These were built by slaves. Why havent we torn them down yet?

They were holding blood sacrifices and mass murdering people here. Why havent they been torn down?

1) Confederate statues were made by slaves?

2) Confederate statues are not being destroyed (torn down). Not one. You wanna buy one?

Who Built the Pyramids? — NOVA | PBS

The Debunker: Did Slaves Build the Pyramids?

 

[Bob Blaylock]

When the law required that statutes honoring Hitler and the swastika were taken down and banned from being used....do you think the Germans forgot their History of Hitler?

I don't think they did?

There certainly is some irony in watching the Germans, in shame over their Nazi past, and in an effort to distance themselves from it, acting like Nazis by brutally censoring symbols and expressions associated with Naziism. I think they've missed an important point. So have those on the left wrong in this country.

If we have to explain to you stupid Moon Bats why it is good to honor those courageous Americans heroes that fought against the filthy ass Federal government then you will never understand.

Yes those statues bring back for republicans those good ol days of racism and slavery

 

[MarkDuffy]

I have to ask wether this movement to remove statues and symbols is an effort to pull us together as a nation? or to pull up apart? Anything as major as a civil war takes time to heal. like any wound you get a scab and the more you pick at it, the longer it takes to heal. Now the way I see it, the Union won, the Confederacy lost, but Lincoln and some in the Union recognized the necessity to heal the wounds. So they did not charge Lee as a traitor. After all,
what was more important?

Seems to me the left here has forgotten a very important lesson that people knew about over 150 years ago. The South as the losers of the conflict were allowed I suppose to hang on to some symbols because those men were their brothers or fathers, and maybe now, great great grandfathers, but whatever. Those things that they still hang onto are like the scab of the wound. Now we get these leftists who never fought in that civill war didnt have to go through what those men went through and now they want to rip off a piece of the scab, or maybe twist the knife a bit just for fun. Of course then you will get some RW looneys to become violent and over react, commit crimes. But the fact is , our nation hasn't healed yet.

Technically, they may be right in removing these statues, but the reality of what they are doing is something quite different, also because they are not just going to stop there, it will be right down the line with everything the left finds offensive. Sometimes, even though you may be right in one aspect, you need to act a bit wiser for the good of everyone, not just the special interest groups.

Perhaps you should ask how that statute came to be and when, and what other statutes were put up along with it. And then perhaps you will gain a clue as to what the statue represents to various groups.

I mean, at least twice a month, the pseudocons on this forum start topics to tell us that Confederates were racist Democrats and bad, bad, bad people.


So why is the Right defending those statues of evil Democrats? Hmmmm? Why were they sending out of state protesters to Virginia? Hmmmm?


Oftentimes, two pseudocons will start the same kind of topic on the same day. It's almost as if someone is telling all the tards this shit on a Tard Network.


So why is the Right defending a Democrat statue? Why?

History still needs to be looked at thats why. Not erased. It's a concept probably way beyond you and I doubt if it can be explained to you. There are many levels on why retaining symbols of history are important regardless of whether they are good or bad to some people.

When the law required that statutes honoring Hitler and the swastika were taken down and banned from being used....do you think the Germans forgot their History of Hitler?

I don't think they did?

Well Hitler was a one man Megalomaniac, who tried to take over the world and had his own Statues erected. Robert E Lee was just a general. I would say the major differences between the US civil war ( as that was a war between ourselves), and the monster who tried to take over the world count for something in this case.
I dont think R.E. LEE was anything of the dictator Hitler was. Did Lee demand statues of himself put up and banners of his face everywhere? I doubt it very much. If people put statues of Lee up later on, it was quite a different reason than what Hitler had done.
Not a good analogy.

I suppose you are right on that one...!

But these were not statues put up without reason, around 100 years after the fact...no one would have ever thought to put up a Statue like that in commemoration to history and Robert E Lee, when they were close to the 600,000 or so that were killed during it...

they got put up during the 1960's, during one of the greatest civil unrest periods in our History...where Lynchings happened and people of color being kicked out of their seats and every kind of white intimidation was upon them...during John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and Lyndon B Johnson...the civil Rights Act.....

These Statues were put up by the White folk against equality for all, and the Civil rights Amendment and in fear of the colored man voting, and the world changing from a white dominance....and were MEANT to intimidate the colored folk of the time....the way they were cherished and put on tax payer's grounds....

they were all put up in the 60's in the guise of commemorating history but that is not what was happening at the time.

You just post stupid political stuff, and are completely unaware of the latest archeological evidence that shows that the pyramids were not built by slaves:

Pyramids 'not built by slaves'

Great Pyramid tombs unearth 'proof' workers were not slaves

Though they were not slaves, the pyramid builders led a life of hard labour, said Adel Okasha, supervisor of the excavation. Their skeletons have signs of arthritis, and their lower vertebrae point to a life passed in difficulty, he said. "Their bones tell us the story of how hard they worked," Okasha said.

Wildung said the find reinforces the notion that the pyramid builders were free men, ordinary citizens. "But let's not exaggerate here, they lived a short life and tomography skeletal studies show they suffered from bad health, very much likely because of how hard their work was."

The pyramids should be torn down because the working conditions for those constructing the pyramids were not to current OSHA standards.

The song, "Walk like an Egyptian" should be banned and the Bangles should be imprisoned....but just because it sucks.

they definitely were not slaves but I'm thinking that they still might have been in a form of bondage...like an indebted servant here in North America...of sorts.... they did not live with any kind of chains, they had contracts on how long they would have to serve in order to repay their debt and stuff like that....?

I dunno?

Uh ohhh, someone doesnt know the difference between "evidence" and a "fact". Finding buried people automatically means no slaves participated in the building of the pyrimids? Forgive me while i laugh at your silly argument.

for a hundred years, the South did not put up statues commemorating the bloody Civil War and Robert E Lee either....whether it was common sense or a Law, that, I don't know?

1) we aren't the taliban who destroy the history of previous times.

2) Germany left up the death camps as a reminder for future generations as to what socialists are capable of doing to other human beings. Leaving those statues up reminds this country that democrat leaders the past fought a civil war to keep blacks as slaves...we should never forget their past violent racism, and we should always be aware of their current racism, and hate.

and then the civil rights laws were passed and they thought that was the only way to give the finger to decent people.

1) These monuments are built in many cases decades after the war

2) Monuments do not equal death camps converted to museums and this has nothing to do with Democrats erasing their own history. That is so god damned stupid.
