Protestors Topple Confederate Monument in North Carolina

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

I'm sure that everyone who supports these statues due to "history" would be ok if Islamic groups or others erected statues to the 9/11 (or other terrorists), right? If you don't support it you're "trying to forget history"?

I'm sure if some Mosque put up a statue of Bin Laden just to "remember" him Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity would be as 100% fine with it as they are with the Confederate monuments.

I'm certain that, being students of history, they would enthusiastically support providing proper historical context to all of these states. Maybe a plaque with the Cornerstone Speech on it?

No one is in a better position to identify things that are worse for black people than segregation than a white conservative.

Hey, they also like to change speeches to say that "the white liberal" was the one standing in the way of equality when it actually was "the white moderate".

Right, because the liberals were so much more eager to support abolition - oh wait, no they weren't. Blacks in the North were still treated horribly and deplorably prior to the Civil War.

I really don't know how to respond to this. Maybe because most abolitionists were white supremacists who wanted to ship freed slaves back to Africa?

Not sure if you're there yet but can't wait until we can say "stop complaining, get a job and get off your social security welfare check!".

Nope 10 years away, pal, and if you think I'm relying on SS to be there or to live on, you're insane.  And the only place you'll find me protesting is on a golf course when I f[inks[ up a 2 foot putt.

Sounds more interesting than a bunch of dumb kids talking about how oppressive the inanimate stone figures are.

Really it's just the mentally ill mindset of that age group, the true "me", selfish generation.
