Subject: Honoring Ida B. Wells
Note that the argument for a memorial opens with a lie: "Ida B. Wells was a Memphian."
No, she wasn't. She lived for ten years as an adult in Memphis. She was born in Holly Springs, MS, and died in Chicago.
Wells was given a special Pulitzer Prize this year. Prior to that, the Pulitzers were only given to the living, but Wells was black, so the rules and traditional practices don't apply.
Actually, the Pulitzer given to Wells was a stealth second Pulitzer given to new york times 1619 hoaxer Nikole Hannah-Jones, who calls herself @Ida Bae Wells, on twitter, and who was given a Pulitzer under her real name for her 1619 Hoax. First, she lied about the history of 1619, and then she lied about what she'd said, as the times' editors changed what she had written last year.
Ida B. Wells' singular achievement was in foisting on the world the blood libel, whereby there is no such thing as black-on-White rape, because White women are irresistibly drawn to black men, and only cry rape, in order to avoid the shame of their consensual couplings with black men coming to light.

Out of curiosity,I viewed a few minutes of the PBS hitpiece called,"Frontline:2020 Trump vs Biden."
I didn't know it was such a piece of crap when I started out watching it,but 30 seconds in,the tone was set.
If anyone wants to see a perfect example of a hate Trump/love Biden propaganda show-with a slant of presentation that's so over the top in lacking objectivity,that it actually induced anger from me.
"Trump is a bully as a kid,"says the narrator,Biden,a victim of stuttering and being poor.
Onto adulthood,Trump uses "crisis to his advantage."
Intimidation,"what's in it for me" and "angry" are repeated descriptions about Trump.They become mantras in any review of Trump's history.
The narrator compares Biden to John Kennedy.Biden likes blacks.He hugs strangers.
At that point,the channel was turned to something else--ANYTHING else.
PBS should be ashamed of itself for its lack of fairness.If you're going to criticize one candidate,you damn well better criticize the other one--and there's plenty about Biden to dig up,but on this show,is not.

Tear the statue down when it is erected. Some persons consider Ida to be a divisive individual.
