They do remember that EFG was named as such for a reason and his mask is also after the ultimate failure that was the Gunpowder Plot...

Are they truly still using him as an emblem?

Edit: oh hell I didn't realize I was in this thread. Should post a pic.

A Story of Slavery in Modern America posted:

My parents were good to my siblings and me, and we loved them. But they’d be affectionate to us kids one moment and vile to Lola the next. I was 11 or 12 when I began to see Lola’s situation clearly. By then Arthur, eight years my senior, had been seething for a long time. He was the one who introduced the word slave into my understanding of what Lola was. Before he said it I’d thought of her as just an unfortunate member of the household. I hated when my parents yelled at her, but it hadn’t occurred to me that they—and the whole arrangement—could be immoral.

Herder’s cultural philosophy could also be called historicist. This should be understood in the way that all historical phenomenons are unique and must be understood in relation to the ideas, principles, and institutions that apply to a society at a given time in history. So Herder considered man a historical being: The individual human being is thus a being that has been determined by its time and its place, which can only realize its human nature within the boundaries set by its culture.

Yeah, I just read that. Holy poo poo, was it heartbreaking. I'm glad the author tried to make up somewhat for what his family had done. It must have been a really hard article to write, too.

"I had a family, a career, a house in the suburbs—the American dream. And then I had a slave."
