So, the University of Texas at Austin has a group of students circulating a petition that wants to take down the statue of George Washington.
Why? He was a slave owner..
Enough.
Just enough.
What's next, expect people to apologize because their ancestors owned slaves? Be careful. Most folks, if you dig hard enough both in the New World, and the Old World have skeletons you do not want known.
And everyone has skeletons. EVERYONE...
My family for years hid the fact why my great-great grandfather left Florida and hid in Texas. My generation laughs about it. It seems he beat a man to death and left before either the sheriff or the victim's family found him.
As I have not hidden for years, my actual last name is not Thomas.( it is, but it isn't.)
Makes it sort of hard to do ancestor research. ( actually, there's a distant family member who is doing work right now in Florida.)
At some point folks, enough.
