Duke To Rename Building Once Named After Notorious Racist

Duke University changing name of building dedicated to notorious racist

So Duke is taking down the name of a notorious white supremacist from a building following the recommendations of a committee of students and staff. The racist in question is Julian Carr, a prominent industrialist in the tobacco and textile manufacturing business who donated to Duke University and gifted land to set up the Durham Public Library.

All he did that was considered wrong was be a white supremacist, which back then was fairly common -- sure he advocated lynching black people and talked about how he “horse-whipped” a black woman “until her skirts hung in shreds” after she allegedly insulted a “Southern lady.” -- that was all very normal back in those times....

Do you feel Duke university will be hurt by this move and fewer parents would want to send their kids there now since they have decided to remove this man's name?

Well his being a racist didn't bother them at all.

They had no problem taking his money for their school

Oh and I doubt removing his name will mean anything. Duke is a good school and they will take anyones money.

I wonder how the mans relatives will feel??

This is good news.

Why will they start pulling down everything FDR?

Maybe. No doubt you’ll suddenly start praising him for what racist views you perceive him to have had.

Did he start the Tuskegee Experiments like FDR?

Did he refuse to shake Jesse Owens hand like FDR?

 

[SobieskiSavedEurope]

Most historic figures were racist.

Horse whipping a black woman for being disrespectful and bragging about it is inhuman and was not common

So you think it was cool that FDR perverted a genuine, controlled scientific experiment into a fucking sadistic abomination that just wanted to see how black men died from syphilis?

I think Social Security was good policy....and the majority of America does too....we don't really care what president signed it into law...

It's okay to steal from white supremacists.

Racial equality is fairly recent. It's not like you could go back in time and tell this man to change his mind.
