The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts of Montgomery, Alabama (1st capital of the Confederacy) is apparently behind this billboard sponsored by the museum showing the MAGA movement slogan pasted over one of the famous scenes of the Selma marchers crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge (1965). It was a direct attack for to the newly elected president and his constituents showing this is where the nation is headed IMHO. The link to the story is HERE.
So......does the MMFA fall on the side of the Republican marchers (marchers = "good guys")?
ReplyDeleteOr does it fall on the side of the Democrat authorities (authorities = "bad guys")?
OR....are they trying to confuse the issue by making you think that
the politics are reversed? (i.e., the eeeevil authorities = Republicans; the good marchers = Democrats)

MMFA, like all democrats, is pretending it wasn't democrats on the wrong side in the 50's and 60's. Tell a lie often enough.....
DeleteExcellent questions/points. Trump and MAGA are always taking the heat because the media/libs/commies has their daggers out for anything that isn't their narrative. The truth of the matter is that Team Trump did more beneficial work for minorities than any other president in history. Compare Trump to say LBJ ("I'll have these ni99ers voting democrat for he next 200 years"). Some people may need a helping hand, but not continual handouts. In the founders time, churches. people, and communities offered charity/benevolence, but it was not the government's job as it has become today. Neither was the government intended to be the caretaker of it's citizens simply because of people like LBJ who would and did use welfare as "carrot on a stick".
DeleteI worked for Lamar Outdoor years ago. They could lose advertisers over this.
ReplyDeleteRightly so.
DeleteAfter taking a railing on social media, the museum is trying to walk it back and are in damage control mode.

Talked about mixed messages! So, are they for Trump or against him?
ReplyDeleteIt's a free country again, so they have a right to express their position. And let's not forget that Qualified Immunity was fabricated out of thin air by an all white, all male Supreme Court in 1967 to protect four white police officers from being prosecuted under the KKK Act for arresting peacefully protesting black pastors who entered a "whites only" area. That bit of racism is still with us today and still being used to shield government officials who infringe on citizen's rights while "just doing their jobs."
ReplyDeletethat is all true, but this particular example is just throwing dirt in the air. the real quote should be "qualified immunity?" America wasn't represented by the actions of a single state run by Democrats.
DeleteAmazing when you lose what you will lower yourself to do...

Black folks standing up to Democrats? Plenty of room under the MAGA tent for that. :)
ReplyDeleteLies, distortion & propaganda is all they have left, and more awareness among the general population day by day of that fact.

Have you been to Selma? Compare what Selma looked like in the 60's with today. It makes Detroit look prosperous. Selma is full of empty lots where homes once stood and abandoned homes. Most of the stores are gone except for a few Dollar General stores that require armed guards. THAT is the legacy of MLK and President Johnson and congressmen like Ted Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteI would instead say, "that is what Johnson twisted MLK's legacy into."
