Higseth deceives the conference by requesting the return of racist confederation to Arlington

Verbal gymnastics by our Minister of Defense Whenever Orders of Confederate Monument for Returning is really Olympic.

For kindness, Minister Beit Higseth just ordered the army to renew a confederation in Arlington in 1914 to up to $ 10 million and restore it by 2027. Higseth called “a monument …

In his announcement, HegSeth avoids the actual name of the monument, “The Arlington Confident Monumment”. In fact, nothing in his statement mention the Confederation at all. There is a reason for this: Congress approved a law in 2019 that prevents the Ministry of Defense from naming or rename anything after the Confederation. Thus, the “reconciliation monument”.

I am studying the Confederate celebration. This structure is one of the most cruel and most racist effects in the country, and its location on the Holy Land of the Arlington National Cemetery makes it more attack. It is clear that the memorial celebrates the confederation and its purpose – the slavery of Chattel.

He depicts a tearful and overweight woman, “Mami”, and she aims to a child who is enslaved and supported him while he was leaving for war. The monument depicts the faithful slaves and soft white professors, a historical lie. Slavery has appeared legal rape, torture, and the husband of a wife, a mother from the mother.

The memorial fell because Congress, with the Republican Senate, issued a law directed the Pentagon “to remove all names, symbols, presentations, antiquities and tools that honor or revive the celebration of the US Confederation.” President Trump objected to the $ 800 billion defense bill because it requires changing nine basic names such as Fort Li and Fort Penning, which was honored. These bases were named during World War I and the Second World War, when the army and the southern American were separated, and a few black southerners can vote. Congress abolished the veto in Trump with a supernatural channel.

To implement this matter, Congress established a nomination committee on which it worked as vice president. We did not “wake up to the boats.” Among the eight commissioners appointed by Congress and the Minister of Defense are three Republicans, Democrats and four retired science officers.

When members of the committee visited the Confederation in 2022, we were shocked by its public racist images and its opposing feelings. We voted unanimously to recommend removing.

He argues the Higseth and New Confederation groups that the committee sought to “erase history”. not quite. The classes are still studying the civil war, slavery, confederation and Jim Crowe. The removal of the names of the rules called the Confederate Generals or racist effects has changed from and how we revive a memory, if our abbreviation is from Congress, not history.

Higseth also declares that the monument has been made in a spirit of reconciliation. Its history is greatly mistaken. Rionon had already occurred in 1868 when President Andrew Johnson, frankly, was pardoned for treason to all the Confederations. By 1877, all previous rebellious countries had full rights and political representation.

In 1914, the Arlington Not celebrated reconciliation, but rather the victory of white excellence. Before 1877, more than 2000 black men held an electoral position, including the Black American Senate member of Mississippi. By 1914, although Mississippi and South Carolina were a majority black, almost no one can vote, much less than his position. Jim Crow was victorious.

Reconciliation did not include 9 million African origin in the south who lived in a racist police state without the voting rights imposed by a terrorist campaign from the death. In 1914, NAACP 55 Crises Magazine was calculated by African Americans. In Louisiana, three black men were alive at stake. Another mob encouraged a Texas man with gasoline, put him in a “box filled with oil and dryness” and set him a fire. None of the perpetrators were brought to justice.

The celebration should inspire us. Who we repeat must reflect our values. Instead of spending $ 10 million to restore this memorial, we must celebrate 1,800 colored soldiers from the United States and thousands of civil war soldiers in the US military buried in Arlington who helped destroy slavery, and liberated 4 million men, women and children from human slavery, protected democracy and protection of the United States of America.

By arranging the memorial, Higseth destroys Congress and the will of the American people. It tells us that the values of 1914, white sovereignty, and Jim Crowe are the values of this country – and the value of the army. This monument is related to racism and has nothing to do with reconciliation. The indication of otherwise is a distortion in our history and an insult to all buried in the Arlington Cemetery.
