The left-wing campaign to pull down Confederate monuments has gone pop, as more than 10,000 people have signed a petition to replace the Confederate monument in Olde Towne Portsmouth, Virginia, with a statue of rapper Missy Elliott. The author of the petition, Nathan Coflin, says Elliott “encapsulates the culture and spirit of the city.”

“Hailing from humble beginnings as the only child of a power company dispatcher and a welder at Portsmouth’s lauded naval shipyard, she rose to become a platinum recording artists with over 30 million albums sold. All this without even once owning a slave,” the petition reads. “Together we can put white supremacy down, flip it and reverse it.”

The insanity truly continues!

QUOTE FROM "1984" by GEORGE ORWELL

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, and the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.

"History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

Was Orwell prescient...or was he dead-on prescient?

[What’s a Rapper Missy Elliott ?]

From the looks of a previous post, I wonder if:

The reason there will be an eclipse tomorrow blocking out the Sun?

1984 wasn’t supposed to be a “how to” book!

They’re going to need some extra bronze, or whatever they make statues out of these days.

Nobody in Iron Maiden has ever owned a slave, and they can actually write their own music and play instruments.

They’ve also sold 3x as many albums as her, duration of careers notwithstanding. Pop is force-fed down peoples’ throats.

If they have such faith that this is what people want why don’t they put it up for a vote in 2018?

They will probably attempt all three-in-one.

Add in Al Sharpton for his oratory and research skills.

The fantastic four. Closer to four horsemen destroying America.....

I think they had enough metal in that 3rd Alien movie at the casting facility.
