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.

Revealed: SPLC Co-Founder Accused of Trying to Molest Step-Daughter

Southern Poverty Law Center Founder Morris Dees Tried to Molest Step-Daughter Chances are that if you're reading this you have heard of The Southern Poverty Law Center. The non for profit legal organization that has provided information to law enforcement and is a "go to" source of information by almost every reporter that encounters a "controversial" story. Widely known for its defense of Civil Rights the SPLC has filled its coffers defending the oppressed and exposing hate-groups, at least that is how the organization wants to be perceived. The reality is that the SPLC has made their millions by twisting the facts. They would have the public believe there is a Klansman hiding behind every tree and a Nazi at every podium.  I once found myself in their crosshairs by proposing to hoist a Missouri Battle Flag at the grave of Missouri Confederate Colonel William Jeffers in Jackson, Missouri. The ironic thing about their opposition to this "hate-c...

An Open Letter to Cape Girardeau Missouri Mayor Bob Fox Regarding the City's Confederate Monument

An Open Letter to Cape Girardeau Mayor Bob Fox, Cape Girardeau, Missouri Dear Mayor Fox, On June 12, 2020 KFVS-12 news interviewed a “community activist” who created a petition calling for the removal of a memorial honoring Southeast Missouri’s Confederate soldiers. In the interview Sophia Voss made a baseless claim that the statue was originally erected in 1931 near the old Mississippi River bridge on Morgan Oak street as a warning to African-American citizens traveling through the area. There is no basis for that claim whatsoever. KFVS also interviewed “community historian” Denise Lincoln who stated, “I think that if I were African-American, bringing my family through this area, and the first thing I saw was CSA, a monument to the Confederacy, this might be a town you just keep driving through.” I can’t help but feel that Mrs. Lincoln lacks professionalism and objectivity. If I were an African-American traveling through Cape Girardeau the first thing I would notice is the depleted co...

Emancipation Expectations

Some historians believe that the Emancipation Proclamation never freed a single slave and that it was a political ploy to garner support for the war by rebranding it as a moral fight. Information found in the National Archives seems to support their argument. According to the article entitled " Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 ": "Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of African Americans, and fundamentally transformed the character of the war from a war for the Union into a war for freedom." The transformation was a success politically but in reality the "emancipated" slaves were labeled as "contraband".  Their fate was not freedom but rather a new type of slavery through exploitation. Information found in a paper entitled " Civil War in the Delta: Environment, Race and the 1863 Helena Campaign " states: "By early June ...
