“Nothing is known about the boy on the right, who has just finished pouring Madeira (a sweet, fortified wine) into the glasses on the table… the silver collar and padlock around his neck indicate that he is enslaved.” So begins the curator’s comment for a portrait of Elihu Yale, one of three paintings in Yale University’s collection that depicts a slave attending to Elihu the slavemaster. Slavery is as inseparable from Elihu as these paintings depict. Such a namesake is a liability for Yale the institution. By that I mean a billion-dollar brand, one of the most prestigious universities in the world, an affiliated college in Singapore, and a huge healthcare network. This “open secret” is a ticking timebomb. It is about to go off. #CancelYale trended this past week on social media, having started as a trolling of liberal elites by conservative influencers.

I think Princeton declared Woodrow Wilson an unperson to stick it to Yale.
Maybe it should be named Malcom X-U.
Just think of all the endowment money that should be rejected as dirty racist priveledge money
Man I LOVE it when they devour themselves. Soooo woke.
The lyrics to ‘Freddie the Freshman’ are racist!................
Ah, the unending correlation between real racism and liberalism.
And somehow our “eddikated” media chooses to ignore it.
I’ve seen on other boards liberals posting that anyone pre-civil war was a slave owner or “complicit” which is equally bad. They all need to be removed.
That’s where this is being pushed.
They could call it ‘Freedom University’......Good ole’ FU!................
And since he was President at the time, we should declare Germany the winner of WWI!
That's like Charlie Manson changing his name to Chuck Mason. It's still good ole Charlie on the inside.
Yale must be abolished, stamped out, toppled like old statues, burned to the ground, and forgotten.;-)
“Brown University needs to be targeted too. The Brown referred to was a slave trader too”
No.
Nicholas Brown Jr was an abolitionist.
Harvard too. They also profited of a photo of papa renty. Dont know what happened with that lawsuit
I don’t think that goes far enough, we should Invalidate and VOID ALL Degrees ever issued by this Racist College and All People that were Educated by this Inherently Racist Education Facility BANISHED FROM THEIR JOBS.
Brown university has a history based on slavery. They even commussioned a study on it. You can read it for details
Considering how many academic leftists brag endlessly about their Ivy League educations, I don’t see this happening any time soon. It’s just not as impressive to say, “I got my degree from Stokely Carmichael People’s College.”
So is the goal to rename Brown University as Black University?
Maybe Xi University, after the supreme leader of China?
I’m just wondering how much longer before they demand we change the names of the days of the week, the months of the year, redefine year zero...
