What will the Talicrats gain by tearing down civil war monuments?

Everyone knows the Southern Racist were Democrats. If you wanted to be in politics in the South, you were a democrat. All that changed starting in 1964 when the coalition of Northern Democrats and Northern Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So that's where we were. Where are we now?

Obama's Resurrected 1960's.

Yeah right, cause race was never a problem or divisive issue until one of them() became president huh?

Many issues had been resolved by the time Obama took office. He ripped open the wounds again, for political purposes.

I grew up in the 60s. These times are an orchestrated reversion to the sentiments of that time, save the fact that the anger is greatly magnified by media.

Many of the same troublemakers of that time, and their political heirs, are conducting things now.

I will agree that the election of a black man as President enraged and emboldened those who opposed him for nothing more than the color of his skin, long before he ever took office. That enraged segment was co-opted for political purposes.

I can see protesting against the draft and the war in Vietnam. I can't see protesting over a statue.

The election of a black man had nothing to do with it, since it was the white man that put him into office. It's a nonsenscal argument. Had he been white he'd have never been the Democrat candidate.

His political intent was from the git-go to stir up chaos and disrupt American society, and that he did.

What is occurring today rests on his shoulders, and those of his party. Pray it doesn't escalate to its potential, because frankly you people don't have the numbers, much less a belief in anything worth fighting for.

"You people" huh?

Something tells me this will be hilarious but --- who exactly is "you people"?

ESL classes are no doubt available in your area. Avail yourself of them.

Do the Troglocrats need even more infamy?

It's all for show and a way to incite the thugs so the fighting will continue. They want as much civil unrest as possible and will find ways to blame it on Trump and the right.

It's crazy. Not a damn thing has changed since the statues and monuments have been destroyed. Nothing has improved after all the assaults, murders and destruction of neighborhoods. Well, people are more divided than ever but nothing good has come of any of it.

Now they are attacking people's names. One college donor had their name removed because their last name was Lynch and the snowflakes were triggered by that.

The latest is an Asian guy named Robert Lee, who has been relieved of his duty as announcer because just hearing the name will cause some more thugs and snowflakes to go off the deep end. It has gotten that damn bad. Way to go, liberals. This is exactly what you want because it's so much easier to push more government control when you divide and conquer.

Oh FUCKING BULLSHIT.

NO statues or monuments have been "destroyed" and no sportscaster was "relieved of his duties".
Your head is up your ass.

Yup, the mantra of the Muslims and the far left. Muslims think total submission is freedom, declaring war on infidels is peace and indoctrination is strength. Funny how the far left is adopting these beliefs.

They launched a war on freedom of speech and have done so by declaring all dissenters as being hate groups. The young college kids are willing to cede liberty for the fucked up liberal version of social justice.

And for the idiot left, yes, ESPN pulled an announcer by the name of Robert Lee because they feared that snowflakes would be offended. And no one wants to deal with destruction, threats, assaults and even murder when little snowflakes lose their shit over words and statues.

Republicans are uber busy rewriting the recent history of racism. Because, you know, they're racist and they sure as hell don't want to take responsibility for their actions. As usual.

Thanks, that was a blast from the past....

Back here on earth though --- you can't refute the points.

>> The Lost Cause campaign offers the definitive example of racial self-deception. Before there was fake news, the Lost Cause propagandists were creating fake history.

Their timing was audacious. They didn't wait years to claim the Civil War wasn't fought over slavery. They started making those claims immediately after the war ended, when the physical and psychological wounds were still raw.

A year after the war ended, Edward Pollard, a Southern newspaper editor, published, "The Lost Cause: A New Southern History of the War of the Confederates." Former Confederate leaders began to amplify Pollard's argument that the war was over state sovereignty, not slavery. Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy, claimed that "slavery was in no way the cause of the conflict." Alexander H. Stephens, the former vice president of the Confederacy, argued the war "was not a contest between the advocates or opponents of that peculiar institution."

Confederate veterans' groups started to spread the myth at reunions. So did storytellers. The Lost Cause was recycled in early 20th century films like D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation," "Gone with the Wind" and Walt Disney's "Song of the South." All recast the antebellum South as a moonlight and magnolia paradise of happy slaves, affectionate slave owners and villainous Yankees.

Why would so many Southerners embrace such a big lie?

Part of it was embarrassment. They had to decontaminate history by recasting what they did as a noble cause, historians say. They also wanted to look good to their children and future generations, Civil War historian Alan T. Nolan wrote in "The Myth of the Lost Cause and Civil War History."

"The Lost Cause was expressly a rationalization, a cover-up," Nolan said.

Not all Confederates bought into the deceit. Historians often cite what one astonished Confederate war hero, John Singleton Mosby, said in 1902 as the Lost Cause myth spread:

"In retrospect, slavery seems such a monstrous thing that some are now trying to prove that slavery was not the cause of the war."

.... "White Northerners came to accept it because their own commitment to black equality was never that deep in the first place," Simpson says. "By the beginning of the 20th century, most white Americans began to believe that the war was over economic differences and state's rights, and that it had nothing to do with the issue of slavery or only tangentially with the issue of slavery." << --- A 19th Century Coverup​
