Do NOT call prageru a "university".

Conservatives won't be happy until they've depicted Moses as a villain who deprived the pharaoh of his hard-earned Jewish slaves.
These videos are approved to be shown to children in Florida.
I am honestly scared for the next generation of children who believe that slavery wasn't that bad, and whatever other bullshit Prageru preaches
The divide between those who eat this bullshit and those who were responsibly raised will be fucking wild. Like think about that one dude in your life that hadn't heard about 'X', a thing that's common knowledge, and how baffling that was but now it's nonstop bafflement with a certain percentage of population.
It’ll be like the “States’ Rights” people, but infinitely worse. Being raised in the south, you’re taught that the civil war was over states’ rights, not slavery. That slavery was just the one that historians tended to latch onto, because it’s the most inflammatory topic and makes the south look bad.
And if you’re a good student and don’t bother to question that, you’ll enter the adult world believing that the south wasn’t fighting for slavery.
PragerU isn't a university. They just use the word to trick the unwary into thinking they might have a shred of legitimacy.
Disgusting. They won't be happy until slavery is brought back.
And the thing of it is, the white conservative racists want slavery back because they think it'll apply to black people. But little do they realize that big capital wants slavery back, too, and big capital will be all to happy put everyone into slavery, including white conservatives.
It is back via convicts and our prison system
That implies it ever left. The 13th amendment "outlawed" except as punishment for crime. Guess how many new laws and crimes were invented after that amendment was created.
Does anyone know why they are allowed to call themselves a university when they clearly are just a rightwing propaganda machine? They fooled me for a while thinking that it was a ultra-christian academic institution or something dumb like that but they are not even a daycare. Shouldnt it be illegal to call themselves a university? Its like if i open a bussines and call it a hospital but i only sell herbal teas and suplements, like holly shit.
That's why their channel is PragerU, not Prager University. The letter U is not protected.
These assholes reaaally need to be Twilight Zoned into being slaves so they can see how not a big deal it was firsthand.
At some point along the line, Republicans decided that the more someone made liberals angry, the more conservative they were. And now they find themselves defending slavery. The "party of Lincoln".
And now they find themselves defending slavery. The "party of Lincoln".
Nothing new. They've been flying the traitors' flag for decades now, moaning on about their "heritage".
They are trying to whitewash slavery because they need it to look good for when they bring it back.

OK if it was no big deal, then you, Dennis Prager, can become a slave.
What? It's suddenly a big deal? Yeah, thought so, you giant piece of shit.
Despite the name, PragerU is not an academic institution and does not hold classes, does not grant certifications or diplomas, and is not accredited by any recognized body.
Lol of course its PragerU. I remember they had a similar video defending slave-owners a couple years ago, but at least that one was taken down pretty quickly.
Pretty fuckin' stupid for that video to say that the US began the conversation on ending slavery when the Haitian revolution began in 1802.
You know, among all of the other fuckin' stupid things in that video.
It was famously already a well established argument by the time of the drafting of the US constitution. The southern states were deathly afraid their ability to keep slaves would be taken away, which was basically the entire driving motivation behind almost everything they did.
Yeah, for the slave owners maybe. /s
Fuck Dennis Prager, that smug piece of shit.
Santa not being white
"NOO!! HISTORY AND FACTS MATTERS!!"
Like seriously. These conservatives are the worst.
I've seen pictures of Frederick Douglass.
Frederick Douglass did not look like he thought slavery was "no big deal".
He looked like he'd have beaten your ass to a pulp for even thinking it.
Along the same lines, but not to this level:
A few years back, we had a family member who is at a very extreme end of the political spectrum give my kids a book set that they "saw in a facebook ad" that said it was all about wholesome family values. It was called the "Tuttle Twins."
Not knowing what it was, we started reading them with our kids. The first book we read was fantastic(we read out of order). It talked about pencils, and followed the entire supply chain. Very informational, entertaining, and educational. It wasn't until the 2nd book, and on that the agenda crept in. Funny how when they talked about crime, all of the cartoons of criminals were diverse. When they talked about landscapers and gardeners, they were all depicted as hispanic. It kept getting worse and worse. Talking about education being corrupt, about how much immigration impacted people, and tried to justify a lot of things. We stopped reading early on, but I browsed them all to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Then I googled them, and I realized how bad the propaganda was.
PragerU is a think-tank, not a university.
Conservatives have infested the planet, spreading their diseases of deception, manipulation, bigotry, homophobia, racism, misogyny, antisemitism and xenophobia.
It is inappropriate to do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Do your part to fight conservatism. Exclude them from your daily life.
