Of "Diversity" and "Context"

From NBC News:

'Meet The Black Woman Reclaiming the Narrative of the Civil War'


"RICHMOND, Va. — On a hot July morning, Christy Coleman recounts the tales of hundreds of slaves who worked at the Tredegar Iron Works, a foundry located along the James River and a national landmark where weapons of the Confederacy were made during the Civil War. As she describes the burning of Richmond, Coleman explains how the ironworks survived and represents a tangible part of American history.

Contemplative, she looks around the 9-acre property. A natural born storyteller, she is animated as she details complexities of Civil War history that took place where she stands.

“History is all around us, we are living in the midst of our history, the question is how do we choose to navigate it?” said Coleman, who became the president of the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar in 2008."

So you probably figured out where this story was going when Coleman is quoted asking how to "navigate" history.  

NBC continues by reporting:

"The museum has three locations: Historic Tredegar, the White House and Museum of Confederacy, and the Museum of the Confederacy in Appomattox, Virginia. It is the first museum to offer the point of view of not only the Union and Confederacy, but also also that of the millions of enslaved persons, free and unfreed, that were involved in the war."

Before they were consolidated under the umbrella of the "American Civil War Center" the Tredegar Iron Works ,Confederate White House, the Museum of the Confederacy were all separate entities dedicated to the preservation of Confederate history and heritage.

While Coleman stated that she eased the fears of those who suspected she would use her role to "bash" the Confederacy by saying "no", the further the reader delves into the article the more clear it becomes.

She states that:

“Diversity simply means there are new questions that are being asked. That in and of itself is invaluable,” Coleman said. “You can’t say you’re being diverse if you have everybody that thinks the same thing regardless of what they look like. That’s not diversity, that’s just shading.”



One could , quite easily, surmise that what Coleman is really saying the history is not "dark enough". Coleman herself apparently believes that Confederate history is not sexually liberating enough as she is quoted by NBC stating:

"Coleman wants to give visitors the chance to the understand the war from all sides and keep the conversation open on others who were impacted, including members of the LGBTQ community and women. She says black people avoided talking about the Civil War for a long time because the narrative of the war was taken away from blacks."

Taking away the narrative from blacks? What? We have all been (falsely) taught that the only reason for the war was slavery, that the war was a moral struggle. The real reason for the war (according to Lincoln himself) was not slavery but taxes.

None of this is surprising considering the fact that Coleman was president and CEO of Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, was appointed by Richmond, Virginia Mayor Levar Stoney to a commission to decide what to do with the City's "Monument Ave." (which wants to remove the statue of President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis ) and was appointed by Virginia Governor ( and Clinton operative) Terry Mcauliffe to the Governor’s Advisory Council on Furnishing and Interpreting the Executive Mansion.

According to NPR:

"Just weeks before last year's "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney announced a new commission to recommend "how to best tell the real story" of the Confederate-era and other statues on Monument Avenue, a tree-lined street known as one of the city's tourist destinations.

Then the white nationalists gathered in Charlottesville, some 70 miles away. They rallied around a statue of Robert E. Lee that had been slated for removal during an August weekend that turned violent.

The next week, Stoney added to the Richmond group's charge: The commission would examine the possible removal or relocation of monuments."

Then the white nationalists gathered...

NPR is trying to portray the recommendation for the removal of the Jefferson Davis Monument in Richmond by the committee (appointed by Stoney which included Coleman) was because of "white nationalists) when in fact it was a plan that was well in the making before the events of Charlottesville , Virginia on August 11-12, 2017.

According to Professor James Fetzer the Charlottesville events were "political theater" in three acts. Fetzer writes:

Act I: A torch-lit protest around the statue of Thomas Jefferson on the campus of the University of Virginia, designed to draw the attention of the nation for the events the following day;

Act II: Local police stand down so VA State Police and National Guard could channel peaceful protesters of the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee into a violent confrontation with Antifa and Black Lives Matter;

Act III: At an intersection several blocks away, the actors were set and the vehicles in place to film dramatic—and carefully contrived—video footage.

You might be wondering what the lesson of this article is. For starters in regard to the total rewriting of history in Virginia (and across the South):

Navigate- means to divert individuals away from the truth.

Context- means to rewrite your history and demean your ancestors.

Diversity- means to accomplish an agenda by diverting people away from the truth in a manner which is less likely to "offend" those of the "politically-correct" faith (I say faith because liberalism is a religion to those who practice it).

Do you really think all of this has been one big coincidence?  Mayor Stoney's creation of a commission to decide what shall be done with the Confederate monuments in Richmond? The appointment of Coleman who was president and CEO of an African-American History Museum in Detroit? Using the Charlottesville riot as an excuse to try and remove the monument of Davis in Richmond? The evidence that suggests that Charlottesville was a "set up" made to make the defenders of Lee's monument look like the bad guys while giving free reign to militant leftists like Antifa? Clinton operative Governor Terry Mcauliffe's declaration of a "state of emergency" before any violence transpired and McAuliffe's previous affiliation with Coleman?

None of this is a coincidence. It was all pre-arranged in an effort to demonize the history of the Confederacy. Our Confederate heritage stands for everything the globalist hate, independence, sovereignty , states rights and freedom. if these principles are allowed to exist it is impossible for the "one worlders" to accomplish their goals.

Radio host John B. Wells has often mentioned that the country of South Africa is a testing grounds for what communists plan for America and I believe that the destruction of our history, heritage and historical monuments is only the beginning.

Fake News and False Information On Mississippi Scalawag Flag Proposal

WREG News Channel 3 (Memphis , Tennessee) is reporting : Photo credit: WREG News 3 "Laurin Stennis’ flag design has gained so much popularity that even those who order the flag want her autograph. She matched the colors exactly to the United States flag. “I think those are wonderful colors and the symbolism is meaningful, but also this is a strong standalone but when you pair it with the United States flag they make a handsome couple,” said Stennis. Nineteen stars circle around a large star, which represents Mississippi as the 20th state to join the Union in 1817. The large star is called Bonnie Blue. Stennis had some help producing the flags with Complete Flag Source. To date, well over 2,000 Stennis flags have been sold." According to the report Stennis' asks: "Is our logo doing it’s job? I would argue absolutely not because every time it comes up we fight about and we get tense.” Okay, where to start? WREG reports that the flag is...

The War That Wasn't: The Real Agenda Against All Things Confederate

The illustration on the left is an artist's concept of a Union soldier. I have to admit, I'm quite perplexed by it. Why? I shall tell you why. First he has a rifle. Second he has a uniform, a canteen a bedroll and a knapsack. In other words, this would-be soldier has all of the supplies and equipment that would ready him for a military campaign / battle. Why does this perplex me?  It perplexes me because recent events have led me to the conclusion that the "War Between the States" never happened. Given the events of recent years it's natural to conclude it didn't happen. Fox news compiled a running list of Confederate monuments that have been removed thus far and while the majority of those were at the hands of Democrats, there are several Republicans behind the removal of them.   Below is the list compiled by Fox News correspondent Christopher Carbone. christopher.carbone@foxnews.com Annapolis, Md.

How We Got Here , What Can We Do?

 For as long as I can remember both the Republican and Democratic parties have had their fair share of Lincoln defenders. The Republican Party was founded with the election of Abraham Lincoln thus Lincoln has been the party's trademark so to speak. The problem with this is that the Republican Party, presents itself as the party of smaller government, states rights and defenders of the Constitution and freedom. It is a problem because Lincoln was a proponent of big government, and committed acts that violated the Constitution. Ah, but defenders of Lincoln proclaim that President Lincoln had  to violate the Constitution to "save the Union." This defense of Lincoln by the Republican party has been effective from the end of the War Between the States until November , 2020 At the time of America's "Civil War" one could describe the Republicans as the Liberals and the Democrats as the Conservatives. This began to change with the election of President Franklin D. R...
