I heard today there is a movement to re name Faneuil Hall in Boston because of connection to slavery YEARS ago.

Liberals are bound and determined to destroy our country’s heritage and history; their idea of American history began when 0bama was immaculated.

Yes-— by BLM and other particularly black so called activists. Because Faneuil was engaged in slavery trade (along with many colonial blacks who owned slaves, as well as white and black indentured servants and those sentenced to “transportation to the colonies”). Hypocrites all of them. Only a step and hop to try to ban all the Founders .

Other statues have been taken down having NOTHING to do with the CSA but... affiliated with the “slavery” issue which was decided by the deaths of 700K plus Americans. Such as:

— the ostensibly “republican” gov of MD, agreed to remove, from the front of the MD assembly building— the statue honoring Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Roger B. Taney (who swore in Lincoln and 7 other Presidents before him) because of..... the Dred Scott Decision (which was not made by him alone!!!). White Maryland guilt— really can’t put it any other way. erase the history then it won’t exist as a full time occupation for non-profits.

—the removal of Georgetown University’s portfolio ownership of tobacco stocks and other “slavery connected” memorials.

—the removal, 2 weeks ago, in Pittsburgh, PA, his home town— a respectful statue dedicated to STEPHEN FOSTER, because of his “racist” songs (ignoring his quite anti-slavery commentary songs for the Christy Minstrels) and because the statue has a “caricature” of a black slave (it doesn’t the man playing banjo is a “rural figure” type— with a slightly broader nose and no other “black” features, seated next to a classically inspired lyre, incorporated into a swirling stalk of cane or palm.

This liberal Taliban history erasing must STOP, because it will not stop its brand expansion to everything about our Founders and Defenders of our Constitutional Republic.
