All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly I roam.
I'm a still a-longin' for the old plantation,
Oh, for the old folks at home.
Guess what. Individuals have a constitutional right to be racist. The only thing the Constitution forbids of an individual is one cannot force slavery or involuntary servitude upon another. But “racism” - whatever that is - is not forbidden by the Constitution.
Worked the job for 12 years. Topped out salary at less than $35,000. Wants to tell the museum all the many ways they are wrong, how they have failed, and how she could run the museum better. Because, yo, she black.
This all sounds like the worst thing to happen since the Civil War. Oh, wait......
Anyone could own a slave if they had money: blacks , whites , natives , Jews and if we had any Asians at the time they could have owned slaves. It was truly an equal opportunity business venture .
The Engineering department I managed always quite generously employed students from Florida A&M at what I, who paid for it, thought was a ridiculously high rate considering how little they could contribute. Then one of them sued the company for racial discrimination. A Russian manager had asked “What for you make me do this monkey’s work?” (By this he meant review drawings, a job we had one of the black interns doing.) For an accusation like this you go to an arbitrator, in this case a black, female judge who had NEVER found in favor of a company before. At the hearing the Russian engineer walked in with a stack of translated Russian authors with yellow sticky notes protruding. He told the judge. “I was raised in Russia. I never saw black person. We didn’t even have pictures of black people. Monkey’s work is Russian saying.” He then picked up each book, named the author and flipped to each page he’d marked reading the sentence with the phrase. When he got to the third book on the huge stack, she stopped him. We won. After that everyone walked on eggs around this student.
Here’s the point. We never hired another student from FAMU. The ability to use the race card creates a dirth of jobs for other, honest blacks.
Violins. Violins scratching ever so mournfully.
Seriously, it’s OK to mention something of slavery here. In the CSA headquarters.
But, we discovered the last few years there is already a wholesale CRT-like effort put forth by our lovely federal government regarding anything to do with Civil War sites.
Every CW site - WAR, FIGHTING, DEATH sites - has a violin-scratching entire segment in its visitor centers about slavery, ad nauseum. It’s all about slavery and how the black folk are. What it has to do with the battle sites is little. But every sign has been revised to reflect “enslaved labor(ors)” rather than “slaves” and signs added to the most mundane points in the battles as some kind of reflection on slavery.
Get off it! It’s NOT all about slavery! Soldiers getting enfiladed through from Little Round Top is NOT about slavery! There is no slave story here! (The Gettysburg VC is all-new, huge, and slathered in slavery homages.)
Really, get off it!
We don't lock all the theieves up do we.
Is there a Plaque stating how he led the DEMOCRAT PARTY into a CIVIL WAR so they could keep Blacks as Slaves???
I don’t understand why this is even an attraction. Davis only lived there a few months. As soon as Virginia joined the Confederacy, he made a beeline for Richmond, never to return.
I once took a tour of the White House of the Confederacy in Richmond. My tour guide was a black man who, during the conduct of his tour spoke quite favorbly of President Davis.
I spoke with him after the tour and asked if he was aware of the monument to Jeff Davis in Kentucky, a 2/3rd-scale replica of the Washington Monument located just to the northeast of Fort Campbell. He said he knew the monument quite well and had been there many times while he was serving as a Sergeant Major in the 101st Airborne Division’s 3rd Infantry Brigade, the Rakkasans.
From this I surmised that he hadn’t just developed an interest in President Davis for his position as a tour guide and when I raised the issue he answered that he had been studying Davis since boyhood. Then he added that veneration of Davis had been handed down through the generations in his family from his great-great-grandfather, a black man, who served as a Confederate cavalryman and fought alongside Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Change it to Stool Bend to make her more comfortable and less confederate.

Black is bad and anti American
Afro heritage minority minority is good and American
A coworker’s dad worked at the Last Confederate White House in Danville VA. He was from NYC and had a thick NY accent which people found amusing.
