It is being completely ignored by the mainstream media, but #CancelYale is trending on Twitter. Why?
Because Yale was named after an ACTUAL slave trader. Elihu Yale not only owned slaves, he made his money trading slaves.
So far the left is ignoring it, but given the environment, I expect it to get traction. Andy why not? If we're renaming military bases named after Confederates, why not a university named after a slave trader?
Let's see the left twist itself into knots when one of its elite institutions is attacked.
Eskimos PIes have now been cancelled
Some time in the near future people will release that Twitter isn’t real life.
If Aunt Jemima has to be cancelled then Yale needs to be cancelled, too
I don’t want to see it happen.
It would be just another step forward for the Marxist scum.
We don’t win by destroying things we don’t like as well.
Also, cancel all diplomas issued by these racists!
All those elite liberals so proudly displaying their Slave Owner diplomas, what will they do now?
Eskimos PIes have now been canceled
I usually buy the generic brand anyway. Taste the same, but cheaper. Same with all of the other ‘Woke’ companies.
I can buy generic brands cheaper and they taste the same.
To be honest... I have never tasted a label.
We arent winning at all...so whatever you think your strategy is..its not working
Aunt Jemima family is mad that she is being cancelled.
She made enough from that gig to buy a 22 room house that also had a bungelow.
Ok, then let’s give up and destroy everything. Solid call.
They have to rename Yale and everything to do with Byrd..or that need to be asked relentlessly why not.
Now this could really get interesting!
btw, its not just Yale
Harvard has a history of slavery as well
as well as a lawsuit over a Slave’s pictures they profited from
Personally I would enjoy it almost as much as if the Marxist storm troopers tore down statues of Marx, Lenin etal because the were capitalist collaborators.
Scratch a Commie and you will always find a wealthy capitalist paying their bills.
There is a small Lutheran college in New York called Concordia College. Its sports teams are called the Clippers. A (white) alumnae has started an online petition to change the name to a new mascot. Why, pray tell? Because some clipper ships were used in the slave trade! How about changing the name from the Clippers to the Karens?
King Raz must have someone backing him with all those air bnbs and ar15s in the trunk of his tesla
