One time I was walking in SoHo and I saw this piece of graffiti: “Fuck tha Pilgrims.” You tell those seventeenth century Protestants! I would love to know more about who wrote this. I imagine he is a tagger by night, American history graduate student by day. I spent the rest of my shopping trip imagining what else he probably sprayed around the city:
Fuck tha Jamestown colony.
Fuck tha federalists.
Fuck tha Monroe-Pinckney treaty.
Fuck tha Niña. Fuck tha Pinta. Cherish tha Santa Maria.
Fuck tha New Deal.
Fuck tha eliminizzation of tha gold standard.
Fuck tha Smoot-Hawley tariffs, often indicated as a major exacerbator of tha Great Depression and an obstacle to Germany’s post-war economic recovery, leading to tha fall of tha Weimar republic and tha rise of fascizzle.
