Of Wiley's Racist Monument, Bands and Roses With Offensive Names, and Pesky Confederate Flags

December 25, 2019

**  Kehinde Wiley's anti-Confederate memorial.  (He is the sculptor of the new monument in Richmond, Virginia.  I am hoping people pay more respect to it than they do to Confederate monuments even though it is racist.)

**  Upcoming court date in ongoing Confederate monument  court battle reset.  (Caddo, Louisiana)

**  NWA Letters to the Editor "Statue deserves new place in context of area history.  (Bentonville, Arkansas.  Wants Confederate statue moved.)

**  Confederate Railroad coming to Jackson County Fair.  (Iowa.  Here's hoping Gov. "Toilets" of Illinois won't cause it to be cancelled because of the logo and name.)

**  Resident objects to vendor's booth at Old Tyme Fair in New Jersey with Confederate flag for sale.

**  Confederate roses.  I did not know there was a type of rose named this, but hopefully the name won't have to be changed because of their connection to the "S" word.

Well, if Confederate monuments are racist, I guess Mr. Wiley's monument is of the same sort.
