So What If Your Country Fave Has Confederate Flags? If They Don't Like It They Can Go Listen To Some Rap. Virginia's Woke East University
FEBRUARY 20, 2021
** Fort Monroe named Site of Memory associated with UNESCO Slave Route Project. (Virginia. Real Civil War history. Not the revisionist college professor stuff they're trying to ram down our throats.)

** The future of Confederate monuments. (These are the ones at National Park Service parks. The editorial was in favor of removing them. Hopefully not.)
** Luke Combs shares ways to honor southern heritage without a Confederate flag. (Pretty lame way. He has come under fire for being seen around Confederate flags. He should just tell detractors where to go.)
** Luke Combs' Confederate flag apology sparks discourse among country fans. (There have not been many black country music artists, just like there have not been many white rap, soul urban artists. However, watching all the black country artists performing on CMT, I'm beginning to wonder. But country does have the late great Charley Pride and Darius Rucker.)
** University buildings in Virginia once named after Confederates now honour African Americans. (James Madison University. Why must all renamings be for Blacks? Aren't there any whites who deserve names on buildings? From the Washington Post -- and we know where they stand on these issues. The Post points out that the school is named for the country's 4th president who also owned you-know-what. Guess what the Post would like to happen? Welcome Woke University East or the Harriett Tubman University.)

Darius just released a new song and it's pretty damned good as usual.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Delete" You left not one stone upon another. You rent all their local laws and machinery into fragments and trampled upon their ruins. Not a vestige of their former construction remained. Their pillars, their rafters, their beams, and all their deep-laid corners, the work of a wise and devoted generation of the past, were all dragged away, and the sites where they once stood left naked for the erection of new and different structures. You removed the rubbish, pushed the Army into the vacant ground, established provisional governments as you would over territory just acquired by conquest from a foreign power, and clothed brigadier and major generals with extraordinary functions as Governors.
ReplyDelete"This was the beginning of the present organization; those odious and unsightly fabrics which now cumber the earth, and which stand as the open, reeking, and confessed shambles of corruption, pollution, and revolting misrule. They embrace not one single element of popular consent. They are the hideous offspring of your own unnatural and unlawful force and violence. The great body of the people of that unfortunate section had no more share in the rebuilding of their local governments than the sepoys of the East Indies have in the affairs of the British empire. They were excluded from all participation, by the most elaborate and minute schemes of legislative proscription of which history makes any record.
"The first duty of the provisional governments of which you established was to call conventions to frame new constitutions for these old States, and to prepare them for readmission into that Union from which you had sworn so often and so solemnly that no State could ever withdraw. These conventions were provided for by laws enacted here. The number and the quality of the delegates to them were here specified. Who should be eligible and who ineligible was your work, and not the work of the people who were to be governed. You not only said who should be elected, but you likewise determined who should elect them. You fixed the qualifications and the color of the voters. You purged the ballot-box of the intelligence and the virtue on which alone popular liberty can be safely founded, and you admitted in their stead the suffrage of the most ignorant and unqualified race now inhabiting the globe."
