May they be haunted by the Ghost of Stephen Foster.

Xi Van Fleet was interviewed by Newt Gingrich on his "Newt's World" podcast on November 5, 2023. I HIGHLY recommend listening to her talk about growing up in Mao's China and how today's America reminds her so much of what Mao did in China. It's well worth your 36 minutes. (yeah, a lot of people don't like Newt, but this is about Ms. Xi's views, not him). She was an early and outspoken critic of Loudon County's use of CRT in their county schools.

Episode 625: Mao's America

In 2021, Xi Van Fleet spoke out at a Loudoun County, Virginia School Board meeting against Critical Race Theory. Her video went viral and ignited national media attention. Xi lived through the horrors of the Chinese Cultural Revolution as a schoolgirl. Forced to the countryside with other young Chinese for re-education after high school, she later escaped communism and found freedom and new a life in America.

But more than 30 years later, Xi disturbingly sees signs of the same Cultural Marxism that ravaged her birth country of China threatening to destroy the America she now calls home. Her new book, Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning is her dire warning to the citizens of the United States.

Ha! very bizarre!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

YES! I was watching this video of her a few days ago, “You should always choose the party” The party comes first above all else. Gee, who does that sound like?

Consensus at meeting: Remove Stephen Foster statue

I'm sure everyone in attendance were Leftist activists.

I love to rewatch the video of the blm’s tearing down the statue and it hits the guy in the head. karma

[sauropod]

That was brilliant!

" they apparently have no problem with a black man cleaning a 20 foot statue of KKK recruiter Robert Byrd in the nations capital building."

Good point. Why isn't the left offended?

[willk]

Camptown ladies never sang do-dah all night long...no no.

[willk]

It is time we told the left to just go fu#k themselves.

[dfwgator]

American Taliban.

[atomic_dog]

They’ll be coming for Mel Brooks any day now.

[odawg]

Yes indeed. Remove/outlaw American history and invite in tens of millions of illegals.

We are such a cool country. What other nation in world history has voluntary and willingly and enthusiastically destroyed itself as quickly as possible.

[dfwgator]

They’ll be coming for Mel Brooks any day now.

Nah, Mel's Good. He paid the ransom.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Exactly. It’s astounding to me how many people sit back and take this crap. Me, I would be immediately in their faces, my temper is insane. Like these “non-binary” a-holes who demand you call them “they” or “zhe”...How about “F off”? lol

I grew up in New York city and there are so many statues they took down there that were beautiful, probably the best was the statue of the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES Teddy Roosevelt and the Marxists didn’t like it that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES broke the height requirement when near an Indian and a black man, thus it had to be removed as if these US hating Marxists twats are the final authority when it comes to statues, nobody else gets a say except for them.

The truth and reality is that the banjo playing “black” man sitting beneath Foster is appropriate and complementary, as it was from such persons Foster heard musical motifs that inspired quite a number of his works. How is that truth “racist”? It isn’t.
