How else would you portray slavery? Showing them lounging on a beach somewhere? What a moron.

"Was actually expecting a professor."

The janitor never bothered looking up in all his years on the job. More than likely, it was a professor who sought out the janitor and pointed out the windows to him. Better the janitor do the dirty work for the professor and lose his menial job. A professor, on the other hand, is much too important of a role in the liberal grand scheme.

I don’t know... Books are so hard to get a hold of these days. It’s easier to get a Glock. They are flooding our communities, you know.

Well with that thinking, The pyramids and sphinx should be demolished as they are the product of slave labor. What do you bet this SJW would cry at the prospect of destruction of those African monuments?

You forgot to mention that the racist president Woodrow Wilson has his finger prints all over Yale.

At least in 2016, the human brain is not full developed until one’s mid-20s. The last part to develop is that which is involved in judgment and responsibility—a truly adult quality. Thus the 18-year-old vote was and is a mistake.

The ability to exercise adult judgment and responsibility of course requires training. If universities are characterized by “safe spaces” and concern for “triggering”, “microaggession” and political correctness, it’s VERY hard to experience this training.

That’s why some students in their early 20s who are “SJWs” act extremely infantilized—even acting out like a typical 6-month-old baby!!!! I’m sure that you’ve seen videos of this behavior, which are difficult for me to watch.

When we can finally return to an economy in which graduating American seniors can expect to find decent jobs, and when they are expected to fulfill responsible roles in society, I imagine that this type of pathological behavior will end very fast!!!!

Wikipedia notes he was “Democratic-Republican (before 1825)” and “Democratic (1839-1850)”

That’s Princeton! But he was originally a Southron, not a Yankee!

The window did neither, but he broke property that did not belong to him. He should be tried and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. “Good for him” is a completely despicable comment.

Good for him. We should not be romanticizing and/or celebrating slavery. Or their advocates. Put the windows in a museum.

Are you being sarcastic? I hope you're not serious.

You’re right but he still gave several speeches there.

I had the same idea. When I visited the south for the first time 45 years ago, I saw black people working in fields (I doubt it was cotton but I could be wrong) and was astonished how times hadn’t changed that much.

The more I look at this artwork, the more impressive it seems. The colors seem quite muted. Would love to see a clearer photograph.

There is a dignity in the workers in the pictured window that few of those seeking to trash history will ever project.

But this story really is not about a misled employee of Yale. It is about the sickness in education & the media, which has diverted so many from normal pursuits, into a hate filled war against others, based not upon anything those others have done to the haters; but rather on a fantasy narrative, which reflects no understanding of history.

While the traditional agricultural labor system in much of the earth was very very far from ideal; it was not always demeaning. Whether as seen in Biblical bondsmen, European or Asian serfs, or new world slaves or transported convicts; many achieved respected status. For an obvious example, Aesop of Aesop's Fables was a slave; for another, consider some of the heroic warriors in famous battles, who were serfs, brought to the fray by their feudal masters.

One can trash what one does not understand about history, but to what end. Is there any benefit to anyone by trashing John C. Calhoun at Yale? What possible benefit? Even JFK, who was certainly no Conservative, honored Calhoun as one of the five great Senators, in his book, Profiles In Courage.

Consider, finally, two great addresses, Booker T. Washington's 1895 Address in Atlanta to White Employers Booker T. Washington Address; and John C. Calhoun's Fort Hill Address, John C. Calhoun Address.

Just a bit of a different perspective. If no one at Yale today has the intellectual integrity to speak up for Calhoun; Yale is, itself, the greatest loser in this.

With anger like that, I’d hate to see what he did to those plates he was washing...if you get my drift.

Now that we see it, it isn’t even clear that this was even slaves.

Was there anything in the context that would demand that this be slaves anyhow?
