While Disney and ABC were duking it out with the Federal Communications Commission over whether or not The View was a ?bona fide news? program
(HINT: they?re not), they were proving that they certainly were not
bona fide historians. From the origins of Memorial Day to claims that President Joe Biden never embarrassingly fell asleep while performing
his presidential duties, The View cast was engaging in revisionist
history this week.

While attacking Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for his Memorial Day
speech at West Point and claiming he was ignorant of military history, co-hosts Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin claimed he was ?losing sight of
the first Memorial Day.?

According to her, Memorial Day was a holiday celebrated by blacks and
women before becoming popularized by whites.

HAINES: It was celebrated because Union soldiers, black
soldiers that were put in mass graves, a lot of the black
community came out and said, ?We?re going to honor these
soldiers by giving them a proper burial for giving their
life to a country that did not treat them as equals.?

HOSTIN: So, Memorial Day was started by black people!

HAINES: By black people, and then a year later, it was
women who laid flowers on the graves of these people.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs tells a slightly different
story. According to the VA?s Memorial Day history page, it was a
multi-racial affair: ?In the waning years of the Civil War (1861?1865)
and immediately afterward, communities in the North and South, Black
and White, decorated soldiers? graves with floral honors on springtime ?decoration days.??

Even left-wing PBS doesn?t acknowledge a singular racial origin, noting
that ?The practice was already widespread. Waterloo, New York, began a
formal observance on May 5, 1866, and was later proclaimed to be the
holiday?s birthplace.? PBS does note that blacks in Charleston, South Carolina, held a memorial for Union dead who died in a Confederate
prison, but it doesn?t appear to be for only black soldiers.

Later in the week, they tried to do some more revisionist history on a
more recent event. Since President Donald Trump?s health was the topic
du jour, they toed the liberal media line that Trump was supposedly
falling asleep all over the place.

Co-host Joy Behar seemed to scoff at the notion by bitterly asking,
?Wait a second. Joe Biden didn?t fall asleep, did he??

Well Joy, while meeting with the leaders of African nations in Angola,
Biden fell asleep. When attending the late President Jimmy Carter?s
funeral at the National Cathedral, Biden fell asleep. When attending
the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Biden fell asleep.

To brag about ?what Sleepy Joe got done while he was asleep,? moderator
Whoopi Goldberg read from a note card someone gave her and claimed
Biden ?oversaw an historic economy that produced over 16 million jobs?
and ?revitalized NATO.?

Obviously, no serious person gives Biden credit for that number, since
it was the economy coming back online as COVID lockdowns were being
lifted. Even The Dispatch admits that. Meanwhile, the pressure Trump
put on NATO in his first term and the war in Ukraine were what spurred
the members of the military alliance to invest in rearmament.

ABC News shouldn?t be allowed to rewrite our history like this.
Especially the parts we?ve seen with our own eyes.

Yes, and Stonehenge was built by blacks and electricity and lightbulbs and the telephone were invented by blacks and the Wright brothers were black and
blacks built the internet and the space program and Mozart and Beethoven were black.

We've heard it all before. It's like they watched the Marvel Wakanda movies
and thought they were documentaries.

Black people were kangs and kweens and were responsible for creating
everything in the world, yet today they still live in huts and chase each
other around with machetes and have open air sewers running down their
streets. (Ironic, because I've also seen it claimed that black people invented the toilet and indoor plumbing, also.)

It's amazing that they think if they just say this stuff boldly and with no shame and then repeat it enough times, it will become accepted history.

It would be interesting to see someone do polling on this and see just
what percentage of people actually believe those fantasies. I'll bet the numbers are high among the young and especially young blacks....

I laughed myself silly reading this (my 'puter has been in the shop
recently so I've been offline for awhile) and all I can say is that
Joy is often wrong but seldom in doubt.....

The other thing is, black people DEMONSTRABLY have invented enough
things and did lots of other things worthy of note that no commentator
who has done his/her homework needs to either steal credit from others
or make up untrue things. There are enough black heroes and heroines
of both culture and science that any commentator who thinks they have
to misappropriate or make up things simply hasn't done their homework.

There is one helluva lot of areas besides sports where black folks
have done great things - too bad they and their friends are too lazy
to check their sources far too many times.

And yes Joy I'm specifically aiming at you.
