especially since he served the union, it would seem right that it was taken while he was serving

If you mean the order of its removal or where it was, Fort Pulaski National Monument and the National Park Service. If you mean the backstory, the Smithsonian and the National Portrait Gallery. You cannot be this slow

He was enslaved before the Civil War. After it ended, he helped document the horror that had just been banned

Yeah that was my mistake. It was during the civil war and became used by a bunch of abolitionists

What the actual fuck? This is how you react to people asking for a source? So you want them to just blindly believe everything someone post on fucking yikyak?

Of course he should ask for the source! This is something that can completely change someone’s political viewpoint. I’m going to read that right now because if this is true, I may have to alter my political world view.

I would consider this comparable to the destruction of confederate statues. Neither one was good.

Don’t look up when those confederate statues were actually put up and for what reason, worst mistake of my life

It is never good to destroy history

Also how is this narrative even a dividing thing for the nation? All it is doing is presenting to people history. This is the reality of what happened, here’s a photograph to showcase specifically that, and the rest is up to you. There’s no sign saying anything to promote racial division

Show me exactly where he referenced this photo, I’ll wait. Also, for not federal institutions he can insist all he wants but they can ignore him and there’s nothing he can do about it.

He doesn’t have the ability to fire staff from non federal and private institutions you idiot. There’s nothing he can do about it. He can insist all he wants but there’s nothing he can do. Yes, he’s fired many people who are employed by federal government institutions. Also, you have yet to provide the evidence that he referenced this photo specifically

And show me what legislation or executive order has been passed that gives the president the ability to fire people from private institutions? I’ll wait. Also, even if that were to happen, it would be struck down by the SCOTUS

I don’t believe Trump is a god. Also, nice red herring arguments. I asked for the evidence of the executive order or legislation that’s allowed him to fire people from private institutions. You have yet to provide such evidence and the burden of proof is on you

Thin veil to discredit. If you can scroll yikyak, you can look up a source. The image is famous and in history textbooks, the backstory is on multiple government websites, and the ongoing story of its removal is widespread news. Plus, if you’re not gonna trust a yikyak post without a source, what makes you think you’d trust a response to your inquiry into the source? Use Google, lay off the paste eating.

1) not a democrat 2) both parties are in favor of modern day slavery 3) mf never heard of the southern strategy

There was no “party flip.” The Democrats went from mostly pro segregation in the 1920s to mostly pro integration in the 1960s, with their platform starting to flip in favor of integration in the 1930s. The Republicans went from non-religious in the 1960s and earlier to religious in the 1970s onward, which is why the Republicans become popular in the religious south during that time

You’re….you’re describing the party switch my guy. That’s how it happened. Dems went from being the Conservative Party to the progressive party

You literally just described the switch 💀 we cannot be serious bro “hmmm there was no party flip but here’s me describing how the political parties switched ideals!” Like what 😭

You are correct! The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. Not that hard to understand

Pretty sure all the people getting riled up took the request for a source as an implicit “I don’t believe in the horrors of slavery or the fact that Trump is out of line”. The commenter just wanted a source. But that is likely how it was received

Low-key irks me when mfs just ask for a source and DIE for it like gang this is how you make niggas not wanna see things the way you do 🤦🏾‍♂️

How dare someone ask for a source to ensure claims are valid and not randomly made up 🙄 if you don’t have a source/evidence then you shouldn’t be spewing it

Anonymous #12 57w

I get asking for a source for seemingly made up claims or things to be scrutinized. However, asking for a source to either a photo that is in history textbooks or a story that has been in headlines for 3 weeks (i wouldn’t know since #3 has contributed nothing since asking for a source) is just ignorance. It’s not even an “educate me, I haven’t heard of this” thing, it’s just a stupid request typed into a machine that can give him exactly what he’s looking for.

Asking for a source for the actual photo or for the claim that it’s being removed?

Anonymous #12 57w

THREE WORDS is all it took to get a source on the current situation from Associated Press, the US House Committee for Natural Resources, and National Public Radio.

I wasn’t the one who asked for a source on this, I’m talking about the importance of citing sources. Also there’s burden of proof so the person making the claim has to provide the evidence

#3 HASNT SPECIFIED. WE DONT KNOW BECAUSE HE JUST ASKED FOR A GENERAL SOURCE AND NOTHING ELSE. Burden of proof means nothing for common knowledge and doesn’t need a source/citation. I could tell you that three billionaires died after a submarine imploded during a voyage to the Titanic and wouldn’t need a source because it’s common knowledge over 2 years later

Exactly, for common knowledge, not for breaking news or something that is being debated
