RE: NYC Mayor hunts down offensive plaque

in #politics7 years ago

this Martin Armstrong article has a bunch more great examples of this lunacy:

Andrew Jackson was a slave owner and he started the Democratic Party to defend slavery. If Trafalgar Square and the Nelson’s statue should be torn down because he supported slavery, then the Democratic Party should be terminated, and Jackson’s portrait should be removed from the $20 bill would also follow that reasoning. That’s much more on point than Columbus. Perhaps these people should refuse to accept money in protest since they bare the image of racists to them.

How about Alexander Hamilton, he was probably a slave owner and he was definitely involved in transacting deals for the purchase, sale, and transfer of slaves, which is documented. The play Hamilton should be shut down and the minorities who lectured the Vice President when he attended should reflect on themselves as supporting racism. So anyone who goes to see that play would also be supporting racism?
