Taking down Jim Crow statues is not rewriting history.
I am going to go out on a limb and guess that many of the folks supporting Jim Crow statues cheered when Saddam Hussein's statue was toppled.

I've never seen a statue of Jim Crow
As in Jim Crow era, when almost all of the statues went up.
I know what Jim Crow is... I'm 72 years old and have a Masters degree. The point I was trying to make is that these statues are not a manifestation of national pride as much as a reminder of what we must never do again. If these idiots are allowed to rewrite history, where are the reminders? Are we supposed to learn from teachers with IQ's of 15? Like I said- those that don't learn history are doomed to repeat it. I don't expect you to understand this- you're probably young and a product of the American Indoctrinational System.
That is simply not true. You are entirely glossing over why Confederate statues were erected. They were erected by people who were proud that their ancestors fought to preserve slavery.
If 61 is young in your eyes, I'm young. Otherwise, not so much.
I'm not talking about why they were erected... I'm talking about why they have historical importance now. If you don't get that, please don't respond again. My Uncle Arthur told me never argue with a stupid person- you'll never change their mind.
Historical importance? Oh please.
Let me guess. A few years from now when people in Cuba start removing statues of Che Guevara, you'll be arguing that they should remain because of their historical importance?
it's a waste of time to argue with leftists.
their dishonesty, combined with their pollution of public institutions and their subversion of law, pretty much guarantees a civil war
we'll clean up their mess then, but it will cost us
I muted the idiot... all he did was prove my Uncle Arthur was right! I wish they'd hurry up with the civil war- I ain't getting any younger and I'd like to get a couple of shots off!!!
By the way... I've got some good photos of a Confederate monument that I'm afraid to post- I don't want any bullshit assholes coming here to fuck with them... Then I'd definitely get some shots off!
