Tell them Christ is the only One who did no wrong, so He's the only One who can't be cancel cultured. Therefore, the end result of their cancel culture mentality is to lead people to Christ.
In time they will see that abortion is willful murder. The takedown of role models will be massive.
Farrell pointed to two articles from Audubon Magazine that highlight Audubon’s history, which state that he enslaved several people and didn’t recognize black and indigenous people as equals. _____________________________________________________________
What a jackass. No white person in America in the 1800s “recognized black and indigenous people as equals.” Not even the Abolitionists took this view—they formed socieities to raise money to ship blacks back to Africa.
I would point out that you live in Fairfax County. Lord Fairfax owned hundreds of slaves. Why no push to change the name of the county? Why are the anti-racists only going halfway in their efforts?
Not The Audubon Zoo?
Where will all the animals ask for you?
There is a small national group trying to remove all white male names off birds, i.e., Cooper’s Hawk. Our local Audobon Society was in total support of this movement releasing a glowing endorsement of it. I find it ironic that now in Portland, OR, Reston, VA, and sure soon to be other places, the left is trying to cancel Mr. Audobon himself. Our side will never learn it’s never enough with these people. You may be the last to get eaten, but they’ll come for you eventually. Then they turn on each other. Ask Mr. Trotsky and Mr. Rohm about that.
A person must be judged within the context of his times.
Example #1: Isaac Newton is considered to be one of the greatest scientists of all time. Yet Newton knew nothing about atomic energy. Should we then dismiss Newton as a scientist?
Example #2: Martin Luther King is considered to be one of the greatest civil rights leaders of all time. Yet King believed that homosexuality was a mental disorder, and homosexuals needed psychiatric help. Should we then dismiss King as a civil rights leader?
I think these examples are good counter-arguments to today’s cancel culture. But will they make any difference? No. Today’s leftists are soft fascists. They are not interested in any ideas except their own.
How about Lake Angela Davis? Oh. Wait.
Statues, monuments, street names, and military bases have been fair game for the WOKE wonks.
It’s time to go after lakes.
Seems George Washington owned slaves. So lets rename the capitol and the state. And do away with Washington’s holiday. And the NFL needs to to scrub the Washington generals name. Newspapers named Washington ?? Lets do this right . Rename everything honoring the slave owner George Washington
“The article gives the essence of the local agitation for the change.”
***************
If there’s going to be an exploratory meeting with area stakeholders about interest in re-naming the lake, it seems there should be discussion of what image/history the new name should convey.
So one jerk is agitating for something no one has been concerned with? Lousy little tyrants. Why I will never live in a ‘hood with an HOA.
