CNN Goes There: Asks If Thomas Jefferson Memorials Should Be Removed Because He Owned Slaves?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As the Confederate Flag hysteria escalates, CNN's Ashleigh Banfield asks fellow CNN mouthpiece Don Lemon if it’s now appropriate for lawmakers to start a future conversation about whether or not the monument of Thomas Jefferson should be removed from the U.S. Capitol.

 

As DailySurge reports,

Thomas Jefferson–like a lot of people 270 years ago–owned slaves. He inherited them from his father. Jefferson gave away many of the estimated 170 slaves he owned after his death. While writing in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal,” Jefferson didn’t believe blacks and whites were equals.

 

But Thomas Jefferson didn’t want to divorce from the union in order to preserve slavery. In fact, Jefferson wrote constantly and argued regularly about whether or not the founders should include the abolition of slavery in the Bill of Rights.

The bespectacled Banfield speaks...

*  *  *

Banfield is foolish to conflate the Confederate flag with a Thomas Jefferson memorial. And we fear the stupid won’t be receding anytime soon.

*  *  * 

Just one more reminder, as we noted earlier, it seems few had any major "tear down these flags" problems with The Confederate Flag until some nutjob kills less people than die in Chicago every Friday night. Populist policy-setting and news media provocation by Lowest Common Denominator appears to be the nanny-state's new media normal.

It is about separating people from their culture, symbols and common heritage. Sure the confeds owned slaves. That is immoral in my way of thinking.
But Old Glory has used chemical weapons against it's own people, used DU against people in Iraq, dropped 2 nukes on a country about to surrender................

Plus there is the underlying message of secession in the confederate flag, that is what they are attacking.

If they could get away with it, you know they'd turn the gas on for "thought crimes". First disarm the populace, because the acting self-defense of those they would wish to destroy is nothing more than an occupational hazard. Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot would all agree.

"Behind the secession of the South from the Union, after Lincoln was elected President in the fall of 1860 as candidate of the new Republican party, was a long series of policy clashes between South and North. The clash was not over slavery as a moral institution-most northerners did not care enough about slavery to make sacrifices for it, certainly not the sacrifice of war. It was not a clash of peoples (most northern whites were not economically favored, not politically powerful; most southern whites were poor farmers, not decision-makers) but of elites. The northern elite wanted economic expansion-free land, free labor, a free market, a high protective tariff for manufacturers, a bank of the United States. The slave interests opposed all that; they saw Lincoln and the Republicans as making continuation of their pleasant and prosperous way of life impossible in the future."

Howard Zinn has dismissed or ignored the passion ignited by the likes of John Brown and Harriet beecher Stowe. He somehow lost sight of the fact that the Republican party was created soley for the purpose of abolishing slavery. That was it: a party oif abolitionists. A plurality of the people of the United States voted Republican in 1860 solely because they wanted an end to slavery. Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman credited John brown's passionate -and violent- crusade to end slavery with making it clear to Americans that the only way to end slavery in America was for white men to go to war against other white men to end it. Abraham Lincoln addressed Harriet Beecher Stowe, upon meeting her for the first time: "So, you are the little lady who started this war."

I don't know who Howard Zinn is, nor why anyone thought what he wrote was worth publishing, much less reading. But the paragraph which you chose to post here indicates that he is a conceited elitist, with no emotional and no ancestral connection to the  the Civil War. He is probably a "red diaper baby" (as Michael Savage likes to call them), born of Jewish Marxist Zionists.

Sorry to shout, but the dangerous insanity and lying of CNN has redlined out. I started watching Alex Jones (subscribed to his Prison Planet TV) and I must admit, the news there is much more real and a helluva of lot more entertaining. If this Thomas Jefferson story pisses you off, vote with your dollars, go to Alex Jones.

(note: for you Alex Jones haters, you can stay with CNN and Brian Williams. That's your choice.)

Jones is just something you run into, read a few posts and then move on to the real alternative news. You have quite a few layers of the matrix to peel back yet fellow.

A lot of people, not just Jon Stewart, have noticed that CNN and Fox News, just for starters, have displayed a shocking amount of ignornance and stupidity about this topic and lots of other topics.  But, it occurs to me that the media here is entirely innocent and are doing exactly what they should do: they hold up a mirror to the average consciousness and thinking of the nation.  If the result is hideous and sickening, that's where America is holding.

12 US Presidents owned slaves (Washington, Jefferson, Monroe,... http://home.nas.com/lopresti/ps.htm). So liberals/socialists should start talking about removing tens or hundreds of memorials in the US, renaming thousands of streets, parks, towns etc.

Before emancipation of blacks in 20th century, most of white population in the US were "racist" (by todays liberals' standards), still today most are, and in general most of the world is.

I think non-violent racism is a great thing, it helps people preserve their genes and culture. How is patriotism different from racism? Patriotism, i.e. loyalty to one's countrymen - even if they are culturally, genetically(racially), IQ-wise are very different, - is considered a good thing. While racism, i.e. loyalty to people with whom you share thousands of years of evolution, culture, genes, - is somehow the worst thing ever.

For me, non-violent racism is a great thing. But violent racism (i.e. Hitler-style) is immoral and wrong.

Well, owning slaves was only one of the hideous things the founding fathers did. I would say that committing genocide against the native americans and plundering their lands is also quite awful as well. However, it is unfair to judge people of the past by today's standards, since many people were fu**** back then, but by the same coin they do not deserve the reverence they receive either.

It should go, why? BECAUSE IT IS A BIG LIE! And it shows, most graphically, just how tight the grip of the Tribe has been on our nation, poisoning the minds of our people, from Jefferson's autobiography, the FULL QUOTE not just the fragment quoted on the Memorial:

Feb. 8, 1821, extract of entry for that date, full paragraph:

“The bill on the subject of slaves was a mere digest of the existing laws respecting them, without any intimation of a plan for a future & general emancipation. It was thought better that this should be kept back, and attempted only by way of amendment whenever the bill should be brought on. [Note 1 Cf. post, with Notes on Virginia in this edition.] The principles of the amendment however were agreed on, that is to say, the freedom of all born after a certain day, and deportation at a proper age. But it was found that the public mind would not yet bear the proposition, nor will it bear it even at this day. Yet the day is not distant when it must bear and adopt it, or worse will follow. Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation and deportation peaceably and in such slow degree as that the evil will wear off insensibly, and their place be pari passu filled up by free white laborers. If on the contrary it is left to force itself on, human nature must shudder at the prospect held up. We should in vain look for an example in the Spanish deportation or deletion of the Moors. This precedent would fall far short of our case.”

The modern democracies of the West, with their philosophies of the stomach and the stock exchange, cannot inspire the people nor protect them. They despise nationhood and despise race. But without our national and racial backbones how shall we stand erect? With quicksands as our foundation how shall we build? How shall we be true to ourselves if we have no selves? Our race is what we are; it is our form. It is our fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters and wives and children. They are the race. How then shall we count it of little worth? Shall we despise our own flesh and blood? Is that what modern democracy is supposed to mean? Is that what Christianity is supposed to mean?

This country is on a path to utter ruin and only an intervention by God can stop it.  He won't step in as we've utterly turned our backs on Him and his ways so the train will rush even faster off the cliff.  With technology and the speed of information things will accelerate.  Expect seismic shifts in the basics of our everyday lives to hit us in the next few years with increasing frequency.

And if we revered this God, you are saying he would man up and have the balls to fix things?  Don't think so.  You folks got to figure this shit out without divine help.  That is the gift you have been given.

@Rikky

The only way we can get the word out is essentially the way the Apostles did it; word of mouth or as we’re doing right here right now.

You are right the people, the birthright people of this great land must turn to God and not the Anti-Christs who have taken over the pulpits.

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

I Peter 2:9 Knox Bible
Not so you; you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a people God means to have for himself; it is yours to proclaim the exploits of the God who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

Deuteronomy 17:15 Knox Bible
15 The king you appoint must be the man the Lord your God chooses, one of your own race; you must not let an alien, who is not of your blood, bear rule over you.

Unfortunately their bullcrap spreads into other forms of media.  It is the other media that legitimizes the MSM by playing it.

Continuous race propaganda is an easy lever for "Just Us" to keep citizens wary of each other instead of uniting against the real enemy.

Personally, I feel no guilt, shame, etc... for anything that my or anyone else's ancestors did - that was their world - this one is ours.  

When real leaders emerge from those who endure this festering cesspool and unite everyone against their common enemy - "Just Us" is finished.

Damn spankey, just cancel the Constitution now because I think more than a few slave owners signed it. Nevermind the fact that we're all slaves now.

Was anyone ever going to erect a memorial to those white people in the Union Army that "freed the slaves"?

Didn't think so.

Ban the Lincoln penny. He never advocated for equality between whites and the "negro."  With hold all tax monies destined for every county named Davis (Jefferson), Lee (Robert E.) Jefferson (Thomas), Lincoln (Honest Abe) and Washington (George) for starters.  The reasoning is obvious :)  Fck Amerika

This CNN piece was only aired to get the hackles up of white Americans everywhere. This helps cultivate the next violent freak who's parents can't spell their child's name right, who also happens to lack considerable judgement.

Tired of watching history get shit on by these hacks.

Let's just admit we are no longer "united" states and lets abolish the imperial federal government.

See, this is what happens when you start blaming symbols.  Y'all do know that the compensation to the NAACP for the State taking the Confederate BATTLE FLAG off of the dome and put on a poll on the grounds was a statue for the slaves beside it. I wonder if that gets to go too.

 

And I HATE when the youtube starts without my consent. Stop it.

This "conversation" about the Confederate Battle Flag is no different than the "conversation" on gun control.

Now, not only can guns think for themselves and kill people, flags can too! But wait, there's more! Certain memorials are now also suspected of hurting people's feelings!

Full retard.

Fresh off giving Obongo his greatest victory even more than Obamacare the TPP here is the GOP Senator from KY:

Mitch McConnell:Take down statue of Jefferson Davis

Earlier Tuesday, a Kentucky gubernatorial candidate called for its removal, and last year, a former state treasurer started an online petition to replace Davis's statue with a memorial to boxer Muhammed Ali, who was born in Louisville.

Jefferson's problem as a historical icon is that he "killed the bank" Hamilton's positive as a historical icon is he instituted the bank. The bank of course is the parasite that has bled its host to such a weakened condition that it is likely the host will die....if slave owning had anything to with it then the present day debt peonage from birth and immediate ownership of part of the national debt until  death would be listed beside todays bankers as slave owners. So even when you think you've become debt free you haven't as it is priced into everything....taxes, gasoline, electric stove, candy bar and a steak dinner.

A self starting video... How nice, Now why would Tyler think we want to hear their racist hype?

As far as the topic of this conversation,,, Political Correctness is a form of self hate. Caucasians, through a variety of government programs and government education centers, Caucasians have been steadily beat down and blamed for just about everything. The purpose is to cause hate and discontent amongst all the races which violence eventually ensues. Then government comes in with a heavy hand to control the masses.It will eventually end with total disintegration of the nation. Government knows this but the quest for total power is too great in the USA.  So they do it anyway.

Other countries, Russia, China, Japan etc ensure the ratios stay the same. We used too but the self hate was too much. The laws were changed as people erroneously thought a more even mix would somehow erase the sins they felt their race committed. Peoples have been conquered and enslaved throughout the ages but somehow we overlooked that. Instead of just erasing the discrimination we felt the race supposedly responsible should experience the same even though it was their forefathers, not them,  that were guilty. The reverse discrimination added fuel to the fire.

The country is disintegrating and there is nothing that can be done. Within fifty years, probably less, the USA as we know it will no longer exist.That is when the corporations will make their move. An attempt will most likely be made to integrate Mexico and Canada at that time. When that happens everybody loses. Those that promoted the factions, the hate and discontent, will discover nothing has changed. Martial law will prevail and most will be destitute.

The statues, the flags, the constitution  will no longer matter as the breakup will render them moot. Our children (all colors) will have no future, slavery under a different color will be their norm for our bickering, fighting and killing one another. Rather than building a future for them as past generations done we will have left them homeless and without means and victims of the corporations.

They will hate us with a passion never before seen in history. And we will deserve that hate, regardless of what color we are.

This article is not remotely related to economics. Why is ZH publishing crap like this? Seeing all the racist drivel (and worse) in the comments section, does ZH publish stories like this simply to bait the racists, feed the racists or smoke out the racists? I look to ZH for economic news. I have come to the opinion, seeing the various articles that ZH chooses to publish and not publish on race issues, that ZH is mostly a race-baiter when itt comes to race issues. Near as  I can tell, ZH's purpose in running this article about CNN is to somehow make a point that all of the racism inherent in the confederate flag is somehow justified because of crime in Chicago. ZH continues the racist attitude that when whites kill blacks, it is not terorism, it is mental illness (or, "nutjob"). ZH continues the grotesque idea that "few" had any problems with the Confederate Flag until nine innocenet African-Americans were murdered in their church. News for ZH, tons and tons of people had a LOT of problems with the confederate flag before this happened, but perhaps many of those had the wrong skin colour to be counted into the "few", or had the wrong politics tto be counted into the "few". The Cconfederate Flag stands for racism and slavery and fighting desegregation and equality. Always has, always will. ZH should stop trying to find some indirect way to defend this racist flag. It is sickening reading the comments whose main purpose seems to be to trivialize slavery and commenters saying  they are "slaves" in various ways. Comments like there are utterly devoid of any appreciation of what slavery actually is, how many people suffered grievious injuries and died horrible deaths under slavery, and how widespread slavery continues to be today in India, China, the Middle East, US prisons, and many other places. ZH commenters are not slaves in any sense of the actual meaning of the word.
