Dr Ezekiel, a historian and professor emerita of women's and African American studies, thought little more of the statue until decades after her visit, in 2017.
That August, white supremacists gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia to protest the proposed removal of another statue, of Confederate General Robert E Lee.
Men marched through the streets chanting 'Jews will not replace us' and 'white lives matter'. An avowed neo-Nazi drove his car into a crowd, killing one person and injuring dozens more.
Watching the horror unfold on the news, Judith saw the far right demonstrators near a statue of Thomas Jefferson in the city.

A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media.
Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain.

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheoryCulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification [Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue [Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange [Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

Addendum #IRLScholarSaraAhmed "the Aryan Nations Web site, the role of emotions, in particular of hate and love, is crucial to the delineation of the bodies of individual subjects and the body of the nation. Here a subject (the white nationalist, the average white man, the white housewife, the white working man, the white citizen, and the white Christian farmer) is presented as endangered by imagined others whose proximity threatens not only to take something away from the subject (jobs, security, wealth), but to take the place of the subject. In other words, the presence of these others is imagined as a threat to the object of love. The narrative involves a rewriting of history, in which the labor of others (migrants, slaves) is concealed in a fantasy that it is the white subject who 'built this land.' The white subjects claim the place of hosts ('our shores') at the same time as they claim the position of the victim, as the ones who are damaged by an 'unmerciful government.' The narrative hence suggests that it is love for the nation that makes the white Aryans hate those whom they recognize as strangers, as the ones who are taking away the nation and the role of the Aryans in its history, as well as their future.
We might note as well that the reading of others as hateful aligns the imagined subject with rights and the imagined nation with ground. This alignment is affected by the representation of both the rights of the subject and the grounds of the nation as already under threat. It is the emotional reading of hate that works to bind the imagined white subject and nation together. The average white man feels 'fear and loathing'; the white housewife, 'repulsion and anger'; the white workingman, 'curses'; the white Christian farmer, 'rage.' The passion of these negative attachments to others is redefined simultaneously as a positive attachment to the imagined subjects brought together through the repetition of the signifier, 'white.' It is the love of white, or those recognizable as white, that supposedly explains this shared 'communal' visceral response of hate. Together we hate, and this hate is what makes us together" (Sara Ahmed, 2004, pp.117-118).

Context (translated from German) "The statement in this poster that disabled people are of no value, only cause high costs, but do not bring any benefit, bears witness to one of the most disgusting chapters of the Nazi era. It is the systematic killing of women, men and children with mental illnesses, mental or physical disabilities, who were considered 'unworthy of life' according to the National Socialist racial and ethnic community ideology. Between 1939 and 1941, around 70,000 patients from sanatoriums and nursing homes in the six killing centers in Bernburg, Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hademar, Hartheim and Pirna-Sonnenschein were murdered by gas. #OtheringUnhealthy
Public protests, e.g. by the Bishop of Münster, Count von Galen, then led to the end of the extermination program. The personnel from the killing centers, who were now specialized in killing people, were transferred to the Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka extermination camps in order to participate in the 'final solution to the Jewish question'.

After the Second World War was unleashed, the Nazi regime ordered the murder of ' hereditary and mentally ill ' who had been classified as ' unworthy of life ' . Because this crime - euphemistically referred to by the Nazis as ' euthanasia ' - was organized from a villa in Berlin's Tiergartenstrasse 4, it is still referred to as ' Action T4 ' to this day . As early as autumn 1939, experts used registration forms from all German sanatoriums and nursing homes to determine which patients were considered ' unworthy of life ' according to the Nazi definition.have to apply. The number determined is around 70,000. The actual murder operation began in January 1940. The first killing center that was selected and converted for this purpose was Schloss Grafeneck in Württemberg - others soon followed. The people whose death sentences have been sealed are brought to the institution in buses and brutally murdered in gas chambers disguised as shower rooms. The bodies are cremated. The true cause of death is kept secret so as not to arouse public dislike. (al)" https://www.baden18-45.de/filter/1940-01-vernichtung-lebensunwerten-lebens-der-beginn-der-euthanasie-aktion-t4/
"The National Socialists referred to persons as 'antisocial elements', who 'refused to fit into the order of the national community' and considered them 'alien to the community'. This included beggars, homeless people, the 'work shy', prostitutes, non-conforming youths but also 'gypsies and vagabond itinerant people'. 'Antisocial' also became a general term for people from lower social strata that were considered inferior, who did not work or did not work sufficiently or lived a lifestyle deemed incompatible with the regime. Several large-scale raids were performed across the Reich, e.g. the beggar raids in September 1933 and the 'National Action against the Workshy' in April 1938. People who were considered 'antisocial' were frequently sterilised against their will, based on the explanation that they suffered from 'hereditary feeble-mindedness', as it was a general presumption that 'antisocial' characteristics were passed on among 'antisocial ethnic groups'. The Criminal Police compiled files on these individuals and labelled them as 'anti - social elements', these people could be systematically observed by the police and even taken in 'preventive custody' and interned in concentration camps. People considered 'antisocial elements' had low chances of survival in the concentration camps. They were marked with a black triangle and kept mostly isolated from the other prisoners." https://museenkoeln.de/ns-dokumentationszentrum/default.aspx?s=780#abs14956

#OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOP.s) is opposite but equal - cancelling each other out i.e. a
#ReasoningFallacyZeroSumThinking. [Wikipedia] The point that 'politicians are all the same' also feels very
#BehaviourDefeatism.ist (saying something about the lack of
#PhenomnAgencyEmpowerment that is presumably, felt by those who are making the statement). The obvious question to ask is about who benefits from this position i.e. who's interests does disengaging from politics serve?
I'm thinking here of
#OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump's misjudgement where be infamously told the
#OrgSyndicateMilitiaUSProudBoys to
#PleaStandBackAndStandBy and then followed on by condemning
#CauseAntifa in relation to
#PoliticsNationalismWhite violence at the
#2017_UniteTheRightRally in
#ToponymAmericaNorthUSVirginiaCharlottesville, where he sought to
#BehaviourNormalisation.e (and therefore,
#BehaviourTrivialisation.e) the violence with his statement: "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides" [fact-checked]
