ns to take down Confederate statues

[JakeStarkey]

jc456 is talking about the conservatives who owned slaves and killed people who opposed it.

I'm surprised to hear these monuments are still in place. And the university of Mississippi took down their state flag because because it includes the confederate emblem.

New Orleans to take down Confederate statues


Trucks arrived to begin removing the first memorial, one that commemorates whites who tried to topple a biracial post-Civil War government in New Orleans, around 1:25 a.m. in an attempt to avoid disruption from supporters who want the monuments to stay, some of whom city officials said have made death threats.

Yep, the real American Taliban, trying to erase all history that doesn't comport to their ideology. Simply pathetic.

And by 'erase' you mean moving a monument that commemorated the battle by White Nationalists and the deaths of New Orleans policemen- to be displayed somewhere more appropriately- like with the KKK paraphenalia....

That's not all their doing and you know it. It's dems trying to rewrite and erase their own history.

Germany manages not to forget WWII without statues of Hitler.

Germany only allows a one sided view of history concerning WWll

If a German citizen publicly questions certain aspects of the war. They are subject to a heavy fine and a long prison sentence. .....

Yes, lol, the poor Nazis never get their due! They had good reasons to do what they di...Sorry I can't do this with a straight face. The Germans have preserved many of the sites where the Nazis practiced their atrocities where any German or tourist can visit.They don't run or hide from any history. They put it front and center and say "this was goddamn hideous, let's never forget this and never allow it to happen again".

All across the south the various states put up monuments to their Confederate patriots as an F'U to the north and to blacks. They've stood this long but it's time for this nonsense to end once and for all. Put all that garbage in a historical building where it can collect dust and be forgotten.

And lets not forget its also:
The white people trying to rewrite and erase their own history
The Christians trying to rewrite and erase their own history
The Southerners trying to rewrite and erase their own history
The Conservatives trying to rewrite and erase their own history.

I understand that it pisses you off that New Orleans will no longer have a monument celebrating the killing of policemen.

Like I said, that's not the only one, they are removing 4 in total. Another example, commies in Houston renamed schools because they were named after former confederates, even though one contributed to the cities success after the war and over current citizens objections. Typical regressive attitude, they know better than anyone.
HISD approves name changes for seven schools

Now how about you provide some examples for your claims.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The removal of New Orleans’ monument to the Battle of Liberty Place under the cover of darkness early Monday morning marks a turning point in the nearly two-year-old debate over the fate of four Jim Crow-era statues.

Three other monuments targeted by Mayor Mitch Landrieu — memorializing Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard and Confederate President Jefferson Davis — also are scheduled to come down, though the timing and other details of the removal are closely guarded secrets.

The dismantling of the Liberty Place obelisk came hours before a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by groups seeking to keep the four monuments in place. The case had held up the removal for more than a year before judges on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled recently that the city could proceed with its plans.

Of the four, the Liberty Place monument was widely seen as the most objectionable, and Landrieu explicitly described it that way. The 1891 monument commemorated a violent 1874 uprising by a local militia known as the White League, which fought with members of New Orleans’ biracial police force as it ousted the state’s "carpetbagger" Reconstruction-era government for several days before President Ulysses S. Grant sent in federal troops.

A plaque later added to the monument noted the failure of the rebellion but cast it as a part of re-establishing white supremacy in the state.

Removing New Orleans' Liberty Place monuments means city moving to 'place of healing,' Mitch Landrieu says

The Liberty Place one is the only one I can see as reasonable to remove.

The others are from the Civil War itself, and part of the conclusion of that war was the healing of both sides, and of both sides to be able to honor those who fought for them.

It's part of erasing our history. The left is the American Taliban. This is not surprising.

Now the A. Lincoln memorial needs to be removed from DC. Fair and balanced. That A-Ho started the bloodiest war we've fought and instigated the murder of civilians.
ALL the carpetbaggers deserved to be hung. .

Wrong.
He ordered an invasion of a peaceful neighboring Nation
He freed his troops to commit countless war crimes (including the naval bombardment of NYC).
He was the original bloody American imperialist. We need a memorial to John Wilkes Booth.

It wasn't a "peaceful neighboring nation" you nut job. It was a rebel territory who were threatening to split our country so they didn't lose their precious slave labor.

He was also responsible for this country's barbiturate by addiction as well as set the standard on how to fuck over an American veteran. Yeah, pissing on the foot of the Abe Lincoln monument is on the bucket list for sure.

You can tell you're doing the right thing if you have to sneak out in the middle of the night to do it.

Wrong again. The United States had already split and a new Nation had been formed.
Lincoln wanted to enslave Blacks AND Whites and he pulled it off.

The nation was already split in the minds of the South maybe lol. Lincoln basically said - if you want to ruin our country you'll have to fight for it. Newsflash: They lost that fight.

You're a big fan of participation trophies all of the sudden?
