National Archives' racism task force says own Rotunda example of 'structural racism,' knocks Founding Fathers

[Mr. Mojo]

The task force also called for 'trigger warnings' to accompany historical content

The National Archives' task force on racism claimed in a little-noticed report to the U.S.’s top librarian that the Archives' own Rotunda – which houses the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights – is an example of "structural racism" and that the Founding Fathers and other White, historically impactful Americans are portrayed too positively.

The report was completed in April and released this month but has so far flown under the media radar. The task force claims that structural racism "unequivocally impacts" how National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) employees interact with each other, customers and the historical records themselves.

Some examples of "structural racism" were provided in the summary of the report, including "legacy descriptions that use racial slurs and harmful language to describe BIPOC communities," which includes actual racial slurs alongside terms such as "elderly," "handicapped" and "illegal alien."

Additionally, the report categorized the National Archives' Rotunda as another example of "structural racism" as it "lauds wealthy White men in the nation's founding while marginalizing BIPOC [Black, Indigenous and other People of Color], women, and other communities."

The task force suggests ways to "reimagine the Rotunda," including staging "dance or performance art in the space that invites dialogue about the ways that the United States has mythologized the founding era."

The report also called for "trigger warnings" to be put in place with historical content to "forewarn audiences of content that may cause intense physiological and psychological symptoms."

If we allow this type of BS to move forward our nation and children/grandchildren will be forever negatively impacted. This crap is dangerous and should not stand.

[WildHighlander57]

That report is insanity.

History is history; if it’s not accurately told, it will be repeated, since the lessons will not have been learned.

Yes, the report is insanity. Are we to embrace insanity now, and make it our own?

In the future I’m going to expect to be offered a Valium tablet every time I enter a Federal building or a museum lest I be “triggered” by a statue of James Madison or the words “In God We Trust”.

[Lurker]

I hate these people.

Deep down inside I've always dreamed of being “n*ggerized”.

[TexasM1A]

So they want a bunch of morons twerking in the Rotunda to some “tribal” music?
We as a people are so soft that we even allow this idea to breathe is a sad indictment.

[joshua c]

these commies are so transparent.

they want to destroy your unalienable rights.

[TokarevM57]

.....I totally agree........!!

....”....about the ways that the United States has mythologized the founding era.”

what in hell does that even mean...?? these people are sick, truly in need of some professional help....what is so “mythical” about our nation’s founding, and the 13 colonies’ desire to break away from the repressive rule of King George III and become its own country...??..because there were no Negroes who signed the Declaration of Independence...? no women...? no homosexuals or transgenders or drag queens...??

“ to “reimagine the Rotunda,” including staging “dance or performance art in the space that invites dialogue about the ways that the United States has mythologized the founding era.”

Twerking at the statues of the founding fathers?

[volunbeer]

Agree, but people are missing the point. We focus on the “validity” or “logic” of their silly ideas.

To them it really has nothing to do with the “Rotunda” or anything else. It is purely about destroying all of our institutions so that they can replace them.

[Skywise]

I love America.

I love the constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

I love America and all her faults as I believe in liberty and freedom.

F these guys. This is insurrection and sedition. If these people are triggered it’s time for them to leave - not tear down MY country with their insane childish babble.

Actually, no. Indians are quite prominent on the frieze.

When we were young an saw something that hurt our feelings, we were told by our parents to “GROW UP and get over it!”

But then, that was a different age when people had to mature faster.

[JennysCool]

So was the report’s conclusion that the archives should be looted and then burned?
