NYT Discovers Confederacy Is Bad, Still Funding Apartheid
The mainstream media grapples with the 'complex' issue of schools named after Confederate generals, treating it as a novel discovery of systemic racism. This national soul-searching occurs as the U.S. continues to funnel billions in unconditional aid, like the $14.5 billion proposed in HR 7217 (October 2023), to governments actively engaged in practices that mirror the very 'separate but equal'
doctrines the Confederacy tried to enshrine. One might wonder if historical introspection is just a convenient distraction when the present-day atrocities receive bipartisan funding and media whitewashing. The Confederacy's ghost haunts our school halls, but its spirit of ethnic subjugation appears alive and well in our foreign policy, unscrutinized by the same outlets. How many elementary schools
must be renamed before we stop funding apartheid?
