Because the great statesman Charles B. Aycock thought black people should be separate when everyone in the country thought that same exact thing, Duke University has made the decision to shut him down.
Duke University is removing the name of white supremacist leader and former North Carolina governor Charles B. Aycock from an undergraduate dorm, which will now be known as East Residence Hall.
Aycock, who served as governor from 1901 to 1905, has had his name affixed to the building for more than 100 years. But that is coming to an end after the university’s Board of Trustees voted to revert the building to its original name, East Residence Hall, after petitions from the student body urged the school to re-evaluate the former governor’s legacy.
“Today, 50 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and at the conclusion of a commemoration of integration at Duke, the values of inclusion and nondiscrimination are key parts of the university’s mission,” Duke President Richard H. Brodhead wrote in a letter to student body leaders Monday. “After careful consideration, we believe it is no longer appropriate to honor a figure who played so active a role in the history that countered those values.”
In the late 1890s, Aycock was a leading spokesman for the Democratic Party’s white supremacist activities in the state. He was a part of a campaign of fear and intimidation that sought to forcefully suppress the black vote and sow racial distrust.
This sets a dangerous and weird precedent. “Racism” was a minor part of the legacy of Aycock. And he was racist at a time when everyone else was. There is no way they can shut down Aycock as a “White Supremacist,” and not do the same to all of our Founding Fathers, because they all were obviously racists.
So, is this the plan? To shut down all of the Founding Fathers, in pursuit of this weird moral revisionist agenda?
What will remain of our nation, after we have shut down our roots completely?
