HONORABLE MENTION

-
 Well I found out today that they are going to do away with Aunt Jemima, Mrs. Butterworth's and Uncle Ben rice because of these products racist past. It is even being suggested that Rice Krispies and Cocoa Puffs are racist because Rice Krispies are represented by 3 White Elves while Cocoa Puffs logo is a monkey. Since we are getting rid of anything that could remind us of racism I have some honorable mentions. Ford products, General Motors products, Volkswagen products, Mercedes products, Porsche products, the interstate highway system and Coca Cola. 

Ford Motor Company- Henry Ford was a notorious anti-semite and published an anti-semitic newspaper. Hitler awarded him his highest civilian award, the Grand Cross of the Golden Eagle in 1938, which he proudly accepted. He also considered Ford to be a great influence on him and a picture of Ford hung over Hitlers desk. Fords subsidiaries in Germany contributed greatly to the German war effort by quickly retooling over to vehicles designed to fight the war. Ford was at first reluctant to retool his plants in the U.S. over to war production against the Germans.


General Motors- General motors subsidiaries in Germany also aided the German war effort by quickly retooling but they were more reluctant to retool for the American war effort.

Mercedes, Porsche and Volkswagen- Hitler wanted an affordable car for the average German family in the early 1930's. Mercedes was involved in that project. In addition Ferdinand Porsche designed and built the Volkswagen Beetle from the ground up. 


The Interstate Highway System- Hitler wanted a highway system that would rapidly move his armies to assist in the invasion of his neighbors.

 Bayer Products- Bayer Aspirin, Aleve, Advil, Phillips Milk of Magnesia and all the over the counter Bayer products, which are many. Bayer was a division of the German company I.G. Farben during WW2. I.G. Farben made the insecticide Zyklon B which was used to gas the Jews and they had a plant near Auschwitz which used slave labor. Now BLM may not care for the Jews. I know Louis Farakhan doesn't care for them but Hitler considered Blacks next to the bottom on his racial totem pole if it makes them feel any better. 



Coca Cola- It was invented by the ex Confederate soldier Doctor John Pemberton. He wanted a drink that would help ease his morphine addiction from a saber wound he received at the battle of Columbus Georgia. One of the original ingredients of Coca-Cola was cocaine.



So here you have it. Granted it will be a little harder for the Democrats, antifa, and BLM to give up  their Fords, Chevy's, Mercedes, Porsche's, Volkswagens, over the counter pain medications, Diet Cokes, Mountain Dews, and interstate highways than it will for us to give up our rice and pancakes but for the sake of consistency we must begin the process. Of course the advantage of doing away with the interstate highways is that it will take fewer of them to block our roads.

THE DEATH OF JAYNE MANSFIELD

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while...

CARNTON PLANTATION

   My first association with the Carnton Plantation in Franklin was when I would see the old house while hunting for Civil War relics in the early 1970's. There is a subdivision near Carnton today in the area where I hunted when it was primarily farm land. I knew it was an antebellum home but I wasn't aware of how historic Carnton was. It was in a horrible state of disrepair and I have learned since then that a farmer was using the house as his hay barn. In 1977 the owner of the property donated the house and ten acres to the Carnton Association and they have done a fantastic job of restoring the plantation to it's former glory. Originally the McGavock's owned 1400 acres. It was built by Randall McGavock in the 1820's. He was mayor of Nashville and a close friend of Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk. Jackson on several occasions was an overnight guest in the home.    His son John took over the plantation in 1843 upon the death of Randall. In 1848 John mar...

The James brothers with their mother Zerelda James   Most everyone has heard of the notorious outlaws Jesse and Frank James, however; did you know that they lived in Nashville from 1875 until March 1881? Jesse's oldest son Jesse James Jr. was born in Nashville along with his sister Mary. Jesse Jr. was born at 606 Boscobel Street on August 31, 1875. Mary was born on West Hamilton Road in Bordeaux on July 17, 1879. Jesse Jr. went by the name Tim and as far as he knew his last name was Howard. He and his sister would not know their real last names until after Jesse was killed in 1882. Jesse and his wife Zerelda would also lose two male twins in infancy.  Jesse's brother Frank lived on Clarksville Pike. While living there he and his wife Annie Ralston James gave birth to a son named Robert Franklin on February 6, 1877. For a time he would be dressed as a girl and go by the name of Mary. Why his parents did this I do not know.  The brothers were on the run. Nashvill...
