing to fight the good fight here, and telling it like it is. Sadly half of my family calls them fake news.
You ever heard that “the winners get to write the history”? Well, here you have the sad evidence.
They don’t gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em

Should probably use public funds to erect statues in public places, I’m told that is the correct/most efficient/only way to remember history
