Do people really think tearing down statues is going to make people forget about their ancestors and how they fought for their country?
Do they think tearing down statues will make people think better of them?

 

[Q

UOTE="ace's n 8's, post: 8435556, member: 230357"]What you were taught, and what the 'black commuity' were expected to beleive ...might be 2 different issues.

Dont think for one thin second that ''slaves'' were not taken by gun point in that era.

The life of a slave had no value if the 'slave' rejected the notion of becoming a slave.[/QUOTE]

You comment and photograph and vacuous comeback of the ratbag I include, reminds me of the dysfunctional idiots I had to deal with in out students lounge in college....they thrive on negativity, because that's all they have in life. In the end most of them dropped out. The worst of them were actually thrown out. One spent 4 years failing First Year because she were "too busy with under-graduate student politics" to study, another PhD student was kicked out for not doing any work for 12 months...the one thing they had in common is they are both simply malcontents. The way to fight "Liberals" is not to argue with them.m but just fight for you own point of view.

 

Note the civil war was over slavery and state rights.

 

I know. I know. Who cares. Right?

 

That is true for anyone with strong opinions but little intelligence and learning.

 

Why are Southerners proud of a war they lost to defend an evil institution?

 

They fail to realize that black men also fought in the war .For the same flag hmmmm

 

The reason I find it important is that it's a part of our history. Good or bad. To deny its existence only risks our repeating it. These are historical monuments and should be preserved.

 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the way tyrants have acted since the beginning of time was to put people in chains and force them to work for just enough food to keep them alive. Was there ever a tyrant who didn't have a statue at some time?

Times change and the statues of tyrants always fall.

I may have more Confederate heritage than anyone posting on this page. We can always compare Confederate cock size. Losing Robert E. Lee and P. G. T. Beauregard doesn't bother me in the least. I don't need them to celebrate my heritage.

As for all these people who think being born white should entitle them to some of my heritage, you're welcome to share, but don't be such an asshole about it. Slavery was bad and people had to do bad things to maintain it. That's the plain truth.

The first monument to come down celebrated a domestic terrorist militia that tried to take over the city, which resulted in the death of several New Orleans Policemen. It was honored at the time, but in these enlightened times, domestic terrorism has fallen out of favor.

 

The people have spoken! Thank you to my old home county .

 

It's started quick!

 

Lincoln needed Kentucky to win the Civil War. He needed to win the Civil War to free the slaves.

The War on Sweden: Sweden Erases Own History
by Turning Viking Artifacts into Scrap Metal


The struggle to erase Swedish history, break down Swedish culture and force the Swedes to assimilate into the multicultural globalist phenomenon is going according to plan.


Following the revelations of one of its angry archaeologists, it emerges that the curators of Stockholms Länsmuseum have been ordering the systematic destruction of newly found artifacts from the Iron Age and the Viking period under the guise that it would be too burdensome to process.

Coins, arrow heads, ritual amulets, weapons, jewellery and weights that were kept in the past are now directly dumped into metal recycling bins upon discovery instead of being treasured and displayed.

Following a recent surge in excavations aimed at construction that are occurring all over Sweden, the museum excavators are instructed to recycle unearthed iron elements into scrap metal following the pretext that “it would take too much resources to process, identify and store them.” The findings are usually quickly disposed of in order to make way for construction machines and building workers.

This was kept secret until this week’s declarations by Johan Runer, archaeologist at the said museum. He tried to raise the alarm before but only met indifference from the Liberal Swedish Media. According to Runer, this has been going on since at least 2016 as he recalls the example of an entire human settlement from the Bronze and Iron Age that discretely got levelled to allow road works for Sweden’s E6 motorway to progress. We do not know so far if this practice only incriminates this museum or is part of a greater scale.

Runer explains that the archaeologists cannot themselves auction the findings to the private sector as it would encourage crooks and robbers to then resell the treasure.

 

Curious. How many Hitler statues still stand in Germany?

Confederate statues were put up through the South during Jim Crow. Southerners trying to make themselves feel better by honoring traitors. Nobody is trying to erase the past with the statues removal. You want to learn about the Civil War read a fucking book, visit a museum, grave yard, or battle location.

 

"Martin Luther was against homosexuality /gay marriage
should we take back
the federal holiday named after him and
destroy his statues around the country?

 

If this keeps up, before long there won't be a single statue in America of a Democrat.

 

Let me point out something here. No one is forcing anyone to take down those statues and flags. Sure some are objecting to them and protesting them. But hell I do that all the time and it sure doesn't mean anyone listens to me and does what I say.

These little battles are actually being waged in towns and states all over the country. And it is actually those local and state governments making the decisions. And what many of them are saying is well you know the times they are a chagin'.

 

To the extent that I have an opinion about this I think the statues should come down. It is not an issue I feel strongly about.

I do think this should be left up to local governments. I would oppose a national law requiring the removals.
