OK.....Lets keep the Confederate Statues

[Synthaholic]

Oh, for fuck sake. No one is purging anything. You do not have any right to publicly display a statue that is offensive to the majority of that city, that state, this country.

We don't have the right??? Are you serious? This is America ass and we have the right to display anything we want. If it harms your snowflake sensibilities that is your problem. The libs will pay big time for this in 2018.

Not on public owned property you don't.

Grow a brain, moron.

The Cross is offensive................tear it down...............WWI memorial to those who died there......Poor things are offended so easily.

Should we tear down their grave markers as well since some are so offended............hmmm

Who cares what a "Liberal group" wants? Does the town want it gone? Does the state want it gone? They're the ones who represent the citizens.

And that's how it is in Charlottesville - the citizens wanted the statues down.

 

[Synthaholic]

But lets modify them to portray the correct historical context

Lets honor those who created a nation to ensure that blacks would be enslaved forever. That is what the Confederacy was about.......Not Scarlett O'Hara, Not gentlemen fighting for a noble cause, not a cool flag to fly on your pickup truck

Let's take down with anything that has to do with MLK, he was a homophobe, and a adulter. I mean if your consistent you should.

You equate being a homophobe with owning other human beings and forcing them to do hard labor?

You're such a stupid shit.

Who is still worthy to be on Mount Rushmore..................The fanatics must decide........This monument has people on it that owned slaves....

It's about treason over slavery. Dumbfuck.

 

[Synthaholic]

Stone Mountain..........Historical carving.........they have tried to destroy this as well..............Are they so offended that we should tear the whole mountain down..................

 

[Synthaholic]

The monuments don't represent history, they represent celebrating the confederacy and ignoring the realty of their crimes.

Plus, why should we celebrate losers?

Yep, fuck them.

Words of tyrants...............those who don't agree with you............fuck them..........

No, the words of the winners.

 

[Synthaholic]

Do you want to erase history...............

There's not a single statue of Adolph Hitler in Germany and they haven't erased history. Everyone knows who Hitler was.

 

[Synthaholic]

If somebody has the time, they should spray paint homophobe on all of Martin Luther king Jr.'s memorials. Just saying, I won't do it because I obey the law.

But you're fine with the law being broken by someone who is not a coward like you, correct?

 

[Synthaholic]

well go ahead...I think it will hurt the democrat party in the end.

Your concern for the fate of the Democratic Party is very moving.

We don't live in Germany, Germans get to decide about German things, we get to decide about American things, but if we are smart we wont make any moves while caught up in group madness.

And if think it's cruel for me suggest waiting 50 years, you need to remember that the Fed Govt itself promoted racial division and segregation for another 100 years after the Civil War.

But not 100 years of chains, forced labor, shitty living conditions and nasty, un-nutritious food, right?

The rest of what you posted is fake history.

 

[Synthaholic]

It's a full on ISIS style PURGE because you whining babies got not interest in fixing America's real problems.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time. But no, we're not going to just roll over and let the Republicans and Trump enact their agenda. They're only interested in furthering the interests of the billionaires.

 

[bripat9643]

What's failed here is your recognition that the GOVT Fed State Locals -- do NOT have clean hands on this stupid indignation about THEIR history...

Nice pet peeve...but it has nothing to do with the statue of Robert E Lee that was erected around the same time 50,000 KKK members marched on Washington DC and Fred Trump was arrested at a Klan Rally in NY.

/----/ Again with this shit? Fred Trump was released and no charges were filed. Why do you always forget to include that tidbit?

I stated fact. He was arrested at a Klan rally in the 20s. (Like this statue was erected in the 20s)

So? He was immediately released and no charges field. Sounds like you just want to throw mud at the Trump family.

If you see mud, that's on you. I stated a simple fact. The Klan was particularly active in the 20s. So active that Fred Trump got arrested at a klan rally.

How do we know none of your ancestors went to a Klan rally?

But lets modify them to portray the correct historical context

Then lets keep the old Confederacy and simply ship all the Negros up north. Problem solved.

 

[Synthaholic]

RW and others keep stating they are only targeting statues they feel where built in response to civil rights.

Bullshit. They all must go.

Actually, we do, so long as it's not a crucifix.

 

[Synthaholic]

However, they should not destroy the carving on Stone Mountain. That shit be art.

I agree. I used to live there and it's really an impressive work of art. Certainly not in the same category as a statue, which can be erected intact anywhere in the world.

So if it's a work of art, it's OK if it's a representation of a slave owner?

I agree, you can't move it and preserve it elsewhere.

Nope. Only some politicians wanted them down. They never asked the citizens.
