I knew they would not be satisfied with attacking the Confederacy... Many laughed when I said the founders will be next...
Jefferson FOUNDED the damned University of Virginia. It’s very existence is owed to him. If you snowflakes don’t like “honoring” him then get your butts out of there and go to school somewhere else.
Well we can same thing about the group of “founders” of the USA as well..... if you snowflakes don’t want to honor the USA, get the heck out of here and live somewhere else. Hear that, Colon Kaeperdick???
Sick people!
I said the same thing!
People here said, “It’s just Confederates. So what?”
First they came for the Confederates and I said nothing...
Exactly! They only started with Confederates because they thought many would not care, soft target. That is not their goal. Their Goal is our Constitution! We better wake up.
Right. “3/5ths a person” they want the Constitution declared hate speech and ban it. Destroy Jefferson, Washington, etc.
The purpose?
GLOBALISM.
Do away with any respect Americans have for their own country so they’ll be willing to allow global government. Nationalism is the enemy to elites. Democracy is unreliable.
Bring in foreigners to replace native Europeans.
Convince the native populations their history is evil and they are racists if they complain.
Replace them with out breeding by the new arrivals. Encourage abortion and suicide (opioid use by the young and assisted suicide for the old).
Convince the natives nationalism is evil and their own countries have dark sinister pasts.
Get rid of borders and have elite judges run the system. Replace national laws with global rules. Redistribute wealth. Punish those counties that were rich before and ‘spread the wealth around.’
Clear the path for the Antichrist basically. We know how this story goes and how it ends.
Yes.
That is the plan.
Missouri is down 35% now and they’ve closed a bunch of dorms.
Interesting that PC wins over money for Leftists.
The dangerous - and we will see it revisited soon - precedent that the football team can ‘go on strike’ basically to blackmail the university into giving into demands....
We’ve seen the NFL viewership decline 10-15%. Basically the NFL survives by corporate welfare - 7 BILLION given to it in new stadium builds within the last 10 years or so.
When college football goes political you’ll see fans walk away from the sport.
Football is seen by the Left is a male-dominated violent microcosm of all that is wrong with America.
The concussion and other medical issues combined with the over politicization of it could kill it off within a decade.
This is cowflop. Crabby students can kiss the mistletoe.
The school, like all the “competitive admissions” ones, has a quota system. How many of those minority students were admitted only because of a quota is unknown. How many would have been admitted without the proper box being checked is anyone’s guess. But now they are making irrational demands ... kinda serves the school just right.
Of special interest in that regard is Jefferson's “Autobiography,” especially that portion which states:
"The first establishment in Virginia which became permanent was made in 1607. I have found no mention of negroes in the colony until about 1650. The first brought here as slaves were by a Dutch ship; after which the English commenced the trade and continued it until the revolutionary war. That suspended...their future importation for the present, and the business of the war pressing constantly on the (Virginia) legislature, this subject was not acted on finally until the year 1778, when I brought a bill to prevent their further importation. This passed without opposition, leaving to future efforts its final eradication."
Jefferson also observed:
"Where the disease [slavery] is most deeply seated, there it will be slowest in eradication. In the northern States, it was merely superficial and easily corrected. In the southern, it is incorporated with the whole system and requires time, patience, and perseverance in the curative process."
He explained that, "In 1769, I became a member of the legislature by the choice of the county in which I live [Albemarle County, Virginia], and so continued until it was closed by the Revolution. I made one effort in that body for the permission of the emancipation of slaves, which was rejected: and indeed, during the regal [crown] government, nothing [like this] could expect success."
Here is another quotation, cited in David Barton's work on the subject of the Founders and slavery, which also cites the fact that there were laws in the State of Virginia which prevented citizens from emancipating slaves:
"The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this and learn to imitate it; for man is an imitative animal. This quality is the germ of all education in him. From his cradle to his grave he is learning to do what he sees others do. If a parent could find no motive either in his philanthropy or his self-love for restraining the intemperance of passion towards his slave, it should always be a sufficient one that his child is present. But generally it is not sufficient. . . . The man must be a prodigy who can retain his manners and morals undepraved by such circumstances. And with what execration should the statesman be loaded who permits one half the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other. . . . And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep for ever. . . . The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest. . . . [T]he way, I hone [is] preparing under the auspices of Heaven for a total emancipation."
A visit to David Barton’s web site (www.wallbuilders.com) provides an essential, excellent and factual written record of the Founders' views on the matter of slavery. One source he does not quote, I believe, is the famous 1775 Edmund Burke "Speech on Conciliation" before the British Parliament, wherein he admonished the Parliament for its Proposal to declare a general enfranchisement of the slaves in America.
Burke rather sarcastically observed that should the Parliament carry through with the Proposal before it: "Slaves as these unfortunate black people are, and dull as all men are from slavery, must they not a little suspect the offer of freedom from that very nation (England) which has sold them to their present masters? from that nation, one of whose causes of quarrel with those masters is their refusal to deal any more in that inhuman traffic?"
He continued: "An offer of freedom from England would come rather oddly, shipped to them in an African vessel, which is refused an entry into the ports of Virginia or Carolina, with a cargo of three hundred Angola negroes. It would be curious to see the Guinea captain attempting at the same instant to publish his proclamation of liberty and to advertise his sale of slaves."
Ahhh, how knowledge of the facts can alter one's opinion of the revisionist history that has been taught for generations in American schools (including its so-called "law schools"!!)
Human beings are allotted ONLY A TINY SLIVER OF TIME ON THIS EARTH. (Pardon shouting) Each finds the world and his/her own community/nation existing as it is.
If lawyers and judges cared enough to educate themselves (in this day of the Internet) on the history of civilization and America's real history, and if they used that knowledge and the resulting understanding, to do as much on behalf of liberty for ALL people as did Thomas Jefferson and America's other Founders, the world in the next century would be a better place.
Remember, Thomas Jefferson was only 33 years old when he penned our Declaration of Independence which capsulized a truly revolutionary idea into a simple statement that survives to this day to inspire people all over the world to strive for liberty!
You guys need research what naturalization really means, Start with Book of Common Prayer.
“the kindly fruits of the earth”
Is Free Republic void intelligent life?
“Congress shall establish a uniform rule of naturalization”
and whats up with this blacks saying everytime they walk by a statue it reminds them of slavery..that is because they are ate up with bs that happened hundreds of years ago, in if they were honest would have to disclose that black africans were the slave traders first, before whites bought them, all is repugnant, but whitey was not the beginning of the slave trade..look at the muslims now..
they have been chewing that kool aid gum for hundreds of years and got nothing for it..why.no one owes you crap..germans killed menbers of my family, I work for a german company..rediculous
Close UVA. Its an white elitist school founded by a slave owning racist. Period. Shut it down. Screw the liberals. It will wreck the Charlottesville economy but so be it.
I wish one of these universities one day would just tell these snowflakes, “No. And if you don’t like it, go somewhere else. “
Will these snowflakes please GROW UP! Us young teens would like these moronic snowflakes to shut up and listen to the adults who are in charge. UVa was founded by T. Jefferson, if you don’t like that fact, go to the University of North Korea, then.
Are black/brown people so obsessed with the notion of white supremacy because they subconsciously suspect that it’s true?
It’s not that the students have “forgotten” or don’t know that Jefferson founded the university. They aren’t really outraged because Washington or Jefferson owned slaves, or the environment, etc. The left uses all their issues as tools to tear apart the foundation of this country because THEY HATE AMERICA.
I don’t think very many “Indian head” nickels are still in circulation. If they were to revive that type, there would be howls of “cultural appropriation” or something similar. We are in a period when sanity never prevails.
