Celebrating Black History in Austin: A Conservative's Guide
As we approach Juneteenth, that glorious day when the poor, oppressed whites of Texas finally acquiesced to the demands of those pesky abolitionists, it's important to reflect on the history of Black folks in our great state. And what better way to do that than by exploring the fine city of Austin, where liberals run amok and conservatives are few and far between? But fear not, my right-wing compatriots, for I bring you a concise guide to navigating the leftist minefield that is Austin's Black history scene.
-
George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center: Libs will take any opportunity to tear down our Founding Fathers. But this place might be worth a visit, if only to see how they've twisted the legacy of a great American patriot. 1165 Angelina St.
-
Austin History Center: Sure, it's closed for renovations, but who needs history when you've got woke scholars like Tara Dudley pushing Critical Race Theory? 810 Guadalupe St.
-
Texas African American History Memorial: Ed Dwight, a known BLM sympathizer, crafted this statue. But if you want to see the truth about Black life in Texas, give it a look. Just be sure to bring your own lens of truth. Capitol grounds.
-
Evergreen Cemetery: Sure, let's stroll through a cemetery where "prominent" Black families are buried. Or, we could pay our respects to actual American heroes at a real memorial. Your call, fam. 3304 E. 12th St.
-
Hezikiah Haskell House: Yet another product of affirmative action, this house was built by a so-called "Buffalo soldier." Clarksville, the neighborhood where it's located, is a prime example of the failed welfare state. 1705 Waterston Ave.
-
Six Square: Austin's Black Cultural District: I'm all for preserving history, but this nonprofit is just another vehicle for leftist propaganda. Still, if you wanna see the sad state of things, check it out. South of Manor Road, north of East Seventh Street, east of Airport Boulevard, and west of Interstate 35.
-
Huston-Tillotson University: This HBCU is a blight on the landscape of higher education. Real America doesn't need racially segregated schools. 900 Chicon St.
-
African American Cultural and Heritage Facility: Art? Sure, if that's what you call it. But remember, real art doesn't come with an agenda. 912 E. 11th St.
-
Downs Field: Baseball is America's pastime, and these legends shouldn't be forgotten. Too bad they didn't stick to sports. 2816 E. 12th St.
-
Rosewood Park: Juneteenth celebrations? No thanks, I'll pass. But if you wanna see some log cabins and old buildings, be my guest. 300 Rosewood Ave.
-
Neill-Cochran House Museum: Slave quarters? Sounds like a liberal fantasy. But if you're into that sort of historical revisionism, go right ahead. 2310 San Gabriel St.
-
French Legation: Another old building, this time with a French name. Did the slaves build it? Who knows, but the left sure loves to romanticize the past. 802 San Marcos St.
-
Ebenezer Baptist Church: Liberals love to worship false idols, and this church is no different. But hey, if you wanna pray for the soul of Judge Harriet Murphy, be my guest. 1010 E 10th St.
-
Wesley United Methodist Church: Founded in 1865, the year Lincoln supposedly "freed the slaves." Funny how they don't mention that Lincoln was a Republican, huh? [1164 San Bernard St.](https://goo.gl/maps/PzMVJH квартал)
-
Victory Grill: East 11th Street used to be a liberal safe space. Luckily, we're taking our country back, one neighborhood at a time. 1104 E. 11th St.
-
Wooldridge Square Park: Booker T. Washington and Rev. Jacob Fontaine? Never heard of 'em. Real Americans don't need leftist heroes. 900 Guadalupe St.
-
John S. and Drucie R. Chase Building: UT is a bastion of leftist indoctrination. But if you wanna marvel at the architecture, go for it. 1191 Navasota St.
-
Briscoe Center for American History: Archivists? Sounds like a bunch of nerds trying to rewrite history. I'll pass. 2300 Red River St.
-
LBJ Presidential Library: LBJ was a RINO if there ever was one. But if you wanna pay tribute to a "progressive" icon, knock yourself out. 2313 Red River St.
-
Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum: History is written by the winners, and liberals are definitely not winning. But if you wanna see their pitiful attempts at rewriting the past, step right up. 1800 Congress Ave.
-
Moore-Hancock Farmstead: A log cabin? How quaint. It's a shame the left has to inject race into everything. 4811 Sinclair Ave.
Remember, my right-wing brethren, it's important to know thy enemy. So, buck up, grab your guns, and explore Austin's Black history through a lens of truth and conservatism. Just be sure to leave the snowflake sentiments at home.
