"A statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that was a focal point of a deadly white nationalist protest in 2017 has been melted down and will be repurposed into new works of art. The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, a Charlottesville-based Black history museum, said Thursday that the statue had been destroyed. The Charlottesville City Council voted in 2021 to donate the statue to the heritage center, after it proposed a Swords into Plowshares project that would melt the statue and repurpose it into “public art that expresses the City’s values of inclusivity and racial justice,” according to the proposal submitted to the city."

As Elon Musk seems to imply, the melting down of this statue is basically white genocide....they (whoever they are) wants the extinction of white people or at the very least, white Confederates. However, if this is the case, why would anyone think they are the target of "white genocide" today if the Confederacy hasn't existed for 150 plus years....who would these "Confederates" be today? and why would a statue being melted down trigger them to the point that they believe they are the target of genocide?

If black folks being systematically murdered BY THE STATE for years (even after the end of the Civil War) didn't constitute genocide, how the fuck would melting down a piece of metal be even remotely close to something considered genocide?

Humans have been killing each other for a multitude of reasons for tens of thousands of years and you need Elon to tell you all bout it?

Lee did manage to kill a hell of a lot of white folks.

Elon Musk is a white supremacist and anti-semite.

More of a greenish birdpoop color.

I am sure they pay a black man to polish it occasionally.

It's damn impolite if nothing else. I'd have taken it for my backyard. Cudda hung lights from it, put a dress on it, peed on it with my dog, ricocheted tennis balls of it fer the dog to chase, ranted blame at it over my incompetent city govt, put a bird house on his hat, put in in front of my golf practice net, let the kudzu and asiatic jasmine cover it, burnt off the weeds with my butane torch, hung a sign on it "loser," ...... the possibilities were endless. )-:

Not any more.

They should use the bronze and have a bronze chopper competition, like the internet had with knifemakers recently.

And now that poor black man lost his job. Probably had gummit benefits too.

No, it's a sign that both liberals and conservatives can be dangerously Talibanic.

And, of course, one of the most infamous examples of this mentality…

It's actually a sign of insanity. I especially like the protestors who break their hands and feet, punching and kicking the statues. Squad members in the making. MAGA

If they can get rid of the memorials they can get rid of the memory. Then the event can be erased.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”​

Lee has been dead for over 150 year.

Elon Muskrat is a nutter.

It was build as a monument to racism in the 1920's during the Black Pogroms in America.

Likely no. But the Kalergi plan (which won't work) is the prototype. You have to remember Biff that whites, especially with blue/green eyes, are huge global minority. We are exotic, you are not. We're special.

Yep. The important similarities are between the Taliban and us for tearing down statues. Not the Taliban and Confederates use of religion to excuse their deplorable enslavement of others...

"Us" as in both conservative and liberal attacks on art and expression, yes.

Not the Taliban and Confederates use of religion to excuse their deplorable enslavement of others...

Whoopsie - goalposts moved.

The discussion pertains to the destruction of art/expression, not religion and enslavement excused thereby.
