A leading archeologist tweeted instructions on how to safely topple an obelisk as George Floyd protestors in her town toppled a Confederate statue during a demonstration that escalated into unrest. University of Alabama at Birmingham archeologist Sarah Parcak took to Twitter Sunday evening offering details on how to bring an obelisk down as demonstrators in the city's Linn Park defaced a Confederate monument and tore down a statue of Confederate Naval captain Charles Linn Sunday night. A day earlier, protestors in Nashville, Tennessee, toppled a statue of Edward Carmac, a former politician and newspaper publisher who wrote editorials expressing racist views.

Since when did the Washington Monument become a Confederate obelisk? Incidently, when did the Washington Monument become a racist monument?

An anti-history “historian”.

She’s an activist, not a scientist or researcher.

The Birmingham one is kind of interesting. No battles were fought there. No one who served in either Army was from there, let alone anyone that died.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham is a domestic
enemy and needs to be, itself, taken down
because the University of Alabama at Birmingham KNOWINGLY
employs the terrorist Sarah Parcak and her terrorist staff.

Because Washington owned slaves he is not deserving of honor according to today’s politically correct crowd.

Carmack is an example of the the sort of politician who only got a statue of himself built because he got shot and killed. He fired the first shot, and wounded Robin Cooper, but Cooper fired back and killed the Prohibitionist Democrat Carmack.

Ridiculous that there was a statue of him on the capitol grounds in the first place. Won’t be missed.

```
Washington was white, a colonial slave owner and oppressor and so was a racist; the Confederates owned slaves like Washington and were racists: Washington and Confederate were both racists therefore, the “Washington Monument” is a racist monument and must be toppled.

See?

Not cool.

Whether or not statues are to be removed, they shouldn’t be torn down by rioters.
