CNN-Thomas Jefferson Memorial Should be Removed

[Mac1958]

You will comply.

The left's lunacy knows no bounds

No truer words.

So, a CNN commentator suggested it. Who gives a shit? I certainly wouldn't support it.

they didn't suggest it. the segment was akin to "so some apologists are trying to throw up the straw man that removing the flag would be like removing the jefferson memorial. please explain why that's batshit insane."

there was no suggestion.

yep. whomever was interviewed before had brought up, off the air, that jefferson owned slaves and yet nobody was calling for the removal of the jefferson memorial, and that therefore anyone calling for the removal of the flag was some sort of hypocrite.

then she asked don lemon if that was a false equivalency. there was no suggestion to remove the memorial.

you have to be a special kind of stupid to believe there was.

It's starting the conversation though, and logically speaking, since Jefferson did own slaves it's practically a guarantee the conversation will begin to take place more and more.

nope. see, that was the point. jefferson wasn't perfect, but he was about more than just slavery. he played a vital roll in the founding of our nation.

the confederate flag is about slavery, bigotry, and treason. that's it.

trying to equate the two is something only slime trying to protect the flag of traitors would do.

Guess we should tear down the Washington Monument and Grant's tomb while we're at it.

The last president who ever owned slaves was, ironically, Ulysses S. Grant, elected in 1868 after he had commanded Union forces to victory over the Confederacy in the war that led to the abolition of slavery. Grant owned a slave named William Jones, whom he freed in 1859. Between 1854 and 1859 Grant worked and lived on an 850-acre farm in Missouri, near St. Louis, that was owned by his father-in-law. Grant’s wife, Julia, also owned slaves, and during Grant’s management of the farm he worked along with one of them, a man named Dan. The farm is now the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, part of the National Park Service.

We'd have to destroy most of our early history and I don't think that is the right thing to do. Everyone had slaves and did wrongs....Should we abolish history? You on the left are sounding anti-education and reality.

Slavery was part of our world and even part of Africa for thousands of years.

The left doesn't abolish history, they do tend to ignore it and rewrite it though.

too funny coming from you. you know that the false equivalency was made by a supporter of the traitor's flag, right?

once again, nobody is actually calling for this to happen. it's a false equivalency put forth by supporters of the traitor's flag.

You know.......after the constant barrage of racism coming from the left since Ferguson, Baltimore, and now this nonsense, it's a bloody miracle that more crackers haven't been randomly capping blacks with more frequency. There is only so much a person can take before they snap. Think any other race would put up with such blatant institutional racism we're seeing by the left and the mainstream media???

Get out the jackhammers. The Stone Mountain Memorial has to be chiseled off pronto. That thing can offend people from over a mile.

Every episode of "Moving On Up" must be destroyed and the network that initially aired the sitcom should be sued for microagressions.

The lead character's name was George JEFFERSON.

Talk about in-your-face racism.
