statues being removed again

[BULLDOG]

taking them down doesnt change history.

Taking them down removes them from the place of honor that they never deserved.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Do you think future Americans will learn about the statues' erection...

TMI. Please, I really don't need to know how excited Jackson got looking at Lee on a horse or vice-versa. Just melt them down, let the city take the proceeds, and done.

 

[BULLDOG]

And it's the way it should be done, by a majority decision (as opposed to being torn down by a mob).

Most confederate statues were put up long after the civil war as a response to the growing civil rights movement of the time. The KKK supported the erection of all of them.

You mean democrats supported putting them up...the KKK lmao...southern dems put those up...tell the truth....

I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Back then, democrats were pretty racist. As always, if you will just point out the current democrats who share the racist views of the democrats back then, I won't vote for them.

Lexington Va., home of VMI and W&L University pretty much has no industrial base and depends on tourism mostly based on tradition and the Civil War. For the better part of 100 years almost everything in Lexington including the hospital has been named after VMI teacher and Civil War general Stonewall Jackson but Jackson's statue is gone and the cemetery has been renamed and Washington&Lee University might be changing it's name. The point is that if Lexington tourism depends on tradition what's going to happen when history and tradition disappear?

Ah. You don't then. You think it's all just political parties. That's the problem.

I know many of the statues in question was pushed by Senator Bird...a long time democrat and KKK member....

Credible list?

Future Americans will learn about the statue removing and will view today's Americans that support this very poorly...today's liberals will be ridiculed for their blindness corruption and fascist like behavior....

Do you think future Americans will learn about the statues' erection...the history behind that?

They won't learn the truth about them...unless we fix our education system and return it back to a pro American education that celebrates the good we do as a nation instead of lying about America like teachers and professors do today....

So this is what you want to base our education system on?

No...I expect truth no matter how unpopular it is on Twitter....

Then why do you listen to all those lying right wingers?

They will find something other than their racist history to make their money from.

Rubbish. It's always the fault of liberals. You're paranoid.
When you talk fascism mention trump and his authoritarianism. Grow up.

No. Math, Science, Reading and writing has worked well for 200 years. Let's stick with that.

A popular statue of the Massachusetts 54th was recently returned to Boston Common.

This memorial was distinct among public commemoration of the American Civil War. While centering the white commander of the war’s first federally-raised regiment of African American men, the piece of art also depicted soldiers marching to wage a war over slavery. It is the first well-known, American civic monument to include dignified representation of Black men. As it was unveiled along Boston Commons in 1897, racist violence and stereotypes continued to inflict harm on Black communities. In contrast, this monument depicts bravery, sacrifice, and the promise of equality. In 1997, this version was cast in bronze by the Saint-Gaudens Memorial and installed here as a testament to its groundbreaking public expression of dignity and resilience.

When Trump sprays graffiti on MLK's face and uses a bulldozer to topple his statue you got a deal....You can ignore the truth but it doesn't make it any less true....we watched liberal fascists in action...you can still find the videos on youtube....

But Trump loves the ones who would do those things. He said they were FINE PEOPLE.

The pigeons are broken hearted now that their pooping statue is gone.

Maybe if enough cars are turned into their new targets, all statues will then be returned to where ever it is that they used to be.

God bless you always!!!

I rest my case.

The rest of the country survives without using their racist past as a cash cow. You don't think the people of Lexington can do the same?

Maybe VMI can survive as a liberal college in uniform but I doubt it. Kind of cruel viewing Civil War history as a "cash cow" but now that you mention it why not bulldoze Gettysburg and build condos?

 

[Resnic]

taking them down doesnt change history.

It creates the idea of "we don't like what happened long before we were even alive so we're going to erase actual history that aren't actually effecting us right because we want to make society and history what we want it to be" instead.

Which is highly fucking dangerous and irresponsible.

 

[skye]

taking them down doesnt change history.

BINGO.

Thank you for that.
