PBS Documentaries

CG, it’s funny you used fleas as an example. I posted on another thread that I switched vets because my dog’s previous vet was terrible. How do you do a check up, and then have the dog leave without being checked for fleas? He had them before and after that visit because not only were they tearing him up, those little mofos were tearing my ass up too. I finally got a vet that got rid of them.

I saw the Holocaust was brought up too. 6 million people murdered — that’s just what was recorded. The actual numbers were much higher than that.

Cool. Looking forward to it. But will you be able to do that without bringing Donald Trump into the mix? Lol

I have shown PBS documentaries to my students because they’re very informative. There really isn’t such a thing as a “Jim Crow North” though. Jim Crow is Jim Crow. Jim Crow isn’t just a southern thing. Jim Crow is anything south of the Canadian border. Today, it’s just a more advanced version of it. This is the kind of thread where we can learn from each other.

I never looked at it that way. Makes sense.

Hilarious!

No, I was just going to say how sad it is. Ya know, there were millions of dollars lost during the Jim Crow era due to turning business away from paying customers. The last time I checked, the whole purpose of going into business is to make a profit so you can make a living.
