Contemporary Democrats Shouldn’t Be Celebrating Old Hickory
By This won’t come as a surprise to longtime readers of this blog, but I heartily endorse this event or product:
Jacksonian populism cannot be separated from the genocidal policies of Andrew Jackson’s presidency. The Democratic Party has for too long financially profited from this despicable history. It’s time for the party’s leaders to heed their own advice to the NFL and stop profiting from the celebration of Jackson’s legacy.
Yup — it’s really well past time to rename the Jefferson-Jackson dinners.
