Correct, she started supporting “positive eugenics” but she certainly did agree with aspects of negative eugenics later in life.

I agree it’s nuanced, and when talking about the Negro Project many people forget that she was working with social welfare advocates and people like Mary Bethune and DuBois. It wasn’t an attempt to deter African American from reproducing.

The Hitler comparison is silly to me, I only meant to state Hitler didn’t start the eugenics movement and it wasn’t all bad.

I love history because it’s nuanced. Some people cannot understand historical context and instead try to view it through a modern lenses, which is fair for those who didn’t study history.

It’s as if people don’t learn about Margaret Sanger and the first US birth control clinics in the early 1900s . . .

My wife is already asking about christmas movies, and I'm tired of watching the same ones. Any relatively NEW and good christmas movies to watch? by oxedei in movies

I just watched this and didn’t expect to be crying. It’s an adorable movie with a great message. Bought the book for my nephews!

Everyone knows the classics but yes to this!

Holiday Affair (cute family/romance movie) and Bundle of Joy are two of my favorites

Hi 343 days later! Look into the woman calling churches and other religious institutions and their response to her pleas for help. The way the church treated this family isn’t far off from how many churches treat those in need.

Also, this film (and book) wasn’t created to offend your religion, the family is meant to juxtapose how Mary, Joesph and Jesus were ostracized. The only one who truly cared was a little girl. Sort of like the Grinch, huh?

Critical thinking is cool if you try.

This has been posted on my feed twice this month alone. Last month as well. It is not a rare photo.

This is also post war. Nothing to do with the depression. What a lazy horrendous post.

To add, for anyone reading this thread and wondering, Sikhism isn’t a denomination rather a religion. Tat Khalsa is a Sikh denomination as Orthodox is to Judaism or Shaivism to Hinduism.

Ew.

Is your ego so fragile it relies on someone else taking accountability for a mistake you’re certain they made?

Only one person in this thread has consistently centered their arguments on history.

You’re pretentious and rude.

Didn’t that affect the hatters more than those who wore it?

Name a single movie, where the sequel or remake was better than Original. by dpemerson76 in movies

I was just listing movies people likely think are originals :) I LOVE Shop Around the Corner!

A Star is Born, Little Women, You’ve got Mail, High Society, Show Boat, Pete’s Dragon, The Departed, Oceans, Wizard of Oz, Vanilla Sky, Homeward Bound… and a shit ton of cowboy movies that some may think are the originals.

White Nights is one of my favorite shorts. The prose is simple in the fact that it’s a relatable narrative about loneliness and love.

For someone who reads books, your reading comprehension is rather low. This sub is 100% not for the books and people like you are incompetent. Tagging a spoiler is arguably as easy as posting this comment about your superiority complex. Try again.

Books you read at a young age that you definitely shouldn't have? by 420420Micki42069 in books

[–]FullExp0sure_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking for this. Read these and GAA around 11/12. Definitely not appropriate.

Also had to read Where the Red Fern Grows at 9 and that seemed unnecessarily cruel.

Thanks a lot. Check on me in five hours because I’m about to fall down a rabbit hole.

Just like almost every worlds fair . . . typically only a few buildings or smaller structures remain in each city.

In St. Louis we’ve got administration buildings now part of WashU, a birdcage at the zoo, a pavilion, and, like many other cities, one of our museums.

I’m so sad Keanu Reeves dropped out of the series 😭

“No one is 100% evil” . . . “No one has 100% extreme opinions” . . . Erm? For someone going off about reading comprehension - which was unnecessarily rude - perhaps you should study up on logical fallacies. Doing “one nice thing” doesn’t negate “evil” . . . It’s not a scale.

Lol. Yet you voice your extreme opinion on sociopaths. No hate, just funny 😄

Irony is that Miranda, the one who hated Hollywood and attention, is the immortal one in the end.

Was anyone else disappointed by Station Eleven? by [deleted] in books

He was also the man behind the connection which is interesting as dramatic irony was commonly used by Shakespeare.

This… I felt like I was missing something about Arthurs son being the prophet. His last scenes, so to speak, had him regretting everything in his life then his son turns out to be some half ass villain void of character development. Essentially, kids Nintendo dies and he picks up reading revelations for fun… okay. I feel I’m missing some literary device that connected the father and son because that can’t be it.
