Harvard University Will Remove Portraits of Former President to Make Students Happy
Breitbart ^ | 03/27/2019 | Alana Mastrangelo

Harvard University plans to remove portraits of one of its former university presidents, Abbott Lawrence Lowell, from a building named after him on campus, as two incoming faculty Deans suggest that students should not have to see photos of the former president while they’re “eating Cheerios” in the dining hall.

The Lowell House will no longer be displaying portraits of former Harvard University president Abbott Lawrence Lowell and his wife Anna Parker Lowell by the time the building reopens for the fall 2019 semester, according to the school’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson.

You know, there’s a very good chance that if these students had attended Harvard between 1909 and 1933 they would have completely agreed with Lowell.

People look back at the past and say, “Well, I would have thought differently and I would have fought against that!” No. As a product of that time you would have most likely gone right along with things and you would not have been some sort of hero just like odds are you are not heroic now.

When will Harvard disgorge all the unjust enrichment they got from slavery? Many of the early Founders and donors to Harvard made their money from slave trading. Harvard has profited from this blood money for centuries. Accounting for inflation, it would easily run well into the billions of dollars today.

Has there ever been an article from Democrats demanding resolve on taking down Robert Byrd’s name and those who praised him as Barack Obama did?

They go to Harvard to become radicalized like Timothy Leary or the Unabomber.

Begin fighting socialism and communism in our universities. If they or their students don’t like our former presidents, and remove our history from their walls, pull all of our TAX PAYERS dollars from those “schools of so-called education.

"As a product of that time you would have most likely gone right along with things and you would not have been some sort of hero just like odds are you are not heroic now."

That reminds me of a quote from Thomas Sowell from 1992.

"Fifty years ago, if you thought people should be judged by their aptitude, not the color of their skin, you would have been called a radical. 25 years ago you would have been called a liberal. Today you'd be called a racist."

How bass-ackwards we have become.

All those wealthy white privileged students feeling white guilt should do the right thing and drop out of Harvard and enroll into a community college like others less fortunate. They should make room for those who have been oppressed for generations.

It is so wrong for them to talk about white guilt and privilege but do nothing about it. Most were raised in environments that allowed them to prosper while others less fortunate didn’t have such opportunity. The only proper thing for them to do is DROP OUT of their elitist school.

Let’s see if they’re willing to apply their standards to themselves.

They can announce to the snowflakes that they are removing a portrait of former President Lowell to replace it with a portrait of President Trump and send then into cardiac arrest.
Poor little unemployable things

If these widdle whinies don’t like who made Harvard, they can give their desks to someone else who appreciates the university.

Uber liberal University of Texas is currently doing just that. They’re discriminating against scholarly students to fill out their football team. Ex-President Bill Powers actually came out and said as much in 2010.

That dynamic is happening in plenty of school districts, whole municipalities in fact, as whites shrink from the Bronze Horde. The replacement Americans are left to fend for themselves; after electing their own political leaders, they must then face the bills for running their new barrio (as whites abandon the area to them) - and they resent it.

I see some Hispanics selling fundraiser candy, raffle tickets, etc. as they try to keep institutions set up by whites operating for their own children; they are getting a valuable lesson in giving instead of taking.

That’s the truth. Getting one removed simply tells them they have the power to remove more.

Wait till they start “asking” to have them replaced with the heroes that want to eat their Cheerios with.
