Confederate Statues Stand, BLM Plaza Forced to Close

[AZrailwhale]

So, Whites held Blacks in slavery for 243 years, but they didn't hate them? LOL. As far as Black men getting Black women pregnant, most slave children on the plantations were MULATTOS. Meaning they had White fathers.
Yes, Black women have been victims a long time.

And different races have been keeping whites as slaves for several millennia. There are blacks (pimps) keeping whites (hookers) as slaves today.

BLM is a racist group. It should be outlawed.

Wrong.
Whites are members of BLM. The Confederacy WAS racist. So why do people fight for confederate symbols to still stand but claim that BLM must be outlawed?

Al Sharpton is not a true racist. Why? Because prejudice+power is racism. Al Sharpton has no real power.
So, he can't be racist. He can be biased. But, not racist.

That is a bullshit line used by racists to excuse their racist behavior and beliefs.

Why don’t you want statues of democrats displayed for all to see?

The KKK were conservatives.

The purpose of Klan violence was “by force and terror to prevent all political action not in accord with the views of the members, to deprive colored citizens of the right to bear arms and the right of a free ballot, to suppress schools in which colored children were taught, and to reduce the colored people to a condition closely akin to that of slavery.” The Klansmen stated as much: The Klan had been organized for the “killing and whipping and crowding out men from the ballot boxes … to advance the Conservative party and put down the Republican party.”

The KKK didn’t cause the violence against blacks and those who supported them; the violence was already happening. In May of 1866, to provide one example among many, long before the KKK expanded its range beyond Pulaski County, Tennessee, and long before the Klan’s avowed purpose became anything...

I guess symbols of the Confederacy are not divisive. That tells you something about this country. How long will people continue to deny the problem?

Black Lives Matter Plaza Gets Erased—But the Statues of White Supremacists Still Stand​

If they’re so worried about “divisive symbols,” why are Confederate leaders still standing in the Capitol?​

In America, Black life is seen as more dangerous than the most heinous of statues. While Republicans celebrate Confederate generals, segregationists, and genocidal presidents in the nation’s capital, they have successfully erased one of the most prominent modern symbols of racial justice: Black Lives Matter Plaza.

The removal of the mural and renaming of the plaza shows, once again, that Republican lawmakers are more offended by the words "Black Lives Matter" than by the actions of the blatantly terrible men enshrined in bronze and marble throughout Washington, D.C. Their priorities are clear: erase messages of equality, but keep up monuments to white supremacy.

Africans owned many slaves, including white slaves. There’s no logic to your post. It’s based on emotion and that’s about it. The confederates were a part of this country. Many Americans have ancestors who fought for the south.

And for those who talk about this whole thing about the south betraying the union. This is a very complicated issue. Many of the confederates fought for the union at one time. Including Robert Lee. The US Civil War is not the only Civil War in history. It’s a complicated issue and honoring the men and women of both sides is probably the best way to go.

Your ancestors owned slaves, my ancestors owned slaves. Again, just relax man.

I also expect the many statues of people like Christopher Columbus, St. Louis and Andrew Jackson that were decapitated or removed to be rebuilt. Also, any local governments that remove statues should be penalized in someway.

What a horrible tragedy in America history to see those statues destroyed in 2020. It’s like what the Taliban did.

As always, there are many many statues of black African leaders who owned thousands of slaves standing tall all over the world. Those statues should not be taken down. Those were men of history. They were men of their time.

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

Whites were slaves too.

Well, that’s the most important point of all. Slavery was and is a global issue. That negates the entire BLM premise.

Nice try.

 

[Bootstraps]

Whites didn't go through Jim Crow.

And? Trauma and bad history isn't a competition.

 

[Curried Goats]

BLM, is more than just black people that don't like slavers.

The fact that you have to lie to defend them, kind of makes my point for me.

They are filthy commie racist anti-american bastards.

Whatever they are you know what they aren't? Slavers. Slavers can be forgiven but not commie racist anti American bastards.

Now when you argue a BLM protestor is worse than a slaver, whom you can find it in your heart to forgive, how seriously do you imagine I take you or your frail white people?

 

[Curried Goats]

Slaves were valuable property, only an idiot would mistreat them to any degree. It would be like a farmer injuring his oxen or mules. Were slaves mistreated? Of course, no one disputes that, but severe abuse was rare, bad slaves were generally just sold off to worse situations. That was the way slavery always worked all over the world. Unruly slaves that refused to learn to behave eventually wound up in a salt mine or pulling an oar in a galley.

The act of slavery is itself mistreatment you dumb white fucktards.

 

[Frankenstein]

The OP is upset about racist Confederate statues being kept up and BLM Plaza being erased.

Good, be upset just do it in the corner with those books you color in and crayons!

 

[Frankenstein]

Sure. Slavers had nothing but good intentions for their slaves. So says an entire culture of emotionally stunted whites.

You mean the black slavers in Africa who sold their own people? That's what I thought!

 

[sparky]

Confederate leaders were the hero's of the south, exonerated after the war

BLM are domestic terrorists trying to hide behind their phony racist shield

~S~

No, that's what you reflexively reached for to defend your love of white slavers like the soft white Simps that you and your people are.

BLM is just dems laundering money. Back in 2020, when you went online to donate, when you searched "Donate to BLM", you got Act Blue, which is dem fundraisers.

Those statues need to be removed. As to your last sentence, the Confederacy was a nation that declared war against the US and lost. We see no statues of British generals or Kings and queens of England here. So why are we celebrating the memory of a nation that declared war on the United States?

Black Lives Matter is more of a slogan than a group, but racists oppose anything that changes white supremcy.

It wasn’t a slogan that purchased mansions for their personal use. It was your race hustling black supremacists who felt entitled to thievery and grift.

Wrong.

The confederacy is not burning down city blocks. You don’t understand that your BLM heroes are symbols of failure, incompetence and thievery.

The people who celebrate slavers shouldn't be talking about thievery or grift. That's what white America has been doing to black America since it's inception.
