I have just re-read the Ordinance of Secession that Texas adopted on 1st February 1861.
Can there be a more white supremacist document?
And to think that Jones' ancestors were generals and colonels in the Confederate Army!
You can easily find the ordinance on t'interweb. But I quote here the most abhorrent, white supremacist statements in that ordinance:
She [Texas] was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time.
...We [Texas] hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.
That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding States.
I would like to know if Jones' ancestors were slaveholders themselves, for I see little remorse in Jones for his family's defence of the Confederacy.
Also note that in the Texas ordinance there is no mention of tariffs. It is all straight up white supremacy.
Also note that a signatory to the ordinance is one Fielding Jones from Victoria, and a delegate to the second session was Tignal W Jones from Smith. Any relation?
I am concerned about this because Jones has had guests on his show who proclaim or publish articles that support the Confederacy and claim that the Confederate states seceded because of tariffs. But if you read the ordinances of secession, tariffs are barely mentioned, and when they are they are a secondary reason, slavery being the overwhelming primary reason.
How much research has Jones done on his family's relationship with the Confederacy, considering he gives the impression he knows everything (he is flogging the 'truth') yet knows fuck all about the scumbag slaveholder Andrew Jackson?
I hope I am not violating Jones' safe space or hurting his feewings. Jones is a man (or so he says). He can take this. He can therefore, being at the tip of the spear, 'fess up about his family's relationship with the Confederacy.
This needs sorting out: the self-proclaimed leader of 'the resistance' has a deep and as yet hidden relationship with the Confederacy, and he is exhibiting sympathies towards it by allowing dodgy guests to spew their lies about the honour of the Confederacy, and he pushes books and supports political organisations that push a rose-tinted image of a disgusting slaveholder, President Andrew Jackson, who began the forced removal of native Americans from their ancestral lands which eventually led to the Confederacy, and who far from being a bank-slayer actually gave the Rothschilds their big break.
And what does PJW know about Jones' family relationship with the Confederacy? Can he even be arsed?
