Guest Post: The Gate Needs to Come Down
"The Memorials are of black and brown people that have been killed due to what we fight to end,
white supremacy!"
~ Wilnitka Morrison
"The gate bothers me, it’s offensive even and until the appeals are done, need to come down! But during black history month, I’m appalled at the symbolism that Levar M. Stoney and
Governor of Virginia
Ralph Northam
, DGS, and friends, that’s very noticeable, degrading, bad taste and time, allowed.Lee, confederate, slave owner, a leader of white supremacy who said,
“The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their instruction as a race, and, I hope, will prepare and lead them to better things”. Now get to stand on top of black folks once again like a overseer, while behind a chained fence!?! During black history month too?! #EPICFAIL #RVA How can it be worse? The Memorials are of black and brown people that have been killed due to what we fight to end, white supremacy! And like they lie and says the civil war wasn’t over slavery, clearly was, they lied to us saying it was construction, and temporary. As you quote Dr. King, replay the I have a dream speech, we the black, brown, and white people #TOGETHER made it possible, on ground that was meant to divide and to keep white supremacy alive. You basically spit on his Dr. King’s dream, and smacked us in the face."
