I didn't know until recently that we had 22 African American Republicans elected to congress prior to 1890 and one became speaker of the house.
If our history can be erased in a hundred and 30 years why would I believe that the Jews would keep a good record of an event they denied happened?
Your comments concerning African American congressmen during Reconstruction are about your own personal ignorance, not about the professionalism of historians.
I knew this information in grammar school, where were you?
Also concerning the "Speaker of the House" please show me which Black American is the US Speaker of the House of Representatives on this website -
List of speakers of the United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia. For your help, it has pictures.
I think using the term "Speaker of the House" is inappropriate when it is not appended to 'of South Carolina' during Reconstruction when unrepentant Confederates were not allowed to vote.
However I am allowed to vote and I vote deceptive, and possibly intentional. I also vote someone is blaming others for their own ignorance instead of taking the personal responsibility to learn what the average poster here likely has known for decades, including those who don't even live in the US.
Since your opinion concerning the craft of history appears primarily informed by your own ignorance, it is no wonder that you have no clue as to the validity of some speculations concerning the science of archeology.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
