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.

Some time in the near future people will release that Twitter isn’t real life.

[Texas Eagle]

Love to see that happen but, somehow I think that one is going to disappear as fast as the #MeToo movement and the #BringBackOurGirls movement.

If Aunt Jemima has to be cancelled then Yale needs to be cancelled, too

[EEGator]

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!

[CaptainK]

I'd like to think some wily conservative stated this hashtag.

All those elite liberals so proudly displaying their Slave Owner diplomas, what will they do now?

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.

[RummyChick]

We arent winning at all...so whatever you think your strategy is..its not working

[RummyChick]

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.

[EEGator]

Ok, then let’s give up and destroy everything. Solid call.

[RummyChick]

They have to rename Yale and everything to do with Byrd..or that need to be asked relentlessly why not.

[Old Grumpy]

Now this could really get interesting!

[RummyChick]

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

New York Life, Aetna and US Life also sold insurance policies to slave owners, particularly those whose laborers engaged in hazardous work in mines, lumber mills, turpentine factories and steamboats in the industrializing sectors of the South. US Life, a subsidiary of AIG, declined to comment on its slave policy sales. Wachovia, one of Wells Fargo’s predecessor companies, has apologized for its historic ties to slavery as have JPMorgan Chase and Aetna. More than 40 other firms, mostly based in the South, sold such policies, too, though documentation is scarce and most closed their doors generations ago.
