I know for fact that the new time capsule was filled with decomposing pig crap. Spread the word.

Isn’t that pedestal tainted by having a Robert E Lee statue sitting on it for so long? Better get a different pedestal, probably a different location as well. /s

Does the public get to see the contents or does it just get shelved somewhere?

In other words, a Wokey McWokerson time capsule.

Add a nice poster of Sodom and Gomorrah for a true reflection of the current "culture".

They need to put a picture of some white person in there too. By the time it is opened again, white people will no longer exist.

VA is leading the way in wokeness and the Communist’s manifesto.

I have lived in VA almost all of my life and it pains me to no end. Our current Gov is a POS.

Heh — I had a feeling that scene might make an appearance on this thread.

I wonder if any historians have pushed back against the Democrats’ apparent memory holing of the old capsule?

OF FFS. 150 years from now and they will find that marxist garbage, rainbow dildos, Coonman’s klan hood, and a preserved “soy burger.” To hell with these marxists. They really are hell bent on destroying society.

Are they going to include news clippings of the black offenders who are the ones committing “asian hate?” Bunch of GD liars.

“Robert Byrd worked his whole life to end racism and injustices....”

Even the most rabid democrat poster will spout that BS when reminded Chomo Joe’s political mentor was a KKK Exalted Cyclops.

Republicans need to get heavily involved in this. Now it’s THEIR turn to play offense.

Some of the items include a photo of a Black ballerina taken by a local Richmond photographer in front of the statue, Kente cloth worn at the 400th commemoration of 1619, a "Black Lives Matter" sticker, "Stop Asian Hate" fliers, an LGBTQ pride pin, and an expired vial of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.

Yes, nothing says the historically illiterate emotions of today like a Kente cloth, the weaving pattern from the Ashanti tribe, whose livelihood was capturing their fellow Africans for sale to slave ships at the coast.

Fact check: Yes, Kente cloths were historically worn by empire involved in West African slave trade
