THIS is but one of a million reasons why today is #4thOfYouLie:
“Sons of the Confederate Veterans..have defended the carvings as honoring Confederate soldiers..The new exhibit would ‘..utterly ignore the purpose..in creating & maintaining’ the park..” as a monument to the confederacy.😶
#AmeriKKKa😶
Exactly this.
Every day on #4thOfYouLie for the last 30+ years.
That is STILL resonates so strongly is #AllWeNeedToKnow.
On this #4thOfYouLie, America:
“Merit” hs always = “white”
“Rich” ws also a plus, but not required to benefit frm whiteness in SOME measure
“Merit” for Black ppl hs always = OVER-qualified AND STILL having your qualifications questioned by mediocre white ppl who could NEVA😶
My Afternoon Re-Read:
Rich US colonists wanted to keep more money in their pockets & rule without interference from England.
Most of them wanted to maintain a slave society.
AND settlers wanted to cross the Royal Proclamation Line to seize more Native Lands.
That's why they rebelled.

White ppl can act as if all of this is new.
Black ppl know that it is not.
We know our history. #4thOfYouLie:
