Speaker 1: All right, happy King holiday everyone. Of course last week, boy,
Speaker 1: last week. During a stop this was a campaign stop
Speaker 1: in Iowa, former President Donald Trump said the Civil War
Speaker 1: was quote so horrible, but so fascinating, going on to
Speaker 1: suggest that the conflict, which was fought over, of course,
Speaker 1: the issue of slavery, we all know that could have
Speaker 1: been negotiated, a comment that drew immediate backlash from civil
Speaker 1: rights groups and historians alike. He said, so many mistakes
Speaker 1: were made. See there was something I think could have
Speaker 1: been negotiated. To be honest with you, all the people died,
Speaker 1: so many people died. Trump went on to say, Abraham Lincoln,
Speaker 1: of course, if he negotiated it, you probably wouldn't even
Speaker 1: know who Abraham Lincoln was? What?
Speaker 2: What? What? My grand date af and no negotiation. This
Speaker 2: is who y'all want to be. The Methodist Yep, that's
Speaker 2: exactly who they want. Yeah, this ignorant food, this ignorant
Speaker 2: ass man, he ain't got no problem. He can't. He
Speaker 2: has to say ignorant stuff because he ignorant. Now is
Speaker 2: he a brilliant? Is this man? Absolutely no problem? But man,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell you now that ain't that ain't
Speaker 2: what you want. But well, man, I'm gonna be fine
Speaker 2: whoever they put in there, because he not in charge
Speaker 2: of me. There's no way I'll give him permission to
Speaker 2: be in charge of me. It's no way now.
Speaker 1: It's According to USA Today, Savante Myrick, who is the
Speaker 1: president of People for the American Way that is a
Speaker 1: progressive advocacy group, said the Trump's comments demonstrate quote, a
Speaker 1: glaring ignorance of American history. Mirak went on to say,
Speaker 1: and it seems like President Trump was applying that some
Speaker 1: sort of failure of diplomacy on behalf of Abraham Lincoln
Speaker 1: is what caused the Civil War. He accused Trump's comments
Speaker 1: of being extremely appealing to Confederate sympathizers and white supremacist folks.
Speaker 2: What caused the Civil War? With your forefather's insistence on
Speaker 2: maintaining the slavery system, That's what caused the Civil War.
Speaker 2: What caused the Civil War is their refusal to acknowledge
Speaker 2: and accept black people as human beings. That's what caused
Speaker 2: the Civil War. Them your forefathers. See, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: ever stop saying that them, your forefathers, them, not my forefathers, them,
Speaker 2: your fue fathers. Y'all stole. Y'all stole America, Louisiana treaty
Speaker 2: all that. That's y'all. Y'all did that. Y'all came over here,

Speaker 2: we take no more.
Speaker 1: We still have to fight for voting rights.

Speaker 2: rights because the actions of the forefathers still revived, residing
Speaker 2: their great grandchildren. That's why.
Speaker 1: Well my word right, yeah yeah, and uh. Natasha Brown,
Speaker 1: who is the co founder of Black Voters Matter, agreed,
Speaker 1: saying that Trump's comments appeared aimed at downplaying the enslavement
Speaker 1: of black people in America's history.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: She says, we know the history of the South, we
Speaker 1: know that part of the elements of the South were
Speaker 1: centered around the institution of slavery and in maintaining that
Speaker 1: people of color would be in a permanent social status.
