Introduction/Definition/etc
Friday the 13th meets Lee Jackson Day in Virginia, and given confederate flags
are coming down in some states (S.C.?) maybe an upgrade/ debugging is needed?
Body
So, going freestyle for a while, Friday the 13th is Freddie Kruger day,
in some horror film and show fans lives, so why not combine
Lee Jackson State Holy Day, with the new and improved
and add some more realistic enemies?
Seeing President Obama's last days, with giving the Metal of Honor?
Freedom to Biden for his Vice Presidentship and watching him cry on stage,
late in his career, he can afford to be sentimental, the news anchors
called it a BroMance, and wondering when going back to someone as
racially and ethnically controversial as Trump, what happens?
Roll Back to Racism?
If S.C. can change, why can't Virginia? Older? Prouder?
Florida may have been where the first people landed on from ships,
and died quickly (according to a movie....),
but we hear about the Puritans in New England more...
First place for ships to land ashore?
Given they were lost, looking for the Indies for spices, iirc...
Their GPS was the stars, after all, used for centuries, millennia,
and they did think the world was flat, at one point...
Check the time line, history students, and other types of geeks...
First to colonize?
First to incorporate?
First Black Governor? Wilder?
But last to remove the institutional racism?
Now consider the Friday the 13th obsession with S.H. Cho and
VA Tech... Have we really gotten past bullying, ostracizing and
hunting people based on differences???
(reference movie with an integration knobs at
North Carolina Military Institute which played (BET?) recently)

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Finding all the history references to Lee Jackson
(Rt 29? in Virginia, mostly named by/for Dead Generals)
Assumed mostly white, but Freedman's Cemetery
(Alexandria / Fairfax County lines @ Wilson Bridge),
and other history places, MLK Blvd in various cities got named,
Baltimore has one (downtown), find others in other cities,
(any rural areas?) and wonder how changing history, revisionists,
and who writes this stuff, anyway(s)?
Better yet, don't call it writing, Stonehenge, this is not...
Tablet writing is painful, stone carvers and tablets, this is not,
(nor TombStones) nor the 10 Commandments,
just some drivel on the web, most probably don't even read,
much less claim to have written...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
Does the Meritocracy get an upgrade?
If all U.S. of A****** Presidents before Obama were White,
do we proportionally update the names,
replacing those going out of favour, Nixon (impeachment?),
Clinton (near impeachment?), some lost to history as some of our worst?
(By Popularity? and/or What Objective Scale?) etc?
Like the coins and Women being added to the faces of our money?
If the Minority Opinion is still valued, or is it just Hate, in it's many forms?
Interpretation, if seen later, Back To The Future like seeing eye dogs?
