“Descended from Virginia’s best blood, Judge (Nathaniel Beverly) Tucker…” Gravestone, Bruton
“Descended from Virginia’s best blood, Judge (Nathaniel Beverly) Tucker…” Gravestone, Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, ole Virginny, 2002.Frankly I find the statement rather offensive but typical of the pseudo aristocratic airs of FFV (”First Families of ole Virginny,” - full disclosure on my mother’s side I am descended from FFV). This is evidence, as if more was needed, of the contempt that the “aristocracy” has for “white trash,” an attitude going back to colonial times, of the racial and, in this case social class, divides that are festering in the current election season. -- source link
