> “It was a no-brainer,” Rose said in a statement. “If our goal
is to create a community that is inclusive and welcoming to
everyone, a monument that depicts cruelty and oppression can’t
be on display here.”
> ...
> “We have always agreed with those who felt the monument was
offensive and had no place on our campus,” said OCCC interim
President Jeremy Thomas in a statement. “It does not accurately
represent history, and it does not accurately reflect the
respect, empathy and admiration we have for the true pioneers of
this land: the indigenous people of this country. As soon as we
were in a position to take it down, we did.”

> Leftist Mayor of London Sadiq Khan unveiled a Black Lives
Matter inspired ‘diversity’ commission on Tuesday, which will
review all historical monuments in the British capital.
> ...
> Mr Khan’s fifteen-member commission includes Pakistani-British
Star Wars actor Riz Ahmed, who has previously suggested that a
lack of diversity on television and in film could lead teenagers
to join ISIS.
>
> The commission also includes social rights activist Toyin
Agbetu, who gained national attention in 2007 after he
confronted the Queen and then-Prime Minister Tony Blair at an
event celebrating the end of slavery, a practice the United
Kingdom with its Royal Navy had worked to stamp out.
>
> Busting into Westminster Abbey, Agbetu shouted: “You should be
ashamed. We should not be here. This is an insult to us,”
adding: “You, the Queen, should be ashamed!”

usefulness was in submission and servitude to the white race. He

seen as a symbol of oppression by many, be taken from its lofty
perch in the center of downtown San Jose, a key panel agreed.

> The Rules and Open Government Committee of the San Jose City
Council, which sets future City Council agendas, voted
unanimously Wednesday to remove the statue.

> Following a passionate community meeting last month, Mayor Sam
Liccardo said he realized the depth of the pain this public art
created for residents. Days later, Liccardo called for the
statue’s removal. In a memo to the City Council, the mayor said
the statue symbolized the white conquest of Mexican and
indigenous communities.

--- Quote ---
> San Diego Unified’s Junipero Serra High School will now be
called Canyon Hills High School after students successfully
petitioned for the name change, saying that the name of the
founder of California’s mission system is offensive to
indigenous peoples whose ancestors were subjected to its
doctrine.
>
> On Tuesday night, the San Diego Unified School Board
unanimously voted for the name change and to change the school’s
mascot from a conquistador to a rattlesnake, or a “Rattler.”
>
> Students who started the name and mascot change effort said
it’s offensive and racist to have a conquistador as a mascot
because it represents the Spanish colonization of the Americas,
during which Spanish conquerors carried out a genocide of
indigenous peoples, killing millions by disease and by force.
Serra was the founder of California’s mission system, which
assimilated indigenous people to Catholicism and Spanish culture
and was a key strategy of Spanish colonization.
>
> “The mascot and Serra himself are tied to the oppression of
native peoples, and we shouldn’t be glorifying a mascot like the
conquistador with all the violence,” said Charlotte Taila, a
Canyon Hills High junior who started a petition last summer to
change the mascot. “We shouldn’t be cheering for conquistadors
when there’s nothing to be celebrated.”

Exactly. We should also start thinking about how to get their
bloodlines out of the gene pool.
