Confederadication: Jacksonville, Virginia and the Washington Post

DECEMBER 26, 2022

**  Jacksonville City Council President  says Confederate monuments will come off 'back b urner.'  (Jacksonville, Florida.  I understand that crime in Jacksonville is on the rise among black folks.  Looks like that should be more important of a thing to address than removing Confederate monuments.  But, NO!!) 

**  Parks in Fairfax's Franconia District scrap the Confederate 'Lee' name.  (Virginia)

Candace Owens Defends Confederate Flag

From the December 21, 2022, Media Matters.

I had to look her up after seeing the video.  She is a black woman of a conservative bent.  So she definitely is opinionated.  However, what she had to say struck a cord with me because people whose ancestors, like mine, fought for the Confederacy, should not be made to feel ashamed of them.

She was incorrect on a few things she said, but overall made her point.

Here is what she said:

"I do not see a problem with people whose family members died fighting for that flag to be able to wave it high.  It is historical and the idea that your son or daughter went and marched in a war--  that people are so stupid they think they were fighting for slavery, those people who fought were piss-poor and never had a slave a single day in their life.

"They fought for the south and their sons signed up, went to war, and now they're told that even having a flag or having any pride for their relatives is something wrong and dirty and backwards and racist and associated with slavery.

"People are so ignorant about slavery and the numbers on slavery.  I mean, the idea that everyone had slaves in the south is so stupid.  It was incredibly uberwealthy.  It's be like people believing that everyone today has a yacht.

"I mean, it's just so--  I'm just going to stop ranting about it.  The answer is people should be allowed to keep their c(C)onfederate  flags and wave them because it represents an element of history."

Like I said, she made some good points.  A video accompanies the article.

Is 130 Years a Long Time? Lacks to Replace Lee

DECEMBER 21, 2022

**  Future of Confederate monument in Stone Mountain Cemetery under debate.

**  The last Confederate statue in Richmond has been removed after 130 years.  (It seems to me that 130 years is an awful long time for it to stand before some folks realized they were offended by it.)

********************************

DECEMBER 22, 2022

**   Statue of Henrieta Lacks to replace Robert E. Lee.  (Roanoke, Virginia.  She was a black woman who deserves a statue because her cancer cells were taken without her permission and have helped with the fight against the disease.  She deserves a statue, but the Lee one should have remained.)

--Old Secesh

States with Most Confederate Memorials

DECEMBER 20, 2022

**  States with most Confederate memorials.  (73 Confederate monuments were removed or renamed in 2021.  There are still 723 of them left.   This has to really upset SPLC and the Washington Post.))

**  West Point commences remediation efforts.  (There are 13 Confederate assets and memorabilia that need to be removed.  Personally, I would like to see the Confederate Armstron cannon captured at Fort Fisher and on display at the Point's Trophy Point returned to the fort.  I could definitely live with that.  Hey, after all it is CONFEDERATE!!)

DECEMBER 2, 2022

**  How Army bases in the South were named for defeated Confederates.  (New York Times.  By 1917, Army policy stated that all bases that housed Southerners should be named after Confederate commanders.  An interesting account of all nine bases whose names will be changed.  Personally, I support changing the names because they did fight against the United States.)

Another National Survey on Statue Removal

NOVEMBER 3, 2022

**  Southern attitudes toward Confederate monuments and reforming public spaces.  (Findings from a national survey.  Interesting numbers.  Of interest, every state in the South and even across the nation has 50% and more wanting them left in place or have context added to them.)

Of course, it is my belief that the absolute best way to determine how people stand on statue removal would be to put it to a vote.  I'd go along with the will of the majority of the people and also am fairly sure that, unless the people in a voting district are primarily Blacks, the vote will be to keep the statues.  Look what has happened in Virginia when it has been put to a vote.  Virginians have come a long way in my mind as to redeeming themselves, other than Sad R..

**  Resolution to fund Confederate statue removal in Jacksonville fails.  (The vote was 13-6 against it.  Cost expected to be $1.3 million.  The bill sponsor says he has private donors signed up to remove them.  I would support removal as long as those who want them removed pay for it themselves.  And, that amount has to cover reinstallation.)
