Why Is There Controversy Over Confederate Monuments?

[Redfish]

Agreed. The problem with racial politics is that, when they win, they lose by virtue of the fact they have nothing left to fight for. Therefore, they must continue to manufacture reasons to generate interest and, of course, funds and donations in which to line their pockets.

Interesting how Conservatives now honor the memory of MLK
When he was alive, they called him a commie, a racial agitator, a criminal
When MLK Day was proposed, conservatives fought against it every step of the way
Now they claim MLK as one of their own

compare MLK with the radical leftists at Berkley. Then lets talk about which side MLK would be on today.

Conservatives opposed MLK his whole life, they put him in jail, harassed his home

Stop trying to claim you supported him

You'r playing games with labels across time periods. DIshonest games.


Was Nixon a conservative?

Nixon was mostly conservative but had liberal views on the environment and civil rights protections. We even had liberal Republucans back then

we need to stop getting hung up on definitions of the past. Today's "liberals" are the radical socialists and Nazis of the past. Right down to blocking freedom of speech and a media that only allows one viewpoint.

Nixon did some good things, so did Kennedy and Johnson. None of those presidents would be included in the liberal democrat party of today

was Robert KKK Byrd a conservative republican? Was George Wallace? Lester Maddox? Bull Conner? Hughey Long?

At the time I did support what King was doing. Peaceful correction of societal wrongs. As usual, you know nothing about which you speak.

They were all staunch CONSERVATIVES

grow the fuck up. but first define conservative in today's terms and the terms of the 1960s, then do the same for liberal.

The racist democrats of the 1960s are carbon copies of the liberal democrats of today. Both hated minorities, and both tried to block free speech. Back then they tried to silence King, today they try to silence anyone who is not a far left socialist.

You keep ducking the real reason they acted the way they did
It had nothing to do with them being Democrats, Democrats in the north did not hold those views
It had everything to do with them being Southerners

They were Conservatives

on race issues they were radical hate filled assholes. on fiscal matters they were liberals. None of those people fit today's definition of conservatives.

But we all understand, you on the left are losing in every aspect of life and you have to continue to create new ways to stir up your hate filled base. We get it, the American voters get it. Even Hillary gets it now.

Nixon was a conservative and supported civil rights protections.


Woodrow Wilson was a huge liberal and a terrible racist.


Your use of labels across centuries is completely dishonest, and as you do it to smear good people, quite vile.

The right wing refuses to accept it is "taps", for their lost clue and their lost Cause.

can you translate that into English? What exactly do you mean by lost clue and lost cause?

 

[CowboyTed]

Its controversial because its an attempt to delete or ignore a part of history that you don't like. People fought and died in the civil war for what they believed (and it was NOT about slavery).

Just because we hold a different set of beliefs today does not make those in the past evil or wrong.

What's next? The Washington monument and the Jefferson memorial in DC? Both were slave owners. Why leave those monuments and take down Robert E Lee?

What's going on in NOLA is our foolish mayor is trying to appease the far left radical base in order to get reelected. It may very well backfire on him, just like it did on his sister Mary.

We cannot learn from the past if we pretend it didn't happen or rewrite it to suit our beliefs of today.

Will removal of the statues reduce crime in the lower 9th ward and central city? Duh, no Mr Mayor. Why not spend that money on hiring more cops? Reducing crime might actually help you get another term.

Germans got rid Adolf Hitler's Road, not many universities named after him either... All he did is want to make a few white people the master race.

We're all southerners racist?
Probably not, but they kept a low profile. Didn't want to upset the peculiar institutions of the south
Didn't want to stand up and be called a n*gger lover. Could affect your job, could get your house or business burnt down. Easier to just go along

 

[rightwinger]

There is only one word to describe those from the south........Terrorists
Not only would they bomb, lynch and burn out those who opposed their racial doctrine, but they formed a government that allowed them to do so

Yeah, look at the price Jimmy Carter paid, for not being racist.

You are so comfortable vilely and falsely smearing good people.

Do you realize that you are the bad guy?

Just another reason why many Americans across the nation don't trust the lying bigots who are the backbone of the Democratic Party.

What else would you call those who bomb, lynch and commit arson or those who protect those who do?

Terrorist
