I'm not trying to be extremely technical. He just literally stated opposite things. The premise of his first post was based upon the fact that this is a problem because they still exist all over the South today. This notion was refuted in his own post.

Now your point that you're trying to make of it doesn't matter if it was 2016 or today it never should have happened is just totally and completely ridiculous. There's a billion issues that never should have happened, what's important about them is whether or not there have since been steps that have been taken to correct them.

In this case there has already been steps that have been taken that completely corrected the issue.

This is why his post and your post are totally fucking stupid.

Except you're still missing the overall larger point here. Books that inaccurately portrayed the true state of slavery existed in modern times. This goes along with the theme presented earlier of people re-writing history to suit their own agenda. Whether or not that was the text string specifically that he was quoting is irrelevant, it's a theme presented in the topic and I'm looking at the issue though full context of the topic.

And it does matter that books like that should have never been created in the first place because even if they took steps to correct the issue after the fact, it says something that the books got out there with that message to begin with. I'm not about to give kudos to them for correcting mistakes that very obviously shouldn't have been made in the first place. This calls into question the motivations, integrity and intelligence of the people meant to help educate our youth. It shows that even in modern times, educators are looking to downplay or dismiss certain aspects of history. That means that the people meant to educate our youth are stupidly putting shit out there that is blatantly incorrect and even if they have corrected it the damage is already done. That curriculum has already been taught and undoubtedly there are people that might subscribe to those laughably false beliefs, and they have every reason to because they were taught from what are supposed to be believable sources. That matters.

So I will say it again, whether or not there are books out there in 2018, I honestly don't know but the fact that books with that information even existed 5 years ago is very troubling and no, they should have never existed.

And your dumbass point about a billion things that shouldn't have happened is irrelevant. We could use that logic about literally anything.
