A Bias Set in Stone
Meet Craig Stone. Since June of 2013, he has been the Program and Education Coordinator at the Brownsville Historical Museum (1 and 2), an institution dedicated to "preserve, educate, and promote the history, heritage, and cultural arts of Brownsville exhibitions." However, I am disappointed to inform you that Mr. Stone is also an active member of the 6th Brigade in the Texas Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, meaning that he holds a view on the American Civil War that does not coincide with historical facts.
This does not sound like a man who should be considered a reliable educator or museum coordinator, but maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's take a look at the evidence.
I recommend you read my last few articles on the festering Confederate presence in Brownsville. In the first, I present the history surrounding the Civil War and the short-lived rebellion that was the Confederate States of America, with historical quotes from relevant figures and documents, while the second points out the injustice our museum committed by promoting the glorification of the confederate movement but disregarding Rev. Martin Luther King Jr, a man whose words and actions were used to liberate rather than oppress, the day after.
Long story short: Northerners grew concerned with the South's reliance on African-Americans for slave labor. The South became defensive. Physical conflict. The South decided to form their own nation so they could do as they pleased, keeping slaves. The North denied their secession, defeated the South, and outlawed slavery, paving the way for racial equality. The 1902 SCV Constitution states that the group's purpose is "to instill into [their] descendants a proper veneration for the spirit and the glory of [their] fathers, and bring them into association with our Confederation." In reality, they attempt to justify lingering bits of racist memorabilia as cherishable historical pieces of nostalgic and educational value, and they are very defensive about their stuff.
On December 19th, 2015, Brownsville citizen, Antonio Castillo, started a petition to remove the Jefferson Davis Memorial, a physical manifestation of outdated bigotry on public display, from Washington Park. Two days later, Stone shared a counterpetition on his Facebook page, urging people to oppose its removal.
His cause is supported by James Mills, Vice President of Brownsville Historical Association's Board of Directors, who told The Brownsville Herald "we have a lot of dark history in the past" and that "we can reinterpret it today but it doesn't change the past." He thinks "it is important that it stays there in Washington Park." This statement shows that Mills either does not understand that there's a difference between acknowledging and glorifying these dark times or simply does not respect people of a different color.
Also speaking for the memorial is Eugene Fernandez, Old City Cemetery Coordinator, who very passionately expressed how he would defend it from "these bandy-legged upstarts." I don't know what he means either, but that "scratching and scraping" he mentioned sounds like a physical threat.
Favoring a twisted version of history over fact undermines Stone's credibility as an educator and museum coordinator. Glorifying those who fought for the right to oppress others strips him of any respectability as a human being. His activity on social media is consistent in showing his southern pride, even going so far as spreading revival propaganda!
He is as much a representative of Confederate racism and stubbornness as the Jefferson Davis memorial, and, in order for Brownsville to progress, they must both be removed from their current positions as soon as possible.

ReplyDeleteConsider giving him a break, Jim. I mean, they found a uniform that would fit him. That right there is probably the one and only plus in his life. And I'm being serious. Without a smirk on my face.
Mayim.
A Neo-Confederate group is threatening to sue the city if they attempt to move the memorial to the museum. So much for supporting education and respecting ALL Americans... I guess they haven't heard that Confederate sympathizers lost in court against the University of Texas at Austin and the City of New Orleans.

ReplyDeleteYes, Mexico will rise again, or what south do you mean?

Craig Stone has done more for the community than this pre-pubescent pipsqueak blogger and Antonio Castillo combined. Where was Castillo twenty years ago? He sure as hell wasn't protesting this monument. Hey Castillo, was it less offensive then? It looks to me that his wife moved down here (six months ago) and was offended by the monument and is using her husband to carry on this charade of a crusade. Fact: No one in Brownsville gives a damn either way! Listen up Castillo, it's a FUCKING rock. It's not a FUCKING symbol of racism! It's not a FUCKING monument of Jefferson Davis beating a FUCKING black woman. Let me say this again so both pipsqueak and Castillo will understand this. IT IS A FUCKING ROCK! This is the same BULLSHIT that happened when they relocated the Stillman Ranch House. "Charles Stillman may have raped young Mexican ranch hands there." "It's racist against the Mexicans". NO IT ISN'T! It's a FUCKING house, nothing more. Hey Castillo, if you're going to go on a one man crusade against anything offensive, why don't you have the FUCKING sewer system removed. It was in fact the location where prominent women of old took the shits that birthed our current generation of DUMB SHIT politicians. YA BASTA!
ReplyDeleteIf you were trying to convince us that you are not a racist, you have failed.
DeleteThe Stillman house is simply a representation of an historic building but a rock with an engraving paying homage to a racist form of government is a symbol no matter how much you wish it wasn't so. I remember this "rock" when it was on Palm Blvd. I don't think it should be displayed as a tribute though I do think it should be displayed in a museum setting as a symbol of our past.
DeleteThat granite stone holding the traitor's name has done more than Craig Stone and you, anonymous(coward?), combined, at least at learning basic history, but of course you are not to blame, I blame Texas Historic Society... Are you a traitor friend of Castillo's, you seem to know a lot about him and his family?...... On the symbol itself, why don't we have monuments to all other traitors and countries that have ruled over this land, like Mexico, better yet France, or all the native of Americans?
DeleteLet me guess, your white.
DeletePerhaps Antonio Castillo should have reworded his petition to RELOCATE rather than REMOVE, since REMOVE has negative connotations which then could be misinterpreted by many. (Remove = destroy!!!!!!!!) As always, people tend to "complain" (petition) without providing a solution, which could have been to RELOCATE the rock, eerrrr, "monument" (icon that blandishes the Confederates attempts to secede with underlying (a lot) of negative racial, cultural, societal implications). Yes, we know that Brownsville was known as the Back Door to the Confederacy and have to "thank" the confederacy for making Brownsville a flourishing city compared to the rest of the country/ies during that era, but those were some tumultuous times. We can respect these lives (the Confederates), but not so much these ... how can I put it? ... bad ideas? (don't know how to say it) ... Move it to a museum in other words and erect something that represents and gives Brownsville hope! Because really, ... there are only a few fellow Brownsvillians that understand the implications and connotations of this, much less the rich history we have, be it be good or bad. But now in the present we have a bad reputation, which we should erect something, as I have stated, something that represents our hope and hard work to help our city and make Brownsville Bright (I'm just tying in Juan Trevino's blog into this and it works), but not in a time where oppression was present, but rather opportunities and equality for all, that us human beings, citizens of the US of A, and most importantly proud Brownsville Residents, either new, old, young or old deserve. ... ... Just making a Brownsville Observation, here.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point, and you should go into politics...
DeletePeople like to hide behind behind a computer screen as they spout uneducated things. For the "anonymous" person criticizing me and the blogger...
ReplyDeleteI was still in public school here in Brownsville 20 years ago. When I reached high school, I did bring up to the city commission. Back then, teens were not taken seriously. We have an intelligent group of commissioners this time.
As far as doing things for the community, I've worked as an educator at different capacities - from elementary school to the college level. I've worked all over Texas, including the RGV. Not only do we help public school students, we promote higher education. We also do our best to bring back those who dropped out and encourage them to pass the GED test. We continuously register new voters on a regular basis and get them involved in politics. Voting is a wonderful way of changing things in this country. Oh, and I also served my country by enlisting in the US Army. Any other questions?
I was born and raised here. This is my community and I will continue to help make it better. Old timers who still insist on "honoring" racists should step aside. Millennials will be the new city leaders.
Thank you for demeaning a whole generation Mr. Millennial.
DeleteLooks like this guy is already working on his push card. Wonder what office he was "called to run for"?
DeleteThe only racist here is Antonio Castillo. He and his 3 man P.C. Police brigade are trying to find racism where there is none. Great searching, Magoo!
DeleteWomen also support this cause. It's more than being PC. Why do you want to keep Brownsville in the past?
DeleteSupport real issues -- and you will be taken seriously and find more support. No one is trying to keep Brownsville in the past. Please try to gain an understanding of how diverse the historical community in Brownsville is. Find a place that will accept the stone and go from there. I'm sure the CoB and BHA would work with this small group of people if they can raise the money to do it. ~ Javier R. Garcia
Delete"Craig Stone has done more for the community than this pre-pubescent pipsqueak blogger and Antonio Castillo combined."
ReplyDeleteBrownsville Bright was created as a way to help the community. As I just started in January, there is no way to compare my near non-existent list of accomplishments and good deeds to Stone's extensive list. However, while I will always support progressive movements and present myself positively, Stone has dropped the ball by supporting inaccurate history while employed at a museum and fighting to keep a racist monument. It was time for Brownsville citizens to see the person he is.
for a person who want to "present himself positively" you should do talk very negatively, how does that saying go "Intelligent people talk about ideas, smart people talk about events and dumb people talk about other people" or something like that, maybe stop focusing your argument around a person and present your ideas...
DeletePeople: Craig Stone, James Wells, Eugene Fernandez
DeleteEvents: Confederate "Heroes" Day and LACK of an official Martin Luther King Day
Ideas: Respect for all races, intolerance of bigotry, educating the public on history, and overall city progress.
I do hope to bring about positivity, and that includes diffusing the negativity others support.
James Wells, don't you mean Mills. Wow! What kinda J-classes are they offering you UTB washouts at Kaplan? Tell me Juanito did you want to get into Journalism because you actually finished reading a paper once or are you really just so desperate for people to talk to you? Do I need to ask these in multiple choice with an answer key? a.) Yes b.) No
DeleteHe was thinking of James Wells, the Frankenstein monster created by Stephen Powers who became a major power broker of the Democrats and underhandedly stole land from people. That's what these upstart community activist assholes should be looking into if they want to be taken seriously and make a real contribution or difference to how the local history was written.
DeleteInformed Observer: I apologize for that name slip. I had just finished reading something for class, and the name "Wells" was in my head.
DeleteAlso, attacking the person does nothing for your argument. Keep it civil.
KBRO: In time, I want to acquaint myself with people who know more about how this city works. When that time comes, I'll do what I can to fix [insert x problem here.]
I will admit that I am just a curious young man who wants to report on things that will benefit our city, and I may not be aware of EVERYTHING right now. I hope to only improve at this.
"upstart community activist assholes" - thanks for the compliment! BTW we can work on different issues at the same time.
DeleteLike what other issues, Sammy? Looks to me that you are all one trick ponies. Why don't you go back to whatever high school or middle school you go to.
DeleteI get it you were reading your bank statement from Wells Fargo full of the Government bennies that we give you to study for a decade until you're forced to get a temp job.
DeleteAttacking the person takes your argument nowhere, anon. And aren't we all forced to get a job at some point?
DeleteMy point is that college kids are entitled little shits that want everything handed to them. Also, I wasn't forced to have a job. I've been gainfully employed since high school and I worked my way through college. If you want the monument moved, get your ass moving and have a legitimate petition that real Brownsville voters sign. Until then, shut the fuck up and learn how to be a productive member of society. Not a freeloader with too much time on their hands.
DeleteYou do you, anon. I'm learning and doing. Stay bright!
DeleteRacists? This city is run by hispanics, and hispanics make up 95% of the population. If anybody feels racism in Browntown, it's the few white people you see from time to time at the farmers' market. Who gives a shit about a monument? If you can't see it from your house, find something else to butt hurt about. Every city entity is embezzling the citizens blind, and nobody cares. The streets are fucked, traffic is fucked, city planning and infrastructure is fucked, city ordinances are fucked, the ISD is fucked, the discourteous people suck, and instead of being offended by the scumbags at fault, there is butt hurting about a stupid monument that nobody even knew was there. It's funny how Brownsville is honored when Hollywood comes to town for filming. Brownsville is flattered by the misconception that it is because of our historic nature. Bullshit, they come here to film scenes that can be portrayed as shitty Mexican ejidos. It's a slap in the face. Brownsville isn't the place where we grew up anymore, and not for the better. Wake up! The city looks like shit and the whole city needs either a paint job or demolition. Where are the ordinances and enforcement that prevent idiots & half-assers from making a town look so shitty. It's ridiculous. Imagine what visitors must expect of our city when they fly into the turd of a terminal at the Brownsville Airport. They surely have there expectations met when they travel down Boca Chica, or to 48 towards the island. What a shit hole of decrepit homemade plywood signs, expired potholed asphalt parking lots, dirtbag looking businesses, and gutters of garbage along streets where traffic doesn't even flow. It gives visitors a good look. Thank goodness that downtown isn't on the way to anywhere, anymore. A whole city where EVERY light is out of sequence with the next one, stopping traffic at every light and creating a 3 light cycle wait to get 100 yards down the road. Flying out of our airport departure terminal confirms the experience and disappointment with one more insult to injury on the way out of town. The city looks like shit and we have every city entity stealing Brownsville blind and patting themselves on the back. What a shit hole we have made of what nature intended to be one of the most beautiful places in Texas. Now our city is entertaining speculation building for future business. How about we clean up the damn mess before we waste money on empty buildings in developments that only pass under the table money to opportunistic thieves. Shame, shame, shame.
ReplyDeleteDo you actually believe anybody in their right mind even read your first sentence? I mean, what were you, DRUNK?
DeleteAbe.
Hispanics are not racists? LOL Some Hispanics hate their history so much that they support racism against their own people..
DeleteI hope to cover the issues you mentioned and more as I continue my blogging career. For now, this monument is a major concern.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Historic Brownsville - where SOME people think history means saving a dilapidated building where children were brutally murdered and OTHERS want to remove a historic marker rock because one new family to town is offended by it. and look at this guy - new blogger -- calling monument a "major concern" -- gtfo LoL
ReplyDeleteExplain.
DeleteIt's self-explanatory of you've been paying attention to local history issues and non-issues under the guise of historical interest. Most people talking about the rock have no love for our local history. They just wanna move sh*t around to make themselves feel like they can do something with their lives without making a difference. Panochas
DeleteIt's been moved before, so its historical "integrity" has already been altered. Moving it to the museum would help educate more people, especially those who are now curious about it. It may even help with attendance.
DeleteBHA has plenty of attendance, why don't we leave it in Washington Park so the Museum can bolster the park's attendance by holding tours of Historic Washington Park.
DeleteMr Castillo has a very inaccurate view of history, which is disturbing for someone involved with education. His rant over the monument and his attack on Mr Stone are both completely unjustified and serve as prime examples of ignorance run wild. Perhaps a new monument can be erected in honor of Mr Castillo: just a large, plain rock without plaques or any etchings to exemplify the stubborn nothingness of Mr Castillo's argument. Those that have the same take can go bang their heads on it until some sense kicks in.
ReplyDeleteNothingness? Actually his argument is very real & actually something that decisions to move such objects are being upheld in courts across the country.
DeleteUpset about that? I'm thinking that you would've been the first one with the whip back in the day.
His argument is long on emotion and way short on fact. Moving monuments is political candy for lawmakers pandering for the favor of uninformed noisemakers. And YOUR ridiculous assumption of how I might handle a whip is an example of the root problem.
DeleteBronsbil EstaciΓ³n is a joke. You've gradually turned a great idea into right wing propaganda. Your ass-kissing to Confederate sympathizers is quite obvious.
ReplyDeleteBlack Commentator has an article on the racism and extremism of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.blackcommentator.com/526/526_confederacy_sebesta_guest_share.html
White people and Hispanics never leave Brownsville and never deal with racism are also the first ones to defend racism.
ReplyDeletePlease stop showing your ignorance, its embarrassing. Go out into the real world and than come back and tell me that a "historic" marker that reminds people of the racism they still have to deal with every single god damn day is "no big deal."
And btw, in case you didn't know, its possible to care about multiple issues at the same time.
Stone and his buddies are offspring of traitors to the United States of America. These "good ole boys" choose to continue to honor their treacherous heritage until the day they die. Somebody please tell them that if the South tries to rise again, THEY WILL LOSE AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteAnd, some people posting here didn't pay enough attention in history class. You would've learned that the marker should've never been there. Yes, it's already 2016 and it's a shame that we have to drag humanity forward. However, this won't be the first time that Brownsville residents are late to catch up to the times. Wasn't the last battle fought here in Brownsville AFTER the Civil War had already ended? Stop being intellectually lazy. Stop sympathizing with the racists. Some of you need to wake up and evolve. Please, let's start trying to be on the right side of history.
Oh really? Who gets to decide the right side of history? Seems to me the "right side of history" is rewriting history in order to appease some interest group (usually Social Justice Warriors) that everyone believes and believed just like they do. Fucking liberals. Let's vote Trump and deport 'em all!
DeleteSelf-loathing Hispanics sure know how to express themselves. Good luck with that, Misinformed Observer.
Delete"It's [current year]!!!"
DeleteWhat we have here is a little band of Chicano wannabe's looking to stir shit up. It's that simple but they haven't sprung that word yet because Chicano is still a dirty word for a dirty Mexican wanting revenge for being called a "dirty Mexican" when they left the valley one day.
ReplyDeleteChicano wannabes? No. They sound like intelligent young Americans who care about all ethnic groups and genders. You're stuck in the 1960s Mr. Garcia.
DeleteYou never had to leave the Valley to hear "dirty Mexican".
DeleteKBRO , stop trying so hard.......the "Asshole of the month" award is in the bag. You never cease to amaze as to your level of ignorance , go away please !
ReplyDeleteYou first.
DeleteSelf proclaimed "Bright" of Brownsville -- get jobs. The more I point out how ridiculous your little protest is the angrier the haters/troll of Brownsville get. Anonymous pussies
ReplyDeletePussies? I feel sorry for your mother, sisters, wife, and daughters if you have any.
DeleteI feel sorry for rock nuts
DeleteI apologize. I didn't know there were ladies present on what used to be Jim Barton's stag party blog.
DeleteSexist comments only bring your reputation down. You need to learn how to communicate without insulting those you oppose, k bro?
DeleteI apologized to her Juan. I am positive she doesn't need you to help defend her from my opposition. I said what I wanted to about the stone. As far as my reputation goes -- people can say what they want. That doesn't bother me at all. Those who know me know me. Javier G
DeleteAnonymous pussies? Aren't you going by KBRO? Use your real name, old man.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteI'm not white but I do agree whites are a minority in Brownsville. All of us have people in our own history who are kind of embarassing.
ReplyDeletePart of me that recognizes these confederate lovers as harmless goofball history geeks. But some of the comments from them have shown clear undertones of, if not outright racism. Hard to say. Is the stone overtly in your face racist, like flying a Confederate flag over the capitol? No, it's just an old monument. But some people view it as inappropriate and upsetting, right in the middle of a public park.
I'd say move it to a more appropriate place, where it fits in the context of its history. The Palo Alto or Resaca de la Palma battlefields would be an idea, since Jefferson Davis did fight in the Mexican American war, albeit not in brownsville.
It could be an opportunity to debate the idea of the "Lost Cause" beliefs, the Southern version of the rebellion. Seen in such movies as Gone With the Wind and in literature. Jefferson Davis was a central figure in the "Lost Cause" ideology, with one of the largest funerals ever seen at that time. The "Lost Cause of the Confederacy" romanticized the old South, explaining the South's secession as humble men fighting for states rights instead of slavery, kindly slave owners looking out for the wellbeing of their slaves, archetypes of the noble farmer veteran bravely defending his home from Union intruders, and the pale southern belle. Not saying I agree with it, it was the narrative of the time, and Jefferson Davis one of the stars of the sad story, the 'doomed widower fighting for his home against overwhelming odds'."
The Internet has brought about some positive contributions to American life, but blogs like this are not among them. Ignorance, hate, distortion and lies are the hallmark of this awful places. There was a time in American when civility and moderation in speech were considered the social norm. Truth was a public value and outright character assassination was rejected as unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteThese days, vulgarity, trash talk and insult seem to be the norm of the culture. What a pity!
Eugene's family helped the Confederates. This is why he believes in keeping the memorial at the park. Are we going to finding something on you too, Mr. Garcia? https://gregstake.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/eugene-fernandez/
ReplyDeleteBrownsville's self-proclaimed "Brightest" and "highly educated" resort to character assassination to gain support for their cause? Not once have any of you offered a solution or plan to work with the city or confederate rock lovers. Try to ruin me -- and I'll let karma do its work.
DeleteGreat job, Sammy! I see you can use Google. Congratulations! I'm glad that your B.I.S.D/GED education is paying off. Gene is a highly respected historian who with little help helped save and preserve the Old City Cemetery. Gene is a crusader for Brownsville History. You are a bratty little child who cries when you don't get your way. The monument's staying. Get over it. Character assassinating just makes you look like sour grapes. Go back to doing nothing like your whole lazy, entitled generation.
DeleteMr. Garcia, why is it character assassination? If you have ties to this white supremacist entity, why brag about it? It was a dark period in our time. Romanticizing this era doesn't help our nation. A simple solution or compromise is to move it to the museum. It stays in the city and it no longer is now viewed as a learning tool, not a shrine. These Confederate groups can continue having their celebrations there. These solutions have already been mentioned by others.
ReplyDeleteTYPO -- It stays in the city and is now viewed as a learning tool, not a shrine. These Confederate groups can continue having their celebrations there.
ReplyDeleteThe day I have to defend my character from the lowest forms of leeches found in our society and lower blogshere is the day I will leave Brownsville, Texas.
ReplyDeleteI think I know the real problem here, since BAM closed down the children have no shrine to poor music to visit. If it opens back up they'll forget all about perceived racism.
ReplyDeletetear it down
ReplyDeleteAlright stop it everybody!!! Stop F---ing fighting already!!! Just leave things the way they were! Everything was peaceful till you all started this Rock thing! The Rock bothers you so much, well don't look at it! Don't go near it! Just like you do with people and things you don't like. Don't go stirring up things where there is already peace, just cause you don't like something! VIVA LA PAZ!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you stop it. We want peace too, but that monument is a shrine to war and warmongers. We're fighting to honor all the people who have suffered because of the brutality that that shrine represents. I believe in a world where racism shouldn't be glorified and tacitly endorsed by a city body. Why should my generation be unable to enjoy all of Brownsville simply because we spoke up. We refuse to be silent, we want change now.
ReplyDeleteStop what? I'm not the one stirring up things. I'm all about peace! That's why I'm saying to stop making an issue of something that was never an issue here in Brownsville. You guys seem to be the ones jumping on everyone's case.
DeleteAs a member of the Brownsville Historical Association I know these people that want to keep this rock, and they are not bad people, like you all make them out to be. They are not out there in white gowns lynching people, or burning crosses. They are merely people who like and want to preserve history in Brownsville, or want to pay tribute to their ancestors.
Your generation is not the only generation living in Brownsville, so learn to share it and coexist. VIVA LA PAZ!!!
If you're all for peace then join me in moving this hateful monument. Why does the Brownsville Historical Association want to give a vehicle for racism and neo-confederate ideologies? I'm shocked that the museum is so supportive of a group that supports secession. This group wants to bring us back in time to their idealized version of a past where rich white men subjugated and oppressed women and minorities. I can't believe the museum supports this racist reinterpretation of history. I think the director of the museum should publicly denounce this. This has gotten out of hand, we cannot glorify racism in any form. The museum needs to change its stance on this now. This is 2016 not 1861, we're better than this.
Delete*sound of crickets*
ReplyDeleteRacist says "what". ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that these white washed HI-spanic wannabe "Sons of The Confederacy" defend the Jefferson Davis monument when NOSOTROS have NOTHING in common with those who do not look like NOSOTROS, involved in "preserving" their white racist cultural "heritage" which HIS-storically included the "preservation of Black slavery"!
ReplyDeleteAs I saw the names of the Board of Directors and it did not surprise me how the white Southern Texas slave state gringo membership influence is in the mix among this said entity.
It also does not surprise me how those HI-spanics on the Board have become their gringo white slave masters "useful idiots" to help "them" preserve this white trailer parKKK trash Jefferson Davis "monument"!
Too bad I am not residing back in my native "El Ramireno" in Brownsville, because I would be right on board to help destroy EVERY vestige that "represents" the Confederacy!
If it was up to me..., I would strongly advocate to make that monument into fine grained rock to spread it out for pot hole city street fillings!
