Never underestimate the power of massive numbers of STUPID people who have been manipulated into ignorant, violent action...
The Great Awokening: The Year of Stupid | National Review
ITEM:
"In Washington, D.C., working with the loud backing of leading public intellectuals who claim Abraham Lincoln and other Republicans did nothing to free the slaves, a mob of the historically challenged gather around a statue commemorating emancipation that was universally understood as a moving symbol of the liberation of black America until ten minutes ago, before the super-spreading of the stupidity virus.
Protesters at the Emancipation Memorial have for days threatened to give Lincoln and a freed slave the Saddam Hussein treatment and drag them off the plinth they’ve shared for 144 years.
Over the weekend, a young woman yelling at a pitch that would cause a dog’s eardrums to explode screeched, “Why are you protecting it?” The calm and historically literate older black gentleman at whom the question was directed patiently asked, “Who paid for it?”
-- The answer to his question was, of course, “freed slaves.”
But she didn’t know, so she hopped around as though suffering a full-body case of Jimmy legs and screamed, “Why are you fighting me?”
A black woman with a keen interest in local history, Marcia Cole, pointed out on a local news program that the slave depicted in the statue “is not kneeling on two knees with his head bowed. He is in the act of getting up. And his head is up, not bowed, because he’s looking forward to a future of freedom.” Instead of looking up he’ll soon be looking at the bottom of a river bed or a ditch if the mob gets its wish, as today’s mobs usually do."
The artist's INTENT was a statue depicting a FREED slave getting up off of his knees, his head raised high, and looking towards a future of freedom and promise.....
Oh yeah, but wait - libtard politicians have declared 'intentions' don't matter. Only the perception of racists, anartchists, and, of course, STUPID PEOPLE matters...

Has any people’s uprising ever been as moronic as the Great Awokening?
