1. The matter-of-fact way he states, “Today was not a good learning day.” Which, in this context, is the equivalent of starting a sentence with, “But I just think it’s kinda funny that ... ”

2. “I only wanted to hear you not talking” is probably the best burn I’ve heard since Morgan Freeman’s character in Glory called Denzel a “smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin’ nigga.” It also doubles as the single best response to white tears ever.

3. “You said something wrong and I can’t listen when I hear lies” is totally going to be my reply the next time Tucker Carlson invites me on his show.

4. The fact that the kid was astute (and funny) enough to say, “The only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace,” and say it in the right context. Some people wait their entire lives for the perfect storm of the perfect pop-culture-reference burn, and this kid got one at 9 (?). I’m jealous.

Looks like SJW BS to me.

Someone's parents have an agenda. Judging history by today's standards is stupidity.

If the parents’ agenda is to dispel the history of lies that exhault and deify white people while dehumanizing and vilifying others, good for them.

The standards haven’t changed much, but the double-standards, hypocrisy and lies are being layed bare.

than social justice.

But nice attempt at a right-wing BS talking point.

And the kid is not talking about judging history by today's standards, but simply telling the truth. Christopher columbus "discovered" nothing.
