Right. But and we can know that screaming out a racial epithet while attacking a member of that race can go to evidence of motive. It's relevant. But to impute a motive is something else entirely.
I don’t disagree with you about Kate Smith, I’ve already stated that. My objection is your use of her example to make broader statements.
Okay. Then I retract the pragmatism argument if it's documented. Pragmatism still might not be an excuse when viewed through a human rights lens. You're practicing historicism right now by looking at the role of society and politics at the time of the New Deal, and judging its necessity forthwith.
Thanks. I was embarrassed by that, and tried to make amends. All I can do is say that I can look back at the egg on my face and laugh and call myself a dumb #### and try to make sure it never happens again. It's not like a "ha-ha look at me I'm cool and laughing" type deal, though. It's certainly a learning experience with a bit of humor attached at my own expense.
The song was not written by Smith correct? Both Smith and Robeson are artists and performers sang the song. Like many songs and words of that era I highly doubt they even thought it would be offensive and it took 80+ years to even be brought up.
If it hurt their sales then I would think it may be smart for them to do that. If they decided to do it on their own then it's not a big deal. Now, if the government stepped in and said they had to then we have a major issue.
And he made reparations for than transgression by changing it to Foghorn Leghorn, who I don't believe was a racist rooster.

The difference is that a company (such as Fritos/Pepsi) can apologize and/or disassociate itself from racist imagery, as Fritos did 48 years ago.
Also, it’s not like this statue is her only legacy. She was awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom before her death.
Yep. I think commies want to come for domestic history to make it "correct," always do, and he also likely wants to nationalize huge industries.
I’m not all up to date on this but I skimmed through and Hugh Hewitt is saying this was taken totally out of context
It's awfully hard to take that out of context given the transcripts I've been reading.
It all happened on Hewitts show if I’m correct? Read Hugh’s twitter feed to see his defense of it.
Yes, it was the weakest defense of something I could read. I can read a transcript. I don't care that he was interviewing the guy, he doesn't get to put an imprimatur on anything. He also didn't say "out of context," he said what he believed Buttigieg would do. I say we use Pistol Pete's own words there.
Oh, I think we'd get the hedgiest hedge in hedgeville. This isn't a real nuance issue. You're either for renaming or you're not.
Is there a difference in say renaming Jefferson Middle School and knocking down Jefferson Memorial? I do see a jump from changing names of places to actually changing history which is where I see what communism did- actually altering historical photos, documents, etc. Do you not see a difference or just see it as the slippery slope?
I see it as a revaluing of values in any sense, and that's where discernment comes in about who is doing the judging of what needs to be revalued, who is doing and how and why they are doing the revaluing, what the values offered as alternatives are, and the extent and nature of the change.
No, that's not the end of the thread. He's specifically calling for a revaluation of both Jackson and Jefferson. Yes, Jackson is more problematic in the transcript. But he never gives an answer about Jefferson.
Transcript:
Ah, I see. The Twitter thread is clear. He would rename at least all Jackson-Jefferson dinners and would reevaluate who and what we want to "honor," Jackson presumably getting knocked from all honors with Jefferson as slightly more "problematic."
You just don’t seem like you care about accurately reflecting what he said and wrongly portraying him as a commie.
He's for single-payer health care and reevaluating the Founders and lions of history. That's all I need to know about that commie.
Reevaluating the founders? Or events named after them. Because what you quoted was clear he wouldn’t erase any of it from history.
If it's their own party's fundraiser, then they should be allowed to rebrand it. Considering the Democratic Party traces their lineage back to Jackson, they can apologize for it all they want. Better not to be known as the "Party of Jackson" when there's a "Party of Lincoln" to contend with.
Shouldn’t the Democratic Party leaders in Indiana have control over revaluing and re-evaluating their fundraising dinners? If we get into public bi-partisan things like monuments or schools, then I think we have to re-evaluate.
Go cry, sho. The only people you have as voices in the forefront are commies or poor versions of one.
Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t the Jackson Jefferson dinner thing just a traditional Democratic fundraising event from 50 years ago?
Yeah sorry I kind of doubled up posts there
