It’s time to “reimagine the Rotunda”. That is the conclusion reached in a report released by the National Archives’ task force on racism. The National Archives Rotunda is an example of structural racism and the Founding Fathers are portrayed too positively. Who knew that the Rotunda is in need of safe spaces and trigger warnings?
The Rotunda of the National Archives displays the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. The National Archives holds permanent records created by the U.S. Congress, U.S. Supreme Court, Federal District Courts in the District of Columbia, and Select Federal Agencies. It also houses pre-World War I military service records for U.S. Army and Confederate veterans and pre-1940 vessel and station logbooks for the U.S. Navy. The National Archives’ task force on racism determines that changes must be made. The report was completed in April and released this month with little notice. What the report does is provide yet another opportunity for erasing American history in order to fit the narrative of revisionists – the white Founding Fathers were racists who do not deserve to be recognized for their role in creating the world’s greatest experiment in self-governance. Structural racism “unequivocally impacts” how employees of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) interact with each other, visitors, and the historical records, too.

#NukeMeNow
Obama was what the founders were trying to prevent when they excluded the children of foreigners with the natural born citizen clause.
Rush went out of his way to join the Alinsky attacks against anyone who pointed out that Obama was not a natural born citizen.
#Don’t Nuke Me, Joe
Here I thought it was structurally round. I stand corrected.
I remember being triggered when I saw John Dickenson pictured in the painting on the left.
Don’t say this out loud to anyone, but **the White House is the color white.**
Is it something in this ?.....

Do you mean that the artist painted himself into the scene?
I’m triggered! I’m gonna sue you for posting this photo! Expect to hear from my lawyer.
black failure is overwhelming
We are one nation, and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams, and their success will be our success
“Who dreams up all this cockamamie contrived leftist bullshit?”
Our universities have entire departments that do nothing but think up leftist bullshit: Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, African American Studies, (notice a pattern here?)...
“The National Archives Rotunda is an example of structural racism”
Why? Because it’s made of marble and granite as opposed to mud and thatch?
Un-freaking real.
Hmm. Got any examples in mind?
PING

Marxists seek to bury our past
This is the National Archives who decided this.
They are the keepers of our nation’s historical documents.
And at the root they hate this country.
Same with some within the Smithsonian.
Been that way for 30 years with some of the anti-American exhbitons they’ve wanted to install.
And the Washington Monument is built on top of an old slave cabin/Indian burial ground. Ditto Jefferson and Lincoln memorials.
From Wikipedia:
When the Continental Congress began the debate on the Declaration of Independence on July 1, 1776, Dickinson reiterated his opposition to declaring independence at that time. Dickinson believed that Congress should complete the Articles of Confederation and secure a foreign alliance before issuing a declaration. Dickinson also objected to violence as a means for resolving the dispute. He abstained or absented himself from the votes on July 2 that declared independence and absented himself again from voting on the wording of the formal Declaration on July 4. Dickinson understood the implications of his refusal to vote stating, “My conduct this day, I expect will give the finishing blow to my once too great and, my integrity considered, now too diminished popularity.”[14] Dickinson refused to sign the Declaration and since a proposal had been brought forth and carried that stated “for our mutual security and protection” no man could remain in Congress without signing, Dickinson voluntarily left and joined the Pennsylvania militia.[15] John Adams, a fierce advocate for independence and Dickinson’s adversary on the floor of Congress, remarked, “Mr. Dickinson’s alacrity and spirit certainly become his character and sets a fine example.”[16]
We can't do without the National Archives... Thanks rktman.
