Bovine scat - it is indeed their intention to erase history. How can any country and culture learn from past errors and mistakes if history does not include these shortcomings when telling our country's story.
View a picture of the ship in Baltimore on my home page.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Hi guy. I hope you are doing well.
In the fwiw department I didn’t do BCT at Ft. Wakanda. Nor did I serve at firebase Harvey Milk.
Plus, I didn’t ETS from Ft. 0bama.
My DD Form 214 is null and void.

They are going to have real great time when the get into the National Archives.
Thank You Nimrata Randhawa
The purpose of a museum used to be to preserve history.
Now its to re-write it to make a few people happy.
Of course the logical extension of this insanity will be to encourage an endless number of groups to complain about more things thereby by erasing much of our history.
I have a book about historical fiascoes and the Dred Scott decision is among the ones the authors discuss. It is interesting to learn that it was the abolitionists who pushed for Scott’s freedom and they likely overreached in that cause and that helped to push Justice Taney into ruling Henry Clay’s Compromise of 1850 unconstitutional and that of course further pushed the country towards civil war.
This.
Is.
BS.
This is evil and there’s no other word for it.
It’s one thing to rename schools of buildings but this is an actual HISTORICAL artifact.
They ARE destroying history.
If George Floyd were still walking around and had never been heard of, none of this would be happening?
Someone needs to tell them that changing the name now won’t change the history.
The cowardice of this is frightening. I mean being afraid to simply say this ship was named for someone we view negatively today. That is an interesting piece of history, the name isn’t going to assault anyone or convince them that slavery was good.
Go to Italy and you’ll find monuments to the most brutal dictators imaginable. Not just during the empire but in the Renaissance city states as well.
No one thinks all those monuments, names on buildings or great art is going to bring back the Roman Empire or the Medicis.
She’s a nice looking vessel. What is being done is criminal.
Full stop.
Taney IS an odd choice of someone to celebrate.
Soon we will have to rename the U.S.S. Missouri herself because of cultural appropriation (The Missorui Native Americans you know).
Oh and becuase she killed a metric ton of yellow and brown people in WW2, Korea and the Gulf.

James P. Bond to Americans:
Learn to code.
Americans to James P. Bond:
Learn to swim.
A lone voice in the wilderness. He's right of course. With technology these days every monument can be an enormous educational opportunity from a variety of perspectives not just historic or political but art, design, construction, finance and more. The more controversial it is, the greater the opportunity to teach and learn.
