the only ones who don't wanna judge the people of the past by todays standards are the ones who have a vested interest NOW to not be associated with the evils of the past.

Which was a genocide. more than a 100 different cultures and tribes have been eradicated by white Americans. To say: "Oh thats not a bad thing, you have to judge them by their own standard", THATS the real arrogance. Slavery and genocide was and is always an evil thing. ESPECIALLY in the form white Americans did it. And spare me all the "indentured labor" analogies. That's just an evil group's justification for their evil actions.

I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s “presentism” to be critical of slave owners at the time, especially when abolitionism was also so prevalent. Certainly these people were of their time, but they also had agency, and they made conscious decisions to enslave, torture, and brutalize in order to make a profit.

And when things like that happens, as a history teacher, you should know you're on the verge of a regime.

@@DABIGDAWG001 - Whether or not the owning of slaves was "understandable" in that era, the real issue with regard of the history/mythology of the United States was that it was supposed to be a nation "conceived in liberty" yet retained slavery for political and economic reasons nonetheless. It's not slavery, per se, so much as the hypocrisy of the revered Founding Fathers which followed from it.

The past? As perpetually validated by EEO-1s, EEO-4s, and countless independent research studies, except for more strategically placed "window dressing" of more token women and minorities in sports and entertainment, absolutely NOTHING has changed. Bill Maher is WRONG. He missed the point; the USA was founded on the statement, "We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal," but at absolutely no point has this "principle" been practiced in the USA. In 1776, elite, well-educated, slave-owning, God-fearing White men began and have always made "the rules" and unilaterally continue to make exceptions to the "rules." If these smart, elite, slave-owning White men truly believed it was "self-evident" that all people, including women, are created equal, they would have said so, but they did not. They knew the meaning and value of words, and they elected to omit a specific timetable to officially establish a so-called "egalitarian" democratic republic from both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. The aforementioned is the "truth," and has absolutely nothing to do with playing the race card or the sex card. tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-systemic.htm

@@Iansco1 Yes. Problems arise when context isn't taken into consideration. Columbus may have enslaved the Caribs, but it's also worth noting that the Caribs were believed to be warlike cannibals. And human sacrifice was a widespread practice among the Central and South American natives encountered by other explorers. It was an ugly and messy time. But 'presentists' allow their bias to blind them to key historical facts that don't reinforce the 'rightness' of their bias. That's how you end up with dishonest narratives like, "The natives were innocent people living an idyllic life and the evil white men came and destroyed that perfectly harmonious existence forever." It's virtually impossible to study history without rooting for or against certain players. Having biases when studying history isn't a problem as long as you are aware of it, maintain perspective and don't try to excuse bad acts because they were committed by 'your team'.

Great comment.

Jefferson advocated for abolition, thinking it was morally repugnant and also would lead to bad economic results, He knew it was bad, like we all do. Yet he kept his slaves and annecodatly spoke of how they were better with him than the Deep South. We can talk about how thats gross and how that compromises him as a human while also talking about how is Americas best president and without his influence we wouldn't be the amazing nation we are today. We have to understand though the systemic pressures he lived within, society and systems had it that we had slaves during his time, he had a small part of that system but while being was not as powerful as the system. He advocated for it and failed one of the best politianas ever didn't do it, the system pushed on he and he accepted. We should see these people and question there morality or speak of there compromises the same we should think about ourselves in relation to sweatshops, homelessness, and environmental destruction. We have a hand on the wheel and should be judged, but its all our hands and the systemic powers that guide the ship.

I too am a history major. As a most of us are. Because our great and grands pass down knowledge. Songs and there meanings. Your history is just that, His-Story. There is no argument from me against that. The issue arises when you try to compare the kinds of slavery. I am a native. And slaves were and still are most common in the world. But not the sick form of slavery that the American Colonizers brought about. Small pox blankets. Slaves even in the scriptures were treated humanly and as human beings. with the option to be set free after a time. Not selling tickets for family gatherings and cookouts with their children to watch brutality, beatings, burnings and dismemberment. And fighting over body parts to take home and display on the mantel . Using black pre-toddlers binding them. And using their cries as alligator bait. (That is where the term comes from). Even to this day by the laws established in this land (NOT THE PAST) descendants of slaves are legally "by law " not considered %100 human. This is the current law. Which makes it STILL legal. No you (if you are a descendant of colonizers-forefathers, as I am under the laws against me given to my forefathers) do not get a pass to make yourselves seem as though you did nothing different. When the law is current. Mr. Maher bends the facts as your forefathers did in their own inimitable ways. Ther are nuances to this. And while you may think you have facts, our greats & grandparents tell us all. And we know truth. My great grands were chattel. And I knew them before they passed. And I tell my children all.

@billted3323 It's not a Democrat and Republican thing. It's society as a whole. He's allowed to be left leaning and for there to be balance, we need both. It's the complete whackjobs that need to be dealt with. What these "progressives" are pushing is just as stupid as what the David Duke crowd is selling. The reasonable left needs to be heard more.

It's called logic & common sense...

The world has gotten so retreaded and delusional it has reached the point of critical mass . Hes just been around long enough to see it built up .

So, so true. I don't agree with him on everything, but he speaks a lot of truth. Plus, he is hilarious!!

@@chark4734 Conservatism has NOTHING to do with slavery. Democrats do. I don't understand your question.

Liberals stopped thinking Bill Maher was liberal a decade ago. Conservatives are finally listening to him enough to notice.

Yeah, but they'll take it. And act like a princess as they do...

Don’t try can’t be blamed 👏🏿

That was the old saying about the importance of history: we need it to learn from it mistakes. I'm afraid people are just reading what happened & not analysing & dissecting it properly, it's just talk nonsense & complain after only looking at the surface, & then do the same thing again

if EVERYONE would say it in public... we'd be fine.

@@kurtsudheim825 Winston Churchill wrote: "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." To be honest I read basically the same sentiment written by an ancient Roman author.

@@dag_of_the_west5416 God Bless HBO. Let's hope Larry David sticks it to 'em a little more on this season of Curb, too.

ooo dem urban stronghold? or uppity white suburbs? because who cant say these things irl?🧐 i find its usually usually the latter where they lose their ish 🤣 like omg i cant handle the realness of it 😱 im just karen drink more wine ull be OK 😒 obv u dont talk that stuff at work etc but i never been that type even pre culture war. less they know about me the better. ill never get down hiding natural facial reactions considering my face betrays _exactly_ my thoughts since expressionative af 😅 but im polite and cordial/deal what i got to where i have to be for cash then outside that tf i will deal w any basic Becky ish. and there is a reason im equating 👱‍♀️👩👩‍🦰 to the woke libs. but helen keller knows why beyond the data on it 💅 if they *really* cared about race and orientation groups were theyd learn what a muzzle was 🥤👀

It's only taken him a few decades, how brave of him.

Oh please his writers do it all

I like Bill too, and I don’t always agree with what he says or thinks....and thank goodness for that! How boring would things be if we all agreed all the time!?

Sorry, David, but Bill lost his courage a long time ago. I only listened to 40 seconds of this. I hope I don't need to explain why, and I hate it when people just criticize and offer nothing to back it up, but I'm tired of this. That's why I rarely listen to him anymore. Check out some old "Politically Incorrect" clips, and you might see what I mean.

@@sharonmassey2923 You don't like that he is now criticizing the left and its silly views on gender, race, wokeism? As a conservative, it's refreshing to see Bill call a spade a spade... oops, that's going to be taken as racist when it's not. It's just an expression and kinda what Bill is talking about.

Please understand that the size of your fandom of Bill Maher is unrelated to his ability to speak truth with intelligence and humor.

Time to become a fan then

This was ok, but hugely boring, like everything he delivers.

I generally don't like Talk Shows or their hosts, with the exception of Craig Ferguson. But I did laugh at the Joan bits, this script was done well enough.

Well, there is a faction trying to make it different now. But that fight isn't over. Truth can still win.

Most of the teachers who were there 5 years ago are still teaching those same principles, in spite of the push from their principals.

Odd, how 25 yrs ago it was our grandparents lamenting, "Things just aren't like they used to be"... Now, the Wokesters have shortened that gap down to a 5 years.... What's next, "Those people from 5 weeks ago, they are just so out of touch..."

Times change- morality DOESN'T. This is pathetic & horrible! "Liberal" Bill doesn't even REALIZE he has just used the justification of every slave master & TYRANT in history! OF COURSE people back in the day knew slavery was WRONG! Slaves were people TOO! Violence & cruelty have ALWAYS been WRONG except to the criminals and Bill has taken THEIR SIDE! If Bill ever had claim to being a liberal it DIED with this rant. And the sad thing is, I don't think he knows it.

@@stevedavies1261 Declinism is a very common cognitive bias in all people. But yes, trends seem to go out of style faster, and things change so quickly things are becoming almost instantly nostalgic.

Um just because you don’t know about women’s accomplishments doesn’t mean they didn’t occur.

@@mpoharper Um, because we know that some accomplishments were done by men, then we shouldn't women-wash them.

@@Antropovich not what I said!!

@@Antropovich I never said that male accomplishments should be unfairly given to women. I am thinking about Watson and Crick, for example, not giving credit to Rosalind Franklin. There are many developments by women that people never discuss. It is a fact that many men assume women will fail to compete that makes it especially hard in the workplace. I know I have sat on search committees in academia, industry, and government.

''Women never get enough credit for the things they didn't do'' neither for things they did. 'Miguel Vizcarra

So so true

Yep, they get shouted down and cancelled by leftists.

@@deebee4575 Absolutely!

@@crazytekkie1 Yeah.

A complete whitewash of the institutional abuse of millions of people... all of whom knew it was wrong. But god forbid their interests should even be considered. The abusers were not foolish children. They were malicious exploiters with the money and weapons to do as they wished.

Outside america most intellectuals think the same way...

read Christopher Hitchens

He is also to the left, just not quite as far as most of the elite Socialist Democrats!
