    Isn't this the exact thing people are arguing CRT does?  It white washes history?

    It's been an ongoing topic for years.  Don't change it.

    I'd want to know if the same people wouldn't mind rewriting the bible to remove some things in there?  I mean they do threaten to cut a baby in half.
    No, CRT corrects the “white”wash of history. But only if you’re in college would you see it. You want to believe in George Washington chopping down a cherry tree, don’t you?
    You are correct, I worded that backwards.  

    I do enjoy ol George chopping down the cherry tree and his macaroni in a hat too.
    I thought it was a feather he stuck in his hat that he called or named macaroni?

    lol, it is, It's ridiculous no matter how it's written.

    The true meaning of that song.
    Yankee Doodle went to town
    A-riding on a pony,
    Stuck a feather in his cap
    And called it macaroni.

    The “macaroni” in question does not, however, refer to the food, but rather to a fashion trend that began in the 1760s among aristocratic British men.

    On returning from a Grand Tour (a then-standard trip across Continental Europe intended to deepen cultural knowledge), these young men brought to England a stylish sense of fashion consisting of large wigs and slim clothing as well as a penchant for the then-little-known Italian dish for which they were named. In England at large, the word “macaroni” took on a larger significance. To be “macaroni” was to be sophisticated, upper class, and worldly.

    I’d like to see the Daily Show roving reporter ask folks at a POOTWH rally their thoughts on drag shows and queens and then ask if they can recite the song. Then follow up with a question about the particular meaning of macaroni and its origin and then explain it to them. Stunned silence? Denial? Slug him? It could be entertaining.

    I would expect 95% of the population to not know the meaning of that song.

    Isn't this the exact thing people are arguing CRT does?  It white washes history?

    It's been an ongoing topic for years.  Don't change it.

    I'd want to know if the same people wouldn't mind rewriting the bible to remove some things in there?  I mean they do threaten to cut a baby in half.

    crt white washes history? more like corrects whats already white washed, you mean.

    Wasn't macaroni slang for high class, and the song was orginally the british making fun of American's lack of class? Or whats the real deal?
