U. of Rhode Island to Remove WWII Murals
Due to Lack of Diversity

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 9/9/2020 3:51:21 PM

The University of Rhode Island recently announced plans to remove two murals depicting the events of World War II due to their lack of diversity. The decision was prompted after students complained that the mural was not compatible with the university’s values of inclusivity. According to the school’s Vice President of Student Affairs, “Some of our students have even shared with us they didn’t feel comfortable sitting in that space.”

Comments:

Students now know that if they just ask, snap their little fingers, voila!, it will be done/given to them/forgiven of them. The inmates are running the asylums...

About the murals: According to a local news report, the University of Rhode Island plans to remove two 70-year-old murals that depict World War II over concerns that they do not feature enough diversity. The murals were painted to pay respect to the memories of those that lost their lives in World War II. The murals feature various scenes including veterans returning to the United States and a University of Rhode Island class reunion.

No one there was ever at any time taught American history? P.C garbage run amok. They are reflecting the new Hollywood diversity rules.

More here, along with a sample of the murals, which are great. Note who raised the money for the Memorial Student Union in which the murals were painted... https://cbs12.com/news/nation-world/nearly-70-year-old-murals-taken-down-at-university-of-rhode-island-for-lack-of-diversity A mural painted nearly 70 years ago at the University of Rhode Island is set to be taken down after staff said students complained about a lack of diversity in the picture. 1954 was the dedication of “The Memorial Union” at the University of Rhode Island. When veterans returned from World War II and enrolled at URI, they and other community members raised money in memory of those who lost their lives in the war. Money raised was for a modern student union, which gave it the name, “Memorial Union.” Arthur “Art” Sherman was a decorated returning veteran and member of the class of 1950, a predominately all-white class.

How about the grown ups at the university say NO. The mural is a price of art painted by a former student, who had other students make suggestions for the painting. I am so sick of the diversity crap. The poor little students couldn’t even sit by the mural because of its lack of diversity. How about looking at the mural and remembering all the men and women who have their limbs and some their lives so they could complain. And try to make sure another world war never happens again. Pretty sure that would be too hard for those students. Hit the books buttercups!

“Some of our students have even shared with us they didn’t feel comfortable sitting in that space.” Solution: Learn something about America's role in WWII so that you will feel proud sitting in that space. Or, examine your accomplishments in life that allow you to feel comfortable in the presence of world-class heros. Or, don't sit in that space. There are any number of solutions that do not entail trashing our country's history. Or are today's universities the enemy of our country?

My dad died with shrapnel still in his body. These snot nosed little kids need to walk through veterans graveyards. These men died for their country. They saved Europe. My dad said when they got to England, those people had nothing left. They lined the roads cheering the American soldiers who had come to help them. A large dose of reality is what those scaredy-cat kids need and we must put American history, the real version, back in our schools.

Let me think this out. It is a painting and the artist is still alive. Right? Have him paint over the white faces and make them brown, yellow, red and black. Will that work? How stupid these students are and the University administrators. Will this ever end?

Unless and until Rhode Island hands itself over to the freedmen as a first step toward reconciliation, this gesture rings hollow indeed. Brown University is named after big-time slave traders; deafening silence. And, "In the years after the Revolution, Rhode Island merchants controlled between 60 and 90 percent of the American trade in African slaves." http://slavenorth.com/rhodeisland.htm

Put up a mural of the Tuskegee Airmen. But make sure you put some other races in the mural (whether or not they went to the University). Honestly, this is nauseating. During the '08 campaign, Michelle O said to a small audience that "Barack knows that we're gonna have to make sacrifices, we're gonna have to change our conversation;... change our traditions, our history, we're gonna have to move to a different place..." She said it once, then never again. Or i should say, i never heard it again, although i searched for it. I of course suspected that it was a little too revealing of the O regime's (i.e. the Left's) intentions. We are seeing the poisonous fruit of this now. It seems to me that people are under the impression that half of our population is Black. The last percentage i heard was 13%. And of course we have many fellow citizens of different races and ethnicities. And we have a lot of mixed-race families, too. We had been getting along pretty well, for a big, diverse bunch of people living together. Then, evil people crowbarred their way onto the public stage, with all their foolishness, outright idiocy, and pernicious and destructive schemes. What a shame that people in positions formerly requiring maturity, intelligence and wisdom, we now have nincompoops and shallow-brained dolts, trembling and quivering and groveling at the feet of impetuous, spoiled and imbecile children entering universities with the arrogance of closed minds so sure that they have nothing to learn. What a witches' brew swirls.

"I have received complaints about the murals that portray a very homogeneous population predominately the persons painted and depicted on the wall are predominantly white and that does not represent who our institution is today,” Collins said. That's quite a sentence, there, Kathy. Can we interpret "very homogeneous" to mean not all white? Can we interpret "predominantly white" to mean not all white? If so, what is the degree of whiteness and how much less white would be sufficient for your amazing students?

The students are applying current day demographics to the WWII years. I checked the U.S. population distribution by race in 1940. The breakdown by race was 88.3% Non-Hispanic White, 9.8% Black / African American, 1.5% Hispanic (any race), Asian American 0.2%, and Native American 0.2%. The remaining % was all other races. Hawaiian / Other Pacific Islander and Alaska Native Indians / Eskimos are not included because Hawaii and Alaska were not yet U.S. states in 1940. Other statistics show that similar %'s served in the military in WWII. In 2017, those serving in the military was 57% white and 43% other races. Instead of removing 70-year old murals, the students should admire the great progress made over the yeas by minority populations serving their country in the military. I would assume that Vietnam Memorials and conflict since that time will capture more diversity. It's important to understand history to grasp these facts.

If someone has any idea how many graduates or students from U. of Rhode Island who were minorities or students of color left school to serve in that war or even went after graduation it would be interesting to know. Even with a mandatory draft. I would expect the number to be near zero. Universities were like that back in the 40"s.

When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred,” the post continued.

Barry Diller made his name in the film industry as the chairman and CEO of two Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures and what was then 20th Century Fox. Now, he is declaring the industry dead. "The movie business is over," Diller said in an exclusive interview with NPR on the sidelines of the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, a media and technology conference in Idaho. "The movie business as before is finished and will never come back." Yes, that has to do with a substantial decline in ticket sales and the closure of movie theaters during the coronavirus pandemic.

As we expected, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) issued its revised guidelines on stem cells and embryo experiments at the end of May 2021, and as expected, the ISSCR recommendations are rife with proposed experiments on young human beings. The new guidelines discard the 14-day limit on human embryo experiments in favor of no limits whatsoever, and they allow virtually unrestricted manufacture of human-animal chimeras of any type, as well as creation of genetically altered human embryos and lab constructed human embryo “models.” Very little is left in the category of “currently not permitted.”

Thanks to a series of leaks from the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop computer, we know there is more than enough evidence to appoint a special counsel, or at least convene a grand jury to investigate bribery, tax fraud, and probably several other categories of crime involving the Biden Crime Family. (snip) A mildly curious US Attorney ought to be able to get a grand jury to subpoena the financial records of the Biden clan on this basis. (snip) We understand why none of this is happening – yet. Biden is serving his purpose (snip) But the drip, drip, drip continues and accumulates.

Knowing which Americans have been vaccinated is “absolutely the government’s business,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Thursday. Speaking to CNN, the HHS secretary was responding to criticism of President Biden’s comments Tuesday about going “door to door, literally knocking on doors” to get wary Americans vaccinated against the coronavirus. “It is absolutely the government’s business, it is taxpayers’ business, if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,” Becerra told the network, noting the government has had to “spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday and slammed unvaccinated Americans, telling them to “get over this political statement.” “This is not complicated. We’re not asking anybody to make a political statement one way or another,” Fauci said during a segment of “All in with Chris Hayes” on MSNBC. “We’re saying, try to save your life, and that of your family, and that of your community.” “We have so many things, as you said, so many diseases that I deal with that don’t have solutions,” Fauci continued. “It’s very frustrating. You don’t have a treatment, you don’t have a vaccine.

Government ethics watchdogs and art critics alike are voicing their concerns as first son Hunter Biden prepares for his first solo art exhibition this fall—where paintings from the former lawyer and lobbyist are expected to fetch between $75,000 and $500,000 and buyers will remain anonymous. “The whole thing is a really bad idea,” Richard Painter, chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, told the Washington Post.(Snip) Walter Shaub, who led the Office of Government Ethics under President Barack Obama, told the paper that the art buyers having their identities protected created a host of problems. “Because we don’t know who is paying

Rashida Tlaib called on Congress in a Wednesday interview to defund every federal enforcement agency tasked with protecting U.S. borders as Joe Biden's administration continues to struggle to address a growing migration crisis at the southern border. 'We must eliminate funding for CBP [Customs and Border Protection], ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and their parent organization DHS [Department of Homeland Security],' the progressive 'squad' member demanded. Tlaib insisted during a virtual interview published Wednesday with Just Futures Law, an immigrants rights group, that advocates and human service agents 'continue to see over and over again that these agencies are inept.'

During a portion of an interview with BET set to air on Friday that was broadcast on Thursday’s “CBS This Morning,” Vice President Kamala Harris responded to a question on whether she’d compromise by agreeing to voter ID provisions to pass voting legislation by stating that we shouldn’t downplay the impact voter ID laws could have. Because to some, voter ID means, “you’re going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove that you are who you are.” And many people live where “there’s no Kinko’s, there’s no OfficeMax near them.”
