Civil War II: What Has Happened to Virginia? Has the Whole State Forgotten Its History? Are They Trying to Cover It Up?

February 19, 2020

**  Debunking some of the myths surrounding the Confederate narrative.  (A S.C. college professor wrote this book.

**  Should I speak up about a worker's Confederate battle flag?

**  Camp:  The Southern belle needs a costume change.  (From the UVA student newspaper.  Very anti-Confederate.   Southern belles represent "a warped form of 19th century fact."  Of course, not surprisingly, UVA is in Charlottesville.)

**  Battlefield Battles:  Proposed African-American history museum draws criticism.  (Virginia--  The criticism is by Blacks who say they didn't have input and are afraid it is a Confederate ploy.  But, I am surprised Blacks wouldn't want a museum about them.)

**  Editorial:  First step for monument removal -- check.  (Loudon Va. Times-Mirror--   They applaud the Virginia legislators for putting fate of statues in local hands, rather than state.  But, the problem here is that local cities in Virginia seem to be in the control of Blacks and/or their white minions, who will get rid of this history as fast as they can.

I would support a local referendum by the people on statue removal.  If the people choose to remove it, then remove it.  But, don't leave it up to local governing bodies.

**  Father disturbed when his two-year-old catches racist figurine during Mardi Gras parade.  (WBRZ Baton Rouge, La.--  Among the beads thrown from a float was a caricature of a black man holding a watermelon.  This is a racist thing.  It shouldn't have been thrown.  Of course, though, I doubt that a 2-year-old would be as traumatized by it as was his father.
