Christian Supremacist is an oxymoron. Jesus taught that the greatest among us would be our servant.
You can contextualize anything you want, anyway you want to justify any reaction you want to have (free speech, right?). You can demonize just about any figure who was notable enough to be written about, or have a statue made of them. Newsflash, no one's perfect, really terrible people have made major contributions to civilization. We can appreciate the good people have done without using it to justify the bad. You certainly shouldn't judge historical figures through a contemporary lens. History is what happened, good, bad and ugly. It's how we got where we are, and to destroy history that we don't like is to deny dignity to those who lived through it.
we destroy history when we forget it.
christian supremacist is not an oxymoron.
Mike Pence Will Be the Most Powerful Christian Supremacist in U.S. History
Mike Pence’s ascent to the second most powerful position in the U.S. government is a tremendous coup for the radical religious right.

Onward, Christian Fascists - Truthdig
The most dangerous legacy of the Trump administration will be the seizure of power by the Christian right.
www.truthdig.com
" The greatest moral failing of the liberal Christian church was its refusal, justified in the name of tolerance and dialogue, to denounce the followers of the Christian right as heretics. By tolerating the intolerant it ceded religious legitimacy to an array of con artists, charlatans and demagogues and their cultish supporters. It stood by as the core Gospel message—concern for the poor and the oppressed—was perverted into a magical world where God and Jesus showered believers with material wealth and power. The white race, especially in the United States, became God’s chosen agent. Imperialism and war became divine instruments for purging the world of infidels and barbarians, evil itself. Capitalism, because God blessed the righteous with wealth and power and condemned the immoral to poverty and suffering, became shorn of its inherent cruelty and exploitation. The iconography and symbols of American nationalism became intertwined with the iconography and symbols of the Christian faith. The mega-pastors, narcissists who rule despotic, cult-like fiefdoms, make millions of dollars by using this heretical belief system to prey on the mounting despair and desperation of their congregations, victims of neoliberalism and deindustrialization. These believers find in Donald Trump a reflection of themselves, a champion of the unfettered greed, cult of masculinity, lust for violence, white supremacy, bigotry, American chauvinism, religious intolerance, anger, racism and conspiracy theories that define the central beliefs of the Christian right. When I wrote “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America” I was deadly serious about the term “fascists.” "

A People's History of the United States --- 1492 - Present
It is a rewriting of history from one viewpoint ... Howard Zinn's POV.
Which means it is a bit silly and interesting.
I understand history as we know it is not very accurate except from 50,000 feet as they say.
Howard's view is interesting and coherent which is a good, strong indicator it's made up.
History is anything but coherent.
looks like the tides changingZinn is
Columbus will go down as one of the greatest men to ever live. Zinn will go down as the little bitch that he is.
all history and journalism for that matter is from someones POV. theres no such thing as objectivity and he lays it out at hte beginning.
