The wife and I watched the "Unchained Memories"
on VHS tape last night. As a mentally ill person
I was very disturbed from the Slave Narratives from
the library of congress. I was born in Richmond Virginia.
Those monuments of treason on monument avenue signified a capitol
of a whole other country from the earliest times
I can remember. The idea of being on the wrong side
of history occurred to me. And I am glad those
stupid monuments glorifying hate not heritage for whites
have been vandalized and taken down. Statues and flags
are for children anyway.
