I'm afraid we'll be seeing a lot more of this and who can blame them? White supremacists have gotten away with their crimes for so long, no wonder people are fed up.

White supremacists have been knocking down black statutes? Interesting.

Just think of that statue as a predominately Black church.

I used to be Amused, now I am disgusted and frustrated. What happened to America? Liberals or conservatives, we used to listen to each other and be tolerant. Really, 50 years ago. Now we need a flame board and have road rage because we have become so hateful and mean.It wasn't always this way. This factionalism has to end . Unite.

It's a cycle. I think we are now on the downside of one and about to hit bottom. Over the next 2-5 years, after a few ultra-violent incidents, "We, the People" will start advancing upwards again on a new cycle of growth and reason. It's been that way throughout our history. IMHO, the cycle is over 50-70 years, hence why most people don't recall it since it is longer than most have been alive or will live.

I HOPE SO. I live with people that seem obvious to history, perfectly brainwashed scary liberals zombies that dumb down history and blame whites all the time. The rest of us aren't seeing it and are disillusioned and feel disconnected. Sorry but liberalism needs to reexamine itself.

Many confederate statues went up during the fight over civil rights .. long after the Civil War.

Nice revisionist history. The Robert E. Lee statue was commissioned in 1917. A long time before the Civil Rights movement.

Got a link to back up your historical assertion?

The monumental figurative sculpture of Robert Edward Lee is the second of four works commissioned from members of the National Sculpture Society by philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire and the last of three he gave to the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, during the years 1919 to 1924. McIntire wished to make a place worthy of the likeness of the most distinguished Confederate general when, on 28 May 1917, he purchased as a setting for the sculpture, a city block of 45,435 square feet bounded by Jefferson and Market Streets and by First and Second Streets NE.1 Over the next year he demolished the 1829 Southall-Venable home on the site and created a formal landscaped square, now known as Lee Park, which was the first of four parks he eventually gave to Charlottesville. Today, wide concrete walkways lead into the park at each comer and along First Street, and they converge on a central plaza where boxwood, Japanese holly, and lemon balm surround the heroic-sized bronze figures of Lee and his horse, Traveller, atop their oval-shaped granite pedestal.

1917 was 52 years after the Civil War.

Some things are less valuable. Like them types of materials.

Rather than..
KKK.ALT-RW are pro---

Ahhh, good. Ramp up the hate. How many white men do you think should be lynched to make everything equal?

So, your immature belief is that since Dylan Roof the moron shot some folk at a church these morons are justified in tearing down a completely unrelated statue?

 

[Bush92]

For the terrorists that tore down statue...

 

[VictoryIsMine]

AT LEAST 650K white men died to end slavery in this country 150 years ago, meanwhile in predominantly black and brown countries around the world slavery is still quite common, yet these morons are mad at WHITE people in THIS country. Go figure.

No. I just thought that a simple compare and contrast excerise wouldn't help you understand the precarious and untenable position you are creeping toward. That is siding with White Supremacists.

If you think I am even close to precariously siding with the white supremacists it is simply because that is what you want to see, I have posting nothing that would lead a rational person to believe that is the case. I simply won't stand by and listen to "those people are justified in their behavior because of what others have done"

For all black hangings, alone? Or for all whitey on good black people crimes
from say 1620 til 2017?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

No tolerance for offending colors

I'm guessing they are either stupid or young, most likely young since they know very little of the past from reading it and haven't lived it. Those of us who lived through the Sixties, the riots and the fears of WWIII, have a better sense of what is important and what is not.

 

[Yarddog]

Tearing down statues...

inciting riots

assault with deadly weapons


what next?

book burning?

What kind of books will Antifa target?

Boycotting museums, theatres?

are the moved statues safe even inside?

They don't mind censoring as long as they are the ones doing the censoring.

You tell me. How many murders of innocent Americans would atone your blood lust?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I find trucks pimped out by Mexicans very offensive. Wide ass tiny wheels lowered to the ground. WTF is that bullshit? Put a couch in the back and end up dragging a bumper. That is no way to treat a truck & highly offensive.

Time to forcibly remove those asinine wheels! You want a lowrider? Buy a fucking BigWheel

Good to see you can do simple math. Now tell me how many years before the Civil Rights Act it was.
