Fireside Chat Ep. 309 — The New York Times Accuses PragerU of Rationalizing Slavery | Fireside Chat

Now that PragerU is approved for use in schools throughout multiple states across the country, we are under attack from leftist media like never before. Dennis dissects a recent New York Times piece claiming he is a racist, PragerU is propaganda, and PragerU Kids is using Frederick Douglass to rationalize slavery. Are they right?

Mr. Prager, Thank you for the caution about an "all or nothing" view.
I'm grateful my friends accept me with all my flaws; I think we are all works in progress.
Thank you for making us think!

[humantacos]

He has said slavery is evil 1000x. He’s also said it’s a human condition. Both are factual

[Nixontheman]

Two things come to mind.
1. No one shoots at the Caboose
2. Consider the source.

[deckardcanine]

I too haven't agreed with anyone on everything since I started thinking for myself. I just judge whether I agree enough that I could see befriending the person. And Dennis, I think you and I would get along swimmingly in RL, even if I don't join you in cigars.

[maxpolaris]

Will someone please rationalize The New York Times for me!

[davedavedave]

How dare you tell the truth about slavery!

[miketracy]

The NY Times makes Pravda look like the truth.

[ColeDedhand]

The totalitarian response to (a) is always worse than (a).

[laureenzisa]

Every liar will judged righteously by the Almighty, the Just King, the Righteous Judge. Everyone must guard their thoughts, speech and actions.

[johnclawed]

I've never seen a dog so comfortable. In fact I've never been that comfortable.

[marksmith]

America was not the first country to discuss ending of slavery nor the first country end the trade or end slavery. That was divided between Britain, Denmark and Portugal.

[malic_zarith]

I saw a lot of the videos the left is complaining about. I'm not on either side regarding the issue, but the political game is played by mercilessly ripping on the other side no matter what. That's just how it works. I guess it's way more serious than a game, that's why the tactics aren't very sporting.

[Dennis-ncvw]

Oh man, I hate where this video stops. The Frederick Douglas quotes in the full video are pure ownage!

[inotterwords]

That Columbus video is honestly chilling, and I hope PragerU considers taking it down. "You can't judge people in the past by modern sensibilities"? That kind of moral relativism would excuse all kinds of anti-semitism, tyranny, brutality, etc.

[VoiceOfTheEmperor]

I love hearing officer Barbrady talk. Makes me realize that the right is never gonna run out of kamikazies.

[mikekahl]

RFK has some good points, but he is still a democrat and will vote with the democrats.
Dont be fooled.

[mochithepooh]

Regardless whether or not you think PragerU (Kids) is propaganda or not. The PragerU Kids lesson plan is absolutely terrible. One lesson plan (I think it was on subject of Citizenship), the student is supposed to _answer the exact same worksheet_ *three different times.*

[godssara]

Haiti didn't abolish slavery. They had a alave revolt. Thats different than the people in power abolishing it.

[NewAgeBarbarian]

Dennis is a member of the Chosen Race him and his fellow tribesmen see gentiles as slaves of his awaited Moshiach (Messiah)

[fracturedcrystal]

New york times be spitting facts, And pragerU be spitting garbage
