Which of these monuments etc. must be erased and demolished?

[bodecea]

Robert E. Lee monuments must be removed, yet Ulysses S. Grant owned slaves as well. Somehow liberals must have minimal comprehension of their thoughts & actions, so therefore, which of these U.S. leaders must have their monuments etc. removed from all schools, govt. institutions and private entities?

On a side, Washington DC is named for a guy who participated in slavery. The name must be changed to I don't know, Spike Lee DC.

So...your comparison only works if the Lee statue is going to be demolished. Is it?

Remove all monuments that symbolize hate.

Say Lahota, we're going to start with Crazy Horse memorial consistent with your narrative. That okay with you, or is this a common instance where you fail to think things through?

So? Crazy Horse is a Native American hero! What's your point?

Crazy Horse was a Native American war leader of the Oglala Lakota. He took up arms against the U.S. Federal government to fight against encroachments on the territories and way of life of the Lakota people. His most famous actions against the U.S. military included the Fetterman Fight (21 December 1866) and the Battle of the Little Bighorn (25–26 June 1876). He surrendered to U.S. troops under General Crook in May 1877 and was fatally wounded by a military guard, while allegedly[4][5] resisting imprisonment atCamp Robinson in present-day Nebraska. He ranks among the most notable and iconic of Native American tribal members and was honored by the U.S. Postal Service in 1982 with a 13¢ postage stamp that is part of its Great Americans series.[6]

So why did Lincoln and Grant fight to keep them in the union? Why didn't they let all that hate and bigotry go?

Any monument that hate groups want to keep and rally around should be gone immediately, see, that was easy. The swastika was once a symbol that meant happy things like good luck and prosperity but the Nazis changed it forever. If the symbols of the confederacy ever meant anything good they are now permanently tainted by how they have been used.

I read any monument snowflakes flake over should be removed. In other terms, it's free-flowing and narrative capturing.

Oh look, let's go after Roosevelt as well. According to you, it's a monument hate groups want to keep, because you're cause and effect challenged and you project. Take down 'racist' Theodore Roosevelt statue, activists tell New York museum

Perhaps all statues of Martin Luther King should be removed, he was a Race Baiter, a friend of Communists and he had a thing for forcing himself sexually on women.

Why would people want statues of someone like him to remain standing?

Who didn't see THIS coming?

You can have whatever monuments that your community is okay with. That's how majority works.

Taking down a monument is not a violation of your rights. The constitution does not protect against hurt feelings of racists.

Get it?

If you live in one of these places, run for city counsel. Bring your qualification and get off your ass and do something.

Demolish this monument now!

You mean allow the nation to be divided into two nations while allowing the southern hate to continue festering and enslaving people?

For good or bad,monuments are History.




By the way....ISIS also destroys statues. SICK! TOTALLY SICK!

These monuments were only ever allowed so that the confederate soldiers would not feel they fought and died for nothing and perhaps start another rebellion. The last one of them died before most of us were even born. Their original purpose has been served. All they are now are symbols of antiquated concepts that deserve no monuments in the public spaces and only the minimum of forbearance in our national discourse.

Yes symbols, to remind us of what man will do to keep a way of life & profit that he is use to having. do you see the irony ?

Why would you want the southern states if they are just haters and slave owners?

I think I see what you are saying but these monuments are not needed to illustrate a cautionary tale from the past any more than they are needed to glorify the past. We can all now read and need no stone or bronze to teach what is more easily said in print. I am remarkably unsentimental about idolizing history in stone and bronze. Public statuary should be primarily artistic rather than political.

Not until all monuments are destroyed.
Not until all "historical" plaques are destroyed.
Not until all buildings which bear anyone's name.
Not until every street named for anyone is torn up.
Not util every middlesex, village, town, city, metro-area named for anyone are nuked.
Not until then can liberal umbrage takers be satisfied.
But, wait, they won't want to destroy anything named for some candy-ass liberal.
At which time there can be no peace until all liberals are destroyed.

 

[HenryBHough]

Two?

Why?

I mean, why so many?

With a little effort all liberals might be terminated and America would be ONE nation again.

I assume that the OP , by pretending that this thread is about monuments, is actually justifying the NAZIs, and White Supremacists in NC. How sad, yet, how disgusting..
