and who determines what is the "truth"No one is asking or suggesting for the abolishing of US history.
What is being challenged is the accuracy of it.
Tell the truth.
Deeper than slavery and civil rights.
As long as he understands that fee college and development for the pros he got is evidence that the University is not doing things based on skin color.Agree with him or not, there's no one who has earned the right to express their opinion about TCU more than LaDainian Tomlinson. And the school should absolutely listen to and consider anything he brings up. Key words being listen and consider.
there was a satirical piece written a few years ago by a well known SEC sports columnist about the fact that such a high percentage of football players in the SEC are black shows a racial bias against white football players and the black players were only selected because of quota ratios - he meant it as total humor since he ended by using stats that demonstrated the players were chosen based on their overall performance on the field and summarized by saying that if the narrative that we were exploiting black football players for their abilities in college football was true, it was not because of their race but because of their abilities and the only fix for that was to end college football in total.As long as he understands that fee college and development for the pros he got is evidence that the University is not doing things based on skin color.
evidently.So asking a football player what number he is is racist?
Why can’t both of those be true?The more transparent and open TCU is, the better it will navigate and perhaps even jump over competing schools that run from their past or dig their heels in and not admit any guilt because they claim what's past is past.
Yes, you are.No one is asking or suggesting for the abolishing of US history.
What is being challenged is the accuracy of it.
Tell the truth.
Deeper than slavery and civil rights.
I would imagine he has a better understanding of all this than we doAs long as he understands that fee college and development for the pros he got is evidence that the University is not doing things based on skin color.
If your point is that every single citizen doesn't fully understand every single aspect of American history then I would agree.Tons of intellectual thinking and it all has little to do with true US history.
I dare you take a no nonsense look at US history in its rawest form.
It's not as pretty as many pretend it to be.
I do realize that this forum is full of ultra conservative individuals.
Thing is your opinion doesn't outweigh truth.
Debating the 1619 Project on here would be like asking you to think outside what you've been taught since...before slavery in the US.
Why would I believe it would be received objectively?
The only reason it's been brought up is because there are individuals prepared with rebuttals.
Alternative reality would be the correct term.
And UT is welcome for profiting $114 million from the football program in 2019.Thank you for the education TCU. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills on the field TCU. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to get to the next level TCU! Now go reexamine your past!
And TCU is welcome for profiting $114 million from the football program in 2019.
Yea I really don't understand why anyone would have a problem with LT of all people giving his opinion about TCU. I can't think of a single person who's earned it more than him. The guy could spend an hour talking about things I'm 100% opposed to in every way and I'd still listen to ever word and consider the perspective he's giving.And TCU is welcome for profiting $114 million from the football program in 2019.
Not really.If your point is that every single citizen doesn't fully understand every single aspect of American history then I would agree.
It was UT. My bad.profiting? much like a view of history apparently, we don't have the same view of the term profit because i don't think the frogs cleared $114M in their football program in 2019 and i am damn sure the athletic department didn't
Keep that in mind when your buddies continue to prop up Trump.and who determines what is the "truth"
The oldest saying in the world is history belongs to the victor
the difference between a patriot and a traitor is who wins the war
no person with a bias can ever write a true history - and everyone has bias
So basically what you are saying is you don't agree with the current version - fine, many don't
but what you want is a version that you will agree with and you will see that as the truth - but others won't and will say it is not accurate
who is correct? and what does it change in the present or future?
I agree it's not taught correctly. Problem is that it's literally impossible to teach the entirety of American history in 2 semesters the way it's done in schools. You could spend an entire semester only studying the Civil War and not be able to come close to covering it in a truly comprehensive fashion. It also doesn't help that a lot of Junior High and High School history teachers are actually football and basketball coaches who spend class time watching film while their class watches a History Channel production on Benedict Arnold.Not really.
My point is true US history is not truthfully taught.
If you care to know, then yes I'm still learning about my ancestors' American history through research.
It's not taught correctly in schools.
