Council votes down resolution asking city to make plan, budget $500K to remove Confederate monuments

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville City Council on Tuesday voted against a resolution that asked Mayor Lenny Curry and the city to propose a plan that would budget $500,000 to remove remaining Confederate monuments.

The debate comes two years after Curry said they need to come down. A controversial monument still stands uncovered in Springfield Park. It is now the focus of much attention, dividing the council and many people living in the city.

The one monument removed two years ago was of a Confederate soldier that sat atop a pedestal, located across from City Hall. Many thought it meant a change in Jacksonville. The soldier was put away in storage, but the pedestal remains.

Specifically, Councilman Matt Carlucci's resolution called for the removal of the statue at Springfield Park and the remaining pedestal at James Weldon Johnson Park. It requested city officials present a revised plan and timeline.


This is the fag leading the charge...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville's 200th birthday is a call to action for some community members.

Take 'em Down Jax and other organizations stood at City Hall and protested the Confederate monuments still standing in the city.

They held signs and chanted, calling for an end to white supremacy and begging city leaders to finally take down the rest of the monuments.

Protesters wielded signs reading "a racist city is not a bold city," among others.

"We want the city to take a stand. We want the city to remove Confederate monuments," Northside Coalition president and founder Ben Frazier said.

Saturday's rally wasn't like any others.

Protesters chose to gather in the light of Jacksonville's bicentennial celebration.

Take 'em Down Jax spokesperson Wells Todd believes holding such an event in the shadow of where a Confederate monument once stood at James Weldon Johnson Park is an endorsement of the Confederacy.

"They're still endorsing what these statues were put up to represent, and that is the philosophy of white supremacy," Todd said.

A column of that statue still stands in the park, along with the "Women of the Southern Confederacy" monument in Springfield Park, where it has stood since 1915.

CHANGING THE WAY AMERICA THINKS ABOUT CIRCUMCISION

CIRCUMCISION HARMS BABY BOYS
Male child genital cutting (aka circumcision) is a hotly debated issue. Your support for Intact America will help us to spread the message that circumcision of baby boys—and the men they will become—is harmful, unnecessary, and wrong.

Every man who has been circumcised has two stories...
...the one he can't remember,
...and the one he can't forget.
As a newborn, he probably will not recall being restrained, or his penis being clamped and cut (one in five men say they do remember it). What he is unaware of is that his brain may not develop normally because of the severe pain and trauma.

As a man, he might be reminded daily that his penis is not whole, not fully functional, and has a scar running around it. And he might know that he may still suffer from complications, like being at an increased risk for erectile dysfunction.

Biden: Jewish Leaders Helped Same-Gender Marriage Succeed

The Washington Post reports:  Jewish leaders in the media are in large part responsible for American acceptance of same-gender marriage, Vice President Biden said Tuesday night.

"I believe what affects the movements in America, what affects our attitudes in America are as much the culture and the arts as anything else," he said at a Democratic National Committee reception for Jewish American Heritage Month. He cited social media and the sitcom "Will and Grace," giving Jews a large part of the credit for both.

"I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it's in Hollywood or social media are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry," he said. "The influence is immense, the influence is immense. And, I might add, it is all to the good. "

The vice president also praised Jewish contributions to science, immigration reform, the civil-rights movement, the arts, the law and to feminism.

"I think you vastly underestimate the impact you've had on the development of this nation," he said. "We're a great country because of the contributions and most importantly because of Jewish heritage and the values you brought."

The praise was so profuse that New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait found it worrisome, noting that white supremacists are already taking Biden's speech as evidence of a secret Jewish conspiracy.

Excerpt: At the end of his speech, the vice president said the values stemming from Jewish tradition run deep in American culture. "Jewish heritage has shaped who we are — all of us, us, me — as much or more than any other factor in the last 223 years. And that's a fact."

Congress legislated Jewish American Heritage Month in 2006. President Barack Obama was the first president, in 2010, to mark it with a celebration.
