Yale University will remove what it calls a “problematic” doorway stone carving depicting a Puritan settler aiming a musket at a Native American.
School officials announced the move Tuesday, after being criticized for covering the musket with removable stonework last year. Critics called it whitewashing history.
The 88-year-old carving on Sterling Memorial Library will be moved soon to another location and made available for public viewing and study.
Yale officials say covering up the musket was against principles Yale adopted last year after the alteration. The school says it has an obligation “not to hide from or destroy reminders of unpleasant history.”
Yale earlier this year renamed Calhoun College after decades of debate, because its namesake was former Vice-President, Yale alumnus and slavery supporter John C. Calhoun.

One of the most vexing questions in African-American history is whether free African Americans themselves owned slaves. The short answer to this question, as you might suspect, is yes, of course; some free black people in this country bought and sold other black people, and did so at least since 1654, continuing to do so right through the Civil War. For me, the really fascinating questions about black slave-owning are how many black "masters" were involved, how many slaves did they own and why did they own slaves?

What's wrong with that? The Puritan was just showing pride in his heritage.

Besides, without the Pequot Massacre, we'd only have one day off in November!

Next they'll want all the mass graves at the residential schools cleaned up. If this ever gets the snowball effect we are done for as a civilization.

...and yet paintings of Natives boiling missionaries is perfectly acceptable.

Oh? Where are those? Outside of your poor-poor-pitiful-me imagination, that is.

1842 Slave Revolt in the Cherokee Nation

The 1842 Slave Revolt in the Cherokee Nation, then located in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) west of the Mississippi River, was the largest escape of a group of slaves to occur among the Cherokee. The slave revolt started on November 15, 1842, when a group of 20 African-American slaves owned by the Cherokee escaped and tried to reach Mexico, where slavery had been abolished in 1836. Along their way south, they were joined by 15 slaves escaping from the Creek in Indian Territory.

What has been described as "the most spectacular act of rebellion against slavery" among the Cherokee, the 1842 event inspired subsequent slave rebellions in the Indian Territory.[1] But, in the aftermath of this escape, the Cherokee Nation passed stricter slave codes, expelled freedmen from the territory, and established a 'rescue' (slave-catching) company to try to prevent additional losses.

Cherokee eh?
Not to mention every other tribe that ever had slaves or fought "mourning wars" to rebuild their tribes after bad times.
Which would have been most if not all of them at one time or another.

T-Bones-

Do you deny that Natives boiled missionaries?

Or perhaps that fact just doesn't jive with your revisionist guilt trip.

Wouldn't be in big iron pots would it??

I asked you where there are paintings of Indians boiling missionaries.

And now you're trying to change the subject. No big surprise.

This one's for you, poor little hard-done-by loony.

Still not able to back up your lie about paintings of Indians boiling missionaries? Poor little waste of oxygen.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

The Natives looking at dinner...

When are you going to finally man-up and jump off of the victim train.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

So, no paintings of Indians boiling missionaries?

Nah, just another loony off his meds.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

I'm sure paintings of Natives boiling missionaries existed. But they were probably all expunged from History. I mean, God forbid we actually tell people the truth about what went on back then.

I mean, how could the Natives keep playing the victim card if solid facts and truths ever came out after all?

I look at his Avatar and wonder if it 's representative. He needs one more calming...

I await your evidence. By evidence, I mean a picture of such a painting, or information on its location. Just a little bit more than the certainty of a mental defective.

I hope I didn't offend you, but you being against political correctness and all, thought I'd call you what they called schizophrenics back in the good old days. Wouldn't want to be PC now, would we?

As far as NorAm natives are concerned, i doubt that they had mastered metallurgy to the point of being able to cast suitable vessles with which to boil any missionaries.

Anywho, I'd be far more worried of the pointy stick shooter that the native dude has directed at the pilgrim.

 

[lone wolf]

Pilgrim's hiding behind the native and shooting past him. Muzzle's a good clue ... so's the insult-seeking agenda
