“Sausage fest”? What does that mean, anyway?

Why Does the Capitol Still Whitewash White Supremacists?

I searched Wikipedia with “sausage fest” and it took me straight to this.

Gender imbalance

Definitely a snide, liberal feminist thing.

A generational thing, too?

Hence a geezer like me didn’t know about it?

Anyway, nearly all of the statues are of men and nearly all are of white people.

But there are some women and several non-whites of note.

These are statues of people who played a significant leadership role in American history.

So the preponderance of males and whites is no surprise.

This has always been an overwhelmingly white country, and still is.

Too, for much of our history blacks were mostly enslaved and, later, kept down by legally mandated exclusion and discrimination.

For much of our history, women were excluded not only from politics but from anything but menial work outside the home, or a handful of "women's" professions like teaching.

Welcome to America.

Welcome to the reality liberals profess so to cherish, but so often don’t want to face.

Anyway, time to get the leaders of the confederacy out of there?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

That would in large measure defeat the point of the place, after all.

And it’s certainly not time to take out all the white supremacists.

Far too many of the movers and shakers in most of our national history could easily be classed as that, for one reason or another.

After all, are we ready to run Andrew Jackson out of DC, quite yet?

Maybe John Calhoun?

Sam Houston?

Brigham Young?

Is Woodrow Wilson in there, somewhere?

Should we take Jefferson and Washington off Mr. Rushmore because they owned slaves?

Lincoln off because he thought blacks inferior and that, after slavery, they might best be sent to Africa?

And TR, too, because "The White Man's Burden" warmed his heart?

Strangely enough, not everything is about race.

And should we pretend that what was and is about race played no role in our history?

Just blot it out because PC liberals don’t want to have to look at it?

Ah, to be reality-based!

Bad enough they want fictional and artistic representations of the past to show an integrated America with no trace of inequality between the sexes, unless to castigate America's past and make today's white males feel guilty.

But actual history?
