Racism Task Force claims that the National Archives Rotunda is “racist”

The National Archives Rotunda houses the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. According to the National Archive’s own racism task force, this structure is too racist. They claim that historical White Americans are portrayed too positively. They took issue with some of the words used to describe minorities. One of their proposals “to correct this issue” is to stage dances or performance art in the Rotunda. This would start conversations regarding the “mythologization” of the founding era.
From Fox News:
“For example, a search of Thomas Jefferson in OurDocuments.gov brings up 24 results. He is described in this sample lesson plan as a ‘visionary’ who took ‘vigorous action’ to strengthen the ‘will of the nation to expand westward,'” the report continues.
“The plan does not mention that his policy of westward expansion forced Native Americans off their ancestral land, encouraged ongoing colonial violence, and laid the groundwork for further atrocities like the Trail of Tears,” it added.
Additionally, the report calls for “the creation of safe spaces in every NARA facility” and says NARA has “a responsibility to eliminate racist language in archival descriptions and revise the policies and practices that led to it.”
The task force said that “racist language” includes “not only explicitly harmful terms, such as racial slurs, but also information that implies and reinforces damaging stereotypes of BIPOC individuals and communities while valorizing and protecting White people,” the report reads. “Descriptive terminology cannot be divorced from its context.”
Cassie Smedile, executive director of conservative group America Rising, said that the report is “the radical Left’s latest attempt to sow division and rewrite our history.”

If this wasn’t so nuts it’d just be dumb.
It’s a part of the plan, and right out of Alinsky’s playbook.
Some people say Alinsky had a political goal in mind. The more I see of people following that bastard’s advice, the more I believe that’s not true. He was just that special kind of sick fuck that wants to watch the world burn. The kind who can only find happiness in inflicting pain and suffering on others.
Now that I think about it, that sums up the left pretty well overall. They can’t all be stupid enough to believe their contradictory and self-defeating ideas will create utopia. Most of them have to know on some level that it’s all bullshit. They just want to see others suffer. Is that psychopathy? Sociopathy? Whatever it is, it needs to be culled.
Nah. Many are true believers. That’s why they are so dangerous.
I wonder which option is worse. Either way, it always leads to hell on earth.
Utopia is always the next execution of useful idiots or gulag away for them. The next time will be “real” Socialism, too.
Alinsky dedicated his book “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer.
Quoted Text:
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
Oh FFS! The RAAYYYCCIIIISST Race Baitors calling an inanimate object RRRAAAAYYYYCCCIIIIST?
Keep it up, Fuzzballs! You gonna have taxpayers of ALL Races coming after you…with rope, torches, pitchforks, and feathers infused tar.
If you hate this Country, and it’s History, here’s a novel idea…LEAVE! We’ll start your journey on a rail. I hear that China, Korea, Cuba, Russia, and particularly, Venezuela are nice this time of year.
If we are such a RRAAAYYYCCIISST Country why are so many people trying to get in?
PHUQUE THEEEM!!!
If they keep taking the real meaning out of everything, There’s going to come a point where nothing means anything! That made sense in my head!!
Maybe I should have said where everything means nothing!!
What do you mean? 😆😆😆
Poe, I think he means that we need to get mean…real mean! As in mad dog mean. Know what I mean? It’s making me mean that anything and everything that means nothing is being twisted. It’s almost like a Gang of New York. Or some Boys from the Bowery. These twerps don’t Know Nothing about anything or everything.
I’m sharpening knives, unfurling Black Flags, plucking chickens, melting down asphalt, splitting logs, laying in new supplies of rope, checking pointiness of tine tipped toolege, and stashing away fat lightered pine limbs as we speak. Get my meaning?
Least they have learned a little from History. What they’re doing now has been done before, with just a little modifications on the recipients of their wrath.

I’m investing in precious metals. Brass, copper, and lead.
It’s Newspeak; i.e., deliberately ambiguous and contradictory language used to mislead and manipulate the public; or, language devised by the totalitarian government to shrink vocabularies and minds, and eliminate reality and the truth.
Middle-finger-salute – SAH-LUTE!! This transcends the very definition of idiotic… And as KoB correctly points out, at some point soon(possibly sooner-than) – a bunch of folk are just gonna go straight to Fukit and start ‘constitutionally expressing’ their own brand ‘consternation’ and ‘disgust’.. Patience and respect only goes so far

“Start a conversation…”
Yeah, no. This is me ending the conversation: go fuck yourself, you neither-commie America-hating piece of shit.
Neo-commie. Fuck iPhones.
“Start a conversation” means STFU and listen to my rant, you racist.
Yeah, a one-way conversation… dictating to them from a position of strength. Peace through superior firepower!
If you continue to judge history in the context of today’s world, you’re gonna spend your life miserable and wallowing in the mire of perpetual victim mentality. History is not pretty. It’s racist, misogynist, sexist, all of those bad -isms and -ists. Study it, learn from it, don’t repeat it. Just don’t apply today’s standards to it. It won’t work.
Yup…for instance, if they would check out the actual history of the Trail of Tears, they would find that one of the now favored minorities, American Indians, were accompanied on that trek by the thousands of black slaves the tribal members owned.
And many of those slaves were not freed by their Indian masters until well-after the Civil War. Even then, most were not accepted as equals by the tribes and not admitted to tribal membership, many being banished from tribal lands with little more than the clothes on their backs.
Funny how that history revision thing works, hmm?
But…but…they lived in harmony with the Earth!
We all live in harmony with the earth, once we die.
Inferior people yapping about how their betters make them feel sad.
Nope. Don’t care.
The condition of slavery still exists in the US of A, but instead of a concrete chattel state now it consists of mental serfs, beholden to perverted-aristocratic institutes of ‘learning’, traded on the block by free-moneyed banksters, using twisted and diminished history as chains, and their weaponized automated feelings as whips.
These people perform these heinous screeching matches for accolades from each other and for another piece of mackerel from their trainers.
…full of sound and [fart noises], Signifying nothing.
To everyone pimping the CRT shit I say fuck you to the end of time and I look forward to further backlash because IT’S COMING in places outside of the blue locales that libtards confine themselves to.
That seems antithetical to the purpose and mission of the National Archives and Records Administration. Revising history is neither archival nor proper recording.
Can’t wait to hear Dipshit try to spin this one.
Fuck him.
IF he has the cojones to show up he’ll just babble his usual idiocy and make a fool of himself once again.
Concur. I’ll make popcorn. BYOB.
I know I’m just an old white guy these days who took full advantage of my white privilege to climb from the depths of poverty to a reasonable standard of living that involves luxuries I never dreamed of as a child, but I have to ask as I am an uncultured, relatively vulgar soul…has anyone ever seen an interpretative dance routine that’s changed their mind about anything other than the reality that interpretive dance routines are duller than paint drying in July in rural Nebraska? Thomas Jefferson was a visionary for his time, as were most of the founders. They of course had flaws, some of the serious. Anyone with some critical thinking ability learned that before leaving high school I hope… That said the vision they had of a nation of equals was unheard of in its day…the method they constructed for building this nation and the foundation of legal concepts the put into place created the very system that addressed the issues they could not when they created that system. That legal framework was the basis for ending slavery, for recognizing the right of all people to vote, the right of all people to seek a redress of the grievances of government from the very government itself. They knew they weren’t perfect, and they knew government would never be perfect…but compared to the legal framework of many other nations around the world that I’ve had the pleasure to visit and do business with our legal framework continues to recognize the expansion of those basic precepts to more minority populations in this nation than in most other nations. We are not perfect yet, and we will never be perfect, but there remains a reason why people will risk life and limb to get here…because we still represent the best chance for someone with nothing to build something that is their own, something that they could never build where they came from, that they could only build here… So yes those men depicted in the Rotunda, judged through the lens of today appear to be far different than who they… Read more »
