Question about the statues

[miketx]

Why the mad rush under Trump to take them all down?

If the Nazis hadn't come to Charlottesville and killed someone, there would not be a rush.

No nazis killed anyone in Charlottesville. Some guy being assaulted by antifa thugs hit a woman trying to escape them.

FAKE NEWS

No, I saw it on video. It really happened.

infowars is a false flag.

I don't visit that site.

If these statues are so offensive, why didn't Obama take them down? Or Bush? Or Clinton?

Why were statues still being erected a hundred years after the war?

The north stopped erecting statues twenty years after the war and they actually won

Off topic as usual. If the statues are so offensive why didn't they get taken down under other presidents?

What makes you think the Federal Government has the authority to tell the States and Cities what memorials they must allow or disallow? They don't.

They can't wait to lose the next election.

The statues are being taken down by those with the legal authority to decide their fate.

In the exceptions to that, the lawbreakers should be appropriately punished.

“United States troops took over the state government and reinstated the usurpers but the national election in November 1876 recognized white supremacy and gave us our state. McEnery and Penn, having been elected governor and lieutenant governor by the white people, were duly installed by the overthrow of the carpetbag government, ousting the usurpers Gov. Kellogg (white) and Lt. Gov. Antoine (colored).”

By the 1970s, however, New Orleans and the nation were changing. In 1974 the plaque below was placed nearby the monument, though many in the city wished that the monument itself would simply go away.
