California is a HUGE, DIVERSE place. Politically it flows from the hardcore “progressive” (Marxist) City/County of San Francisco all the way to the extremely conservative San Joaquin Valley – and a huge amount of stuff in between.I love California and have visited multiple times but it’s an extremely liberal place. I think that’s the reason for the protests. The culture is more influenced by the regressive left.
What exactly did Saint Serra do that was wrong? Disciplining natives in a manner analogous to how adolescents and adults were disciplined throughout Europe and in the Eastern US at the time? Again, what did Serra do wrong? He certainly was not a “slave master” nor did he treat people in a sub-human manner.The thinking of that time was that the white race was superior. Many blacks lost their culture, language, etc. as a result of slavery. I wouldn’t say Father Serra shouldn’t be held accountable, but I would say he should not be judged according to our standards and understanding. It is like saying a slave-master shouldn’t be held accountable. The inhuman treatment of slaves will never be acceptable. It is difficult for me to think some of them didn’t know better is raping slaves and subjecting them to harsh treatment. Idk if I can agree with that.
Please don’t judge me again. In all actuality I am very sensitive to historical accuracy. I have long studied the California Missions and have noted a growing propensity to lie about their history in some very sensitive ways. That’s unacceptable, hence my voice on the matter.You sound rather insensitive to other people’s culture. Almost mocking it. How self righteous of you. Catholics are all great people until race is brought up.
“This time period” of the snowflake? A time where if we’re offended by something (no matter how wrong or overly sensitive we might be), then that which is offending us MUST be in the wrong?I had a saint book about Augustine and some of this thoughts about women would be considered sexist in this time period. Saints can be wrong
I should not have called you self-righteous.The Church doesn’t owe “these people.” If anything the debt is in the reverse. Also, what exactly do you mean about “a restoration of native values”? Build them more casinos? Give them the venerable California Missions so they can incense them with burning sage? Why would that be up to the Church?
Most men support the first and second wave feminism. People mainly criticise the third wave because they believe it has gone overboard.So when men complain about feminists, I roll my eyes.
This comment is really out of line. The person’s posts have not suggested at all that they are racist or insensitive. Also, what they are saying is historically correct. St. Thomas More didn’t exactly treat everybody with what we’d consider human kindness nowadays either, and as you just said, we need to consider people’s actions within the “social context of their reality”, as my old history teacher used to say.You sound rather insensitive to other people’s culture. Almost mocking it. How self righteous of you. Catholics are all great people until race is brought up.
There are also women, like myself, who were fine with the earlier feminist movements but have no use for what parades around today under the guise of “feminism” and think it is simply a bunch of women doing the same things they condemned men for doing, namely, trying to force their views on other women who don’t agree with them.People mainly criticise the third wave because they believe it has gone overboard.
I am not aware of a ‘White nationalist’ thing here. I’d challenge you to supply evidence for your claim.I visited this forum during the whole white nationalist thing. I do indeed feel some users are at least white nationalist sympathizers.
