...in memory of a man who didn't have a racist bone in his body.
Hey..hey..hey! Don't forget Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers.
The founder of the Democrat Party, Thomas Jefferson, owned slaves. Just sayin’....
By Corydon Ireland, Harvard Staff Writer
Harvard College came of age in the 17th and 18th centuries, a period with values often very different from our own. Slavery — which was legal in Massachusetts until 1783 — is a case in point. Did this dark chapter of American history affect Harvard? Yes. That entanglement is the point of “Harvard and Slavery: Seeking a Forgotten History,” a booklet launched on Wednesday by the Harvard and Slavery Research Project. Involved were 32 students, one faculty historian, and a graduate student. “The history of slavery,” write authors Sven Beckert and Katherine Stevens, “is also local history.” The 34-page study packs into its economical format details of what will be historical surprises to most readers. It reports that three Harvard presidents owned slaves; that slaves worked on campus as early as 1639; that among the first residents of Wadsworth House (built in 1726) were two slaves, Titus and Venus; that slave labor often underwrote the success of Harvard’s early private benefactors; and that the connection between College donations and slave-related industries persisted until the Civil War.
And it's said that he fathered a child with one his slave women.Ten bucks says that she wasn't a willing participant!
I bet Kevin Peterson wishes he could do selective “memory wipes” on people, to fit his own social engineering desires.
Rename Faneuil Hall, that will go over as well as a turd in a punch bowl.
“Because the common enemy of both Islam and the Left is the Judeo-Christian West.”
Money quote! That sentence should guide everyone who loves liberty. Shows us who the enemy really is.
Boston is a liberal city in a liberal state. Having heard the South denigrated and scolded for decades by liberal New Englanders, it is good to see how liberals’ children of disaster have turned against them with a ferocity not seen since the 1960’s.
They can rename it Malcolm X Hall for all this Southerner cares.
Funny how one person can shut down a society.
Political correctness sux
One example is how LGBTers and feminists rarely call out Islam for their gay hatred and misogyny. All that is, pardon the pun TRUMPED by their common hatred of all things Judeo Christian and Western. So they seek an unholy alliance of convenience, based on the dangerous assumption that an enemy of my enemy is my friend. And we all know what happens when we ASSUME U ME.
You’re quite right that the Left and Islam are co-belligerents against Christianity, Western Civ, and the state of Israel. Each finds the other useful. Feminists don’t criticize Muslim brutality against women for the same reason.
But...what did you think of my meh to Faneuil Hall being renamed Malcolm X Hall? That would get those Boston Brahmins all knotted up for sure. Or would it?
