Bust of "black hero" of Lewis & Clark Trip Goes Up in Portland
Another gargantuan, Stalinist, mythological black monstrosity "magically" appears in Portland park, paying homage to someone no one has ever heard of.
Well-off, "woke," guilt-ridden old white women "lay hands" on the monument, imparting their "blessings":

"A huge bust of York, a black man who was enslaved by William Clark and who was the first African-American to cross the continent and reach the Pacific Ocean, is sitting atop a pedestal amid a lushly forested park in Portland, Oregon. It was placed there in the dead of night last weekend by persons unknown.
People have flocked to the bust, which seems to be at least four feet tall, in Mount Tabor Park. The artist's depiction of York shows him seemingly deep in thought or even sad, his eyes cast downward. York hadn’t been painted contemporaneously so how his face really looked is unknown."
ALR: The Lewis & Clark Expedition was one of the most thoroughly documented events in American history.
How could it be that - up to this point - no word of this key "enslaved hero" of that event was ever mentioned - by anyone?
Thet'd better not touch the statue of Hope and Crosby discovering Africa,lol.

Will be burned down?
ReplyDeleteFor those who would denigrate Lewis and Clark, it should be noted that when the time came to choose a winter campsite on the Columbia, both Clark's slave York and Sacagawea voted--perhaps the first time a black and an Indian woman were given the vote. Furthermore, just as blacks in our armed forces fathered the most overseas children, York was a favorite with the Indian women for his "unflagging sexual prowess." See David Lavender's book "The Way to the Western Sea." By the way, Clark seemed to have a special fondness for Sacagawea because after the expedition, she lived in his house for a about a year and he adopted her son--who was educated in Europe.

Let me tell you the story of a nig named York,
So damn dumb--could't use a knife or fork,
Then one day York was hitting on a squaw,
The chief showed up to displace the nigga's jaw.
Out cold--couldn't see.
Well the years went by and here we are today,
The crazies out west erased our history,
York gets a statue in Mt.Tabor Park,
Getting replaced is Lewis and Clark.
Stupid that is--commie fools,brainwashed Whites
Well now it's time to say goodbye to all our history,
The way that this is going ,there'll be nothing left to see,
You're all invited back next week to this locality,
To witness more destruction to our White chronology.
(Y'all come back now--ya hear?'specially if you is a White woman,alone in the woods).
