Stockton University (in New Jersey) has removed a bust of their namesake, Richard Stockton, because he was evil and owned slaves in the 1700's. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, spent time on a prison ship during the war, and ultimately died from the wear and tear of that ordeal, but dying for your country when creating said country apparently pales in comparison to being a slaveholder.

Now, the formerly unknown Hampton Roads/Eastern Shore Progressive Democrats of Virginia are calling for the removal of a forgotten Confederate monument in Virginia Beach.

That 27-foot-tall statue honoring Confederate veterans is a “disgrace on the city,” they said.

For those who have never seen it – that would be most residents of Virginia Beach – the monument rests at the corner of North Landing and Princess Anne roads by the old Princess Anne Courthouse.

Hold on one minute.

Princess Anne Road? Princess Anne Courthouse?

When was the last time you thought about the namesake of everything from strip malls to schools and streets in the Beach?

My turn to gin up some righteous indignation.

Fact is, we say ”Princess Anne” so often around here that most of us have forgotten that chunks of our fair city are named for an obese, gout-ridden queen who was the last of the Stuarts to rule England, Ireland and Scotland.

She absolutely loathed Catholics, by the way.

I had to do some digging – thank goodness for Wikipedia – to refresh my memory of English history and this monarch who was beloved for a time in southeastern Virginia.

Who knows why she engendered such affection?

According to my research, Princess Anne was the daughter of the last Catholic king of England, James II. He was not king when she was born, though. Her Protestant uncle, Charles II, was. The king insisted Anne and her sister Mary be raised as Protestants.

Mary was eventually married off to William of Orange, a member of the Dutch royal family. They became the infamous duo of William and Mary. You’ve no doubt heard of them.

In 1685, Charles died, James II became king and all was well for a couple of years until William of Orange – fed by anti-Catholic fervor – ran James out of the country in 1688.

(Ever wonder why the Protestants in Northern Ireland parade around in orange frocks from time to time to annoy the heck out of Catholics? It’s to honor “King Billy” of Orange who defeated the “papist” king.)

William and Mary reigned as joint monarchs but had no children. Mary died first and William followed in 1702.

That’s when Princess Anne suddenly found herself Queen Anne of England.

The reigns of these monarchs were rife with anti-Catholic bigotry, which had unpleasant consequences for my ancestors – and perhaps yours – who were living in Ireland. There they wore rags, ate potatoes and struggled to survive under the so-called Penal Laws, which were crafted to humiliate, impoverish and sometimes kill Irish Catholics.

On the other hand, a lot of rousing music and great poetry grew out of all that suffering. So there’s that.

It’s worth noting that in 1701, England adopted the Act of Settlement, which guaranteed that no Catholic or anyone married to a Catholic could ever inherit the crown.

That law was modified a couple of years ago. Seems heirs to the throne can now marry Catholics, but they can’t be Catholic themselves. Those Brits, so progressive.

If Virginia Beach is going to purge itself of a disgraceful past, perhaps we should start not with a Confederate monument that no one ever sees but with a name uttered every day by unwitting locals.

Princess Anne.

Once that’s accomplished, let’s move on to other namesakes that have their roots in England.

College of William & Mary, I’m looking at you.

Oh, and Kings Grant neighborhood, you’re next.

If they put up a bust of John Stockton, the Utah Jazz point guard, they can keep their name.

Working their way to the top of the list, before you know it they will get to Jefferson, Washington etal, among founding fathers. He was good friends of Washington. Looks like 16 of the 41 signers did not own slaves.

Better boycott the Bison vs Robert Morris game, because Robert Morris was a slave owner. Boycott hundred dollar bills because Ben Franklin was a slave owner. Maybe better to forgive and move on.

ALL VETERANS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITIES

That's the latest SJW argument posted in a newsletter posted at the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs...

"A four-year, traditional university is supposed to be a place of learning, of understanding, of safety and security. However, there is an element among us who may be frustrating those goals: Veterans.

UCCS is known for its number of veterans who are full and part-time students. But these veterans of much of the school prides themselves on may be hurting the university.

First off, many veterans openly mock the ideas of diversity and safe spaces for vulnerable members of society. This is directly in contradiction to the mission of UCCS. Many veterans utter the mantra that they, "do not see color". But the problem lies in their socialization into the military culture that is that of a white supremacist organization. They have been permanently tainted, and are no long fit for a four-year university.

Second, many students are frightened by the presence of veterans in their classrooms. Veterans usually have an overwhelming presence in the classroom, which can distract other students. This is usually true for vulnerable individual such as LGBTQQI2SAA, who have been known to be the butt of insensitive jokes made by veterans.

Finally, veterans usually are associated with extremists right-wing groups such as the tea party and the NRA. In order to provide a safe place for all students, extremist right-wing groups must be suppressed on campus. This would include their followers: veterans.

That is not to say that veterans should not be allowed an education. Veterans should be allowed to attend trade schools, or maybe even community college. But, in order to protect our academic institutions we must ban veterans from four-year universities."

It was good to read the quotes from students that weren't afraid to speak up against the letter ...

"They [the authors of the letter] try and talk about inclusion as a principle," said UCCS student Joe Hollmann. "Yet, they're excluding one of the most important members of society, those that are guarding our freedom to even talk about this."

"There's a lot of hate in the world," said fellow UCCS student Caleb Hensley. "You can't fight hate with hate."

A Boom in Confederate Monuments, on Private Land

GEORGETOWN, Del. — One of the proudest moments of Robert Eldreth’s life was erecting a Confederate monument on a patch of grass behind the Georgetown Historical Society in 2007. It was the first monument to Delawareans who had served the Confederacy, and the fact that it came 142 years after the end of the war hardly mattered.

“It’s a lesson in history,” said Mr. Eldreth, who led the group that put it up. “It’s about our roots and the sacrifices that those citizens here in Delaware made. To me that’s so honorable.”....

That kind of stuff was way more of a factor in Trump winning than the economy was. Traditional White Christian Culture has been under assault in many ways. The kind of thing indicated in your post is one manifestation. Stuff like same sex marriage is another.

But in the long run it's a losing battle. The Trump phenomenon is the last gasp. And even during that last gasp the Democrat won the majority of the vote. The other side is going to win in the long run. All the trends are in their favor.

Meanwhile it remains a shame that the advocates of Traditional White Christian culture chose an atrocity like Trump to rally behind. That makes their situation even more dire. No credibility from here on out.

A democrat did not win the majority of the vote. She had more votes than Trump, specifically California, where she won by over 4 million votes. In the overall election, she beat Trump by 2.9 million votes. Clinton only had 48.2 % of the total vote, 51.8% did not vote for her.

It wasn't really Trump that they stood behind, it was Clinton they didn't want in office.

[Jjoey52]

Throw out California the skank looks lost the total popular vote.

Maybe a line has been drawn? Baltimore mayor (who previously included the removal of the Chief Justice Taney monument in Baltimore under the guise of removing Confederate monuments, despite the fact that Taney never joined the Confederacy and was an active member of the American government through the Civil War) has decided that despite the vandalism, a monument for Francis Scott Key will remain.

Key, of course, wrote the poem that became the national anthem. Even though no one's ever heard the 3rd stanza sung before (I'm sure someone somewhere has, hyperbole here) the reference to runaway slaves fighting for the British in that stanza has triggered people. And of course, Key owned slaves in his life and actually argued cases (he was a lawyer) that in the light of the 21st century would deem him to be a racist and likely white supremacist to the same people triggered by the unsung stanza of the anthem. Good quotes in the article.

“It’s so counterproductive, what they’re doing,” he said. “History’s messy. It’s nuanced. It’s something to talk about, not something to erase.”

“The bottom line is monuments are there to ask the viewer to remember something very specific,” he said. “If that monument is there for the person who wrote and memorialized the Battle of Baltimore, then that’s what that monument is saying. It’s not saying white supremacy is righteous and godly.”
