Statue of John Lewis to replace Confederate Monument

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

We do not have monuments to those who enslaved people in Asia or Africa

Yes we do. There are monuments to historical figures from every continent in America. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you make a detailed informed response. Most of your posts are one or two liners.

And the point stands either way … slavery was an institutionalized way of life hundreds of years ago all over the world. You have no moral argument here to pick on the USA or CSA bc of slavery

The absolute hypocrisy of the radical left today. Are they calling for destruction of statues of slave owners from Africa??? nope

You will never win this argument, Black people owned slaves. You can’t even respond to it with any kind of logical point other than your mindless one or two line posts

We should do this with all Confederate Monuments
Replace them with monuments to Civil Rights leaders and monuments honoring the struggles of slaves

A statue honoring civil rights hero and US Congressman John Lewis is being unveiled Saturday outside of Atlanta, replacing a Confederate monument that had stood there for more than a century.

Renowned Jamaican sculptor Basil Watson created the statue, coined the John Lewis Memorial. It was installed August 16 in Decatur Square in front of the Historic Decatur Courthouse.

The protestors spurred on by the Democrats will deface that statue too. It is just a matter of time.

Actually, a continuing problem with statues and monuments to Civil Rights in the south is they get shot at, defaced and destroyed by Rednecks

I sure as hell do

Every American has a moral obligation to be offended by our history of slavery

wow, I wonder if they did this from a distance or just gave up and moved closer to the target (10 ft) then fired. Then realized that they ran out of bullets. No problem just drive home and get more. Make a quick stop at the ammo store only to realize that they would have to come back tomorrow.

I am not talking about rednecks. I am talking about Antifa and BLM. They respect nothing.

Replace the statues of brave and honorable men with the statues of criminals . Yep, like George Floyd and Michael Brown.

That's what happens when the descendants of those men grow to be soft cuckolds in their own country and prey to Jamaican immigrants.

Just make his statue and put it somewhere.

Appropriate Meeting Place for Drug Deals and Gangsta Conferences

Does not change the fact Floyd and Brown were both criminal lowlifes.

Those aren't facts you Moron, those are called opinions. You not knowing the difference is hella fucking hilarious!

God Damn you're stupid.

A history unworthy of being honored

It is a history to be remembered as a glaring example of man’s inhumanity to man

Your Race Treason Is Sympathy for Simians

 

[Muhammed]

You know who John Lewis is.

He's the bastard who tried to rescind American civil rights.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Confederacy tried to break away from the union because they really wanted to keep the slaves they own.

All men are created equal except when people are owned by other people.

That is honorable to some.

Retroactive Justification

The race that daily proves that it has no respect for the property of others thereby proves that it deserved to become the property of others.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

You never heard of John Lewis?

Led Lunch Counter protests
Participated in Freedom Rides where he was visciously attacked
Led the March in Selma where police beat him unconscious
Spoke before Dr King at the March on Washington

What Did All Those Touchy-Feely Performances Lead To?

 

[rightwinger]

Every town that has a monument to the Confederacy should be required to put up memorials to the victims of slavery

This is what the Confederacy was about

Begging for the respect of people who don't give a shit about having yours is a fitting end for you hilarious cuckolds.

Lost Cause Rhetoric

I say the Confederate monuments should stay where they are. It is destroying history. Also those Confederate flags should fly high in the south. It is our heritage and our history. Removing them allows history to repeat itself.

Slaves were 40 percent of the population of the Confederacy

That is your heritage
