BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 13

Wednesday, February 28, 2024

“We know how you all want us to cancel black people when they do something bad, but you keep making excuses for people you revere. People say, ‘can’t we just draw the line at rapists and murderers?’ But for us history is rife with horrible men and then we’ve learned that we have to sing praises to those horrible men, and we see them on our money and their names on our schools and our bridges. So horrible man is not a disqualifier. Our lives are imbued with them. When they ask us about Michael Jackson (how can you sing those songs?) and R Kelly; it’s complicated. I will get rid of Michael Jackson when you get rid of Andrew Jackson. At least you can dance to Beat It. But our stories are so full of irredeemably horrible people that it’s something we can compartmentalize. Literally, if Bill Cosby was a priest, he wouldn’t be in prison.” – D.L. Hughley, Surrender, White People!: Our Unconditional Terms for Peace

#OTD in #History 1830, #AndrewJackson signed the Indian Removal Act, leading 10K to die from the #TrailofTears. A Senator had warned, “Let us beware how, by oppressive encroachments upon the sacred privileges of our Indian neighbors, we minister to the agonies of future remorse.”

Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson

"King Andrew I"

Basic Info

B. March 15, 1767 – d. June 8, 1845

Term: March 4, 1829 – March 4,1837

Party: Democratic

From Carolinas/Tennessee

VP: John C. Calhoun and Martin Van Buren

Known as a brutal General that had led to many of the successful efforts of the US in expansionism and conflicts with Natives, Jackson was an icon of advocating for the “common man” which was much different than John Q. Adams. He was a southern slave-owner that believed in maintaining slavery, adopting the “spoils system” into government, and his presidency was one of the worst in terms of protecting Native American rights. His impact on the banking system is what makes his face appear on one of the dollar bills.

Main Points of Inauguration(s):

March 4, 1829 (Link)

Jackson puts emphasis on abiding by the limitations listed in the Constitution for the executive branch, promises to preserve peace with foreign nations, and to have respect for those that are in the Union

He promises to facilitate the end of national debt (which he achieves) and to make sure the officers in charge are doing their job.

He promises to give the people a just and civil authority, especially for the native tribes. (The Trail of Tears).

He acknowledges that he might not have all the experiences of his predecessors but he will try his best

March 4, 1833 (Link)

He acknowledges the various successes of the nation, including the foreign policy and the important representatives that help advocate for the constituents

He mentions his duty to the Constitution and the duty to patriotic submission to the laws of the nation. He pushes for all to listen to his plead of the importance of state governments instead of annihilating them. This is to preserve the union between them.

"Without union our independence and liberty would never have been achieved; without union they never can be maintained."

All eyes are on the nation and it is now that we must make sure that the connections between states and the integrity of the states remain intact.

The nation must remember that one must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest.

Main Conflicts

Reform in the rotation of offices

Uncovering fraud carried out by officials

Nullification - the forefront issue of Sectionalism

The Bank War (McCulloch vs Maryland)

The Eaton Affair

Presidential Commentary

The presidency of Andrew Jackson was a turning point in US history. The amount of progress made, in almost all varying aspects of the nation, was a new precedent that should remain in high importance of presidential history.

One of the strengths seen in the Jacksonian era of history is the success of national reform in terms of financial debt. The fact that Jackson was able to eliminate the national debt and come out with a surplus of $440,000 is something that the nation had never seen before, nor was it achieved ever since. The cutting of spending which he deemed extravagant and the uncovering of fraud that littered the official offices of government, even the Postmaster of the time. These two actions set a precedent that to this day seems to be unreachable as the nation is now in the trillions of dollars of debt. This was what made his actions to be held in high regard and made him a strong president.

Another action that was historic of Jackson was his treatment of the Native Americans. His strict policy of expelling tribes to the western part of the US changed the landscape of the nation forever. The path now known as the Trail of Tears was the nail in the coffin and led to the essential decline of the natives in the US after the years of “civilization” school originally created by Monroe and lack of action from Adams. His disregard for their civil liberties and rights forever changed how history was taught, the history of our nation, and the population of Native Americans.

The people also held onto Jackson with high pride for the way that he dealt with the Nullification crisis. This was the effect of the Tariffs of Abomination, mentioned in the John Q. Adams post, and South Carolina threatened to succeed from the union. Although there were these threats, they were pounded by Jackson in his declaration that the federal law was more powerful than state laws. In a final way to compromise with the south, Henry Clay – a senator in 1833, helped to write compromise tariffs to lower those taxes over the next decade (5). If it weren’t for Jackson, perhaps the nation would not have adopted the commands that the federal law precedes the state laws.

Finally, one of the most legendary events that happened in the period of Andrew Jackson was The Bank War that occurred after Congress tried passing a rechartered bill (5). Despite Congress passing it, and the Supreme Court declaring that a national bank established by the government was constitutional in the case of McCulloch v. Maryland, Jackson vetoed it. This was because he thought that it was a creation of the “privileged class” and gave people too much power. One can see his argument, but it still negatively impacted the transactions of the national government and hindered much of the progress need financially. His final kick to the stomach of the bank system was his demand to empty the national bank and deposit to the state banks to weaken the national system. The impact of this action by Jackson induced the creation of the Whig Party which was essentially an umbrella party for anti-Jackson parties.

There is no telling what the US would have been like if Jackson was not elected to office but it is safe to say that without him the US government would not be the same and nor would the current amount of debt. The leadership that he showed to reform and his legacy on the natives are important actions that cannot be forgotten or discarded.

Bram Stoker’s Shadow Builder (1998)

What’s this?! Bram Stoker’s Shadow Builder? The same Bram Stoker who wrote Dracula? With such credentials, this movie is going to be awesome. I bet the story it’s based on is a horror classic just waiting to be discovered!

Those are the thoughts that passed through my head when I first glimpsed at the holographic VHS tape cover of this horror film. Having now seen it, I can understand why this film has remained obscure. It’s dull and unoriginal. I bet a lot of people wanted to expand on the flimsy Wikipedia article, but after seeing the film, couldn't muster up the energy.

When a group of Satanists summons a demon to destroy the world, Father Jacob Vassey (Michael Rooker) is our only hope. If he can stop the Shadow Builder from capturing young Chris Hatcher (Kevin Zegers) before a solar eclipse taking place in a few days, he will prevent the end of days.

I know it’s unfair to compare this film to others that came later, but the way Shadow Builder plays out, it’s essentially a boring End of Days. A demon is going about sewing destruction and determined to end the world while a tough gun-toting hero who doesn’t play by the rules is tasked with stopping him. I’m not saying the Arnold Schwarzenegger picture is good - In fact, I'd say it's bad, but in a fun way. “Shadow Builder” is not frightening, it doesn’t have any interesting or new ideas and none of the characters are compelling.

You could sharpen Michael Rooker and use him to kill vampires he's so wooden. I’m not sure if director Jamie Dixon was thinking he'd seem extra gruff and gritty by wheezing his way through his dialogue, but he’s never convincing. Characters die, others survive. You don't care. There’s no gore, only a little bit of sleazy nudity to jog you awake. The demon walking around is somewhat interesting to look at. I like the concept of him turning people into solid shadows which crumble when exposed to light. Don't think it's worth watching the movie for. It's more interesting in concept than in execution.

This is the kind of movie you immediately forget. Was there a point to Tony Todd as the eccentric outcast? Not really. His actions could have been done by a more prominent character to eliminate the unnecessary plot strands he brings. Why do the bad guys want to end the world? We’re given a quick explanation that proves that all movie Satanists are morons who will end up getting themselves killed by their own dark lord. How does the movie end? I barely remember.

I can’t say I disliked Shadow Builder, but it’s not bad in a fun or memorable way. I bet many horror fans have seen this movie because copies of it keep getting bought for a couple of bucks and then pawned off or sold at garage sales for someone else to watch and then forget. I can’t fathom anyone not putting this one in the box of movies “to get rid of”. (On VHS, September 22, 2015)
