FPO disc golfer Hailey King made this statement on her Instagram account:

I worked a job outside Nashville and for the first time, saw the Slave Walls that are still standing. Chest high dry stacks with jagged slate tops. Blew me away.

[u/RocktoberBlood → u/Reckless42]

I mean the Nashville Zoo was once a plantation and they're still digging up dead slaves when they break new ground.

[u/LJkjm901 → u/Reckless42]

Why would anyone want to tear down the beautiful stacked stone walls? They weren’t all built by slaves and they weren’t for containing slaves. They shouldn’t have a negative connotation. This was a common wall building technique of the era. And it showcases the talent and skill of the slaves despite the worst possible living conditions.

[u/Reckless42 → u/LJkjm901]

I wasn't saying tear them down. Just that it blew me away because I'd never seen anything like it.

[u/rj8899 → u/LJkjm901]

They just shouldn’t be torn down so we’re reminded history still lingers. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with seeing that. What’s wrong is tearing stuff down as if it fixes something.

[u/smoketheherbdean → u/LJkjm901]

Worst possible living conditions? I think there was a little more than just that my guy and “they were not all built by slaves” is a stupid statement because most of them were you jack wagon of course a couple had to be built by non slaves

[u/LJkjm901 → u/smoketheherbdean]

I take it you can tell me where in Nashville that there is a stacked stone wall that you are aware of that was built by slaves? Because that technique was A COMMON BUILDING TECHNIQUE OF THE ERA. From Donelson out to Lebanon there are a few miles of wall all built by frontiersmen. Fur trappers that opened up exploration of the area. They teach you this in TN history class, which is part of the state’s core curriculum. Because it’s important to teach future generations about the past.

And just because they were slaves your bigoted self doesn’t think their work should be preserved and their talent appreciated?

[u/Buy_Anxious → u/LJkjm901]

And you don’t think that they’ve whitewashed the history curriculum to make the absolutely heinous history of enslaved people in the south a little more palatable?

[u/smoketheherbdean → u/Buy_Anxious]

Exactly my response this guy is ridiculous they also taught you Columbus came over to America and there were no black people but the indigenous tribes of the time told stories of the “mud skinned tribes who were here in America since the beginning of their time in the land” but me a black man speaking my mind on a landmark that is without refutability wrong for a disc golf course to take place am the bigot. Try and host a disc golf course on one of the internment camps in Auschwitz’s or Manzanar and see if that gets voted through but since it’s just us black folks or “slaves” as you said fuck it right (let this shit really soak in it’s wrong brotha and you know that deep down)

[u/CovertMonkey → u/Buy_Anxious]

Exactly! I attended schools in the and they really preach that the civil war was about states rights

[u/LJkjm901 → u/Buy_Anxious]

It would be a tough premise to defend given the amount of slavery and its horrors that are covered.

You’d have to assume the textbook author is in on it. Not a lot of colleges out there teaching a different view on the slavery era in the US.

[u/smoketheherbdean → u/LJkjm901]

So you deleted the post about people seeing through my “fake” persona and called me a bigot again out of the context of the definition so I was wondering if you could explain what I am bigoted about

[u/LJkjm901 → u/smoketheherbdean]

I didn’t delete anything dumbass. You just replied to the wrong comment.

What part of Nashville is your totally real and legitimate persona from? Which stacked stone walls are you 100% positive were “slave walls”.

You’re a bigot because of how you judge people by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.

[u/smoketheherbdean → u/LJkjm901]

1.When have I said something derogatory about anyone’s race 2. I am from California never ever said I was from your backwoods town. 3. You think that playing on a historical sight that held slaves is fine for disc golf 4. You think the joking about the slaves quarters being “spacious duplexes” or whatever Paul and any other disc golf pros said about the grounds joking or otherwise is just fine as long as it’s done to black people it’s always forgive and forget
