Kentucky mayor pushes to remove 2 confederate statues in wake of events Virginia

[EvilCat Breath]

Taking the statues down will do what? It's the equivalent of closing his eyes and screaming lalalalala. It isn't going to change any minds. It will make a significant number of people seriously angry and resentful. Who are they going to be resentful against? Anyone they perceive as supporting the removal of the monuments. It's another way of dividing the people.

Good. The white supremacists need to know they are not accepted. They are separate.

Segregation now. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation forever.

Yes Wallace said he would never be "out niggered again", and he wasn't. We all saw how well that worked out for him.

Segregation is working out quite well. Look at any college campus in the country.

It is American history snowflakes, and you idiots are so fkn stupid as you strip away what Freedoms you have in America and to stupid to see that's what you are doing.

And removing the statues that glorify those who tried to destroy the United States is 'stripping away' the Freedoms of who- exactly?

Hopefully, there will be no statues in the future of those who are hell bent on destroying the United States in the present.

You know: Hussain Obama, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Bernie Sanders, John McCain, etc. etc.

LOL- so African Americans, Jews and combat veterans who fought for the United States.

How did you enjoy your protest in Charlottesville?

 

[Syriusly]

How long will it be before the left want the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy arrested, punished, force them not to honor their family members who fought?

You're such a Drama Queen. Calm down. Nazi symbols were removed in Germany. Why should we continue to allow hate symbols in our country.

Also people shouldn't honor confederate family members. They were traitors. You don't see people honoring Nazi family members.

Ohh so pass a law and start rounding up people who honor family members who were confederates.

Why would we act like Conservatives?

Odd that Kentucky has confederate statues.

Odd that pretty much ALL places in America have a Martin Luther King Jr. street, road, avenue, swimming pool, theater, restaurant, school, library, etc.

Even more odd that his most important message of judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin is so blatantly and sadly ignored by everybody.

Recently I visited my old country and saw what I did not think I would see:
The statue raised to honor and celebrate the Soviet Red Army that "liberated"
Hungary.

But then I realized that normal people respect and do not try to change the historical and unchangeable records just to be politically correct..

People throughout the former Iron Curtain country tore down statues honoring their USSR oppressors after the USSR collapsed.

Tearing down statues honoring those who acted on behalf of a government that was doing bad things is not revisionism- it is correcting who should be honored.

I love it that Republicans always try to put up monuments to traitors.

No one loses a war and then puts up statutes to traitors. Most of those statutes were put up during the 60's as a protest to racial equality. It's not like they are hundreds of years old as Republicans would have you believe.

The 13 original states wanted freedom and independence from England.
Those who disagreed were called traitors.

The Confederate states wanted independence from the North.
Those who disagreed were called traitors.

Looks like a country full of traitors all around.

The Americans who revolted against Great Britain- were traitors to Great Britain- and a good thing too.

The Americans who revolted against the United States were traitors to the United States- and removing statues in the United States is perfectly acceptable- if the local community decides to remove them.

It is American history snowflakes, and you idiots are so fkn stupid as you strip away what Freedoms you have in America and to stupid to see that's what you are doing.

And removing the statues that glorify those who tried to destroy the United States is 'stripping away' the Freedoms of who- exactly?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO SCHOOL:

Knowing our own history, or the history of our culture,

Maybe you should do a better job of dancing away from answering the question

And removing the statues that glorify those who tried to destroy the United States is 'stripping away' the Freedoms of who- exactly?

You can't answer that- because removing those statues doesn't take away the freedoms of anyone- it just offends the snowflakes who want to glorify the memory of a lost cause to preserve slavery.

After the end of the civil war, Lincoln and the military leaders knew that if the north did not reach out to reconcile with the south, the divisions in the country would never heal, but fester and poison the nation.

Here we are with leaders that aren't that smart trying for a do over.

Obviously the Mayor of Lexington should be charged with inciting a riot.

The mayor of Lexington, Kentucky, says after the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, he is taking the steps to remove two Confederate-era statues from the lawn of a former courthouse. The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that Mayor Jim Gray said in a statement Saturday he will ask the Lexington-Fayette County Urban County Council at its Tuesday work session

Well, they were going to do it eventually anyway, this thing over the weekend just sped up their decision. I have been away from the internet all day and now see many cities are just going to remove they are going to destroy. This is where a museum centrally located protected by the federal govt may have come in handy. It's too late now.

They were reluctant.

Gainsville, Fl removed one today and returned to daughters of Confederacy.

She supposedly doesn't even live here in the states, don't know why she is concerned. Must be Canadian white supremacists.

Not the plan

After Charlottesville, Mayor Plans To Remove Baltimore's Confederate Monuments

“We have identified cemeteries where confederate soldiers have been buried,” Pugh said in the statement. “Among the identified cemeteries are the Washington Confederate Cemetery in Hagerstown, Maryland and the Point Lookout Confederate Commentary in Scotland, Maryland. We will inquire as to their willingness to accept the monuments and prepare agreements for the transfer.”

the only reason you think that fkd up bs is because you were indoctrinated to think that, brain washed to think that .
Because you are easy to manipulate. The stripping of this nation which is exactly what the Soros globalist elite want.

and if you think we don't need history than you are part of this Country's problem..

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO SCHOOL:

Knowing our own history, or the history of our culture, is important because it helps us to know who we are while molding the future. Being familiar with past events gives us the ability not only to learn from past mistakes but also from the successes. History is a general term, which includes many specialized studies such as military history, music history and film history.

The Facts
According to Edmund Burke, “People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.”

In order to comprehend why things are as they are in the present, whether technology, political systems or music, we must understand how they began and evolved into what they are today.

I agree.

Our history is what it is. We should learn from it. Trying to erase it just to satisfy a bunch of worthless whiners is just sticking our collective head in the sand.

Besides, I'll bet those men whose statues are being ripped down accomplished more than an acre-full of the chronic whiners will ever accomplish. Stop trying to destroy our history.

These stupid colleges are pumping these thoughts into these kids today. History is so important and what has come to the front is how much history was left out during our school years and for decades. It is much worse now what they leave out and teach the kids college included.

If you ever have the chance you should watch --- Hillary's America or America what would we do with out her.

There is so much history that has been left out , for example one little pieces speaks about the blacks who owned slaves ( not everyone knows that let alone believes it). There both good movies by D'nesh Dosouza. not sure if I spelled that right his name that is lol.

Another HUGE problem is that a lot of the kids entering college could truthfully be described as stupid. Even the colleges admit that they have to spend a ton on "remedial" education.

Listen to a lot of the college rioters...I mean, protestors...when they are interviewed they sound like inarticulate idiots. Speaking in ebonics, or eubonics, or whatever the hell it's called. Yo, ax me a question. Lol.... They shouldn't be allowed within a mile of a decent school. They've ruined our local schools, now they're ruining our colleges.

Judging from the inane and ludicrous historical mythology that gets pushed on this board on a daily basis, and then doubled-down on when the actual historical fact is cited, it would appear that for the unwashed history is not "important" at all. They just invent their own.

Quite an accomplishment.
