Yes, good point, where does it stop? As someone pointed out before, does that mean Mount Rushmore, the Washington monument, the Jefferson Monument, Monticello razed?
Unrequitted white guilt means no line will be drawn in the sand. More desperate measures will be taken to stop this insanity, much to the nation’s detriment.
They need to locate this guy and dig up his grave.
“Did You Know the First Legal Slave Owner in America Was a Black Man?”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3303713/posts
Here’s something you won’t read about in the US history books. The first legal slave owner in America was black and he owned white slaves.
Anthony Johnson (BC 1600 – 1670) was an Angolan who achieved freedom in the early 17th century Colony of Virginia.
Johnson was captured in his native Angola by an enemy tribe and sold to Arab (Muslim) slave traders. He was eventually sold as an indentured servant to a merchant working for the Virginia Company.
Sometime after 1635, Antonio and Mary gained their freedom from indenture. Antonio changed his name to Anthony Johnson.
In 1651 Anthony Johnson owned 250 acres, and the services of four white and one black indentured servants. The black indentured servant John Casor (Casar, Cazarao and Corsala) demanded that Johnson release him after his seven years of indenture.
In March of 1654, according to Delmarva Settlers, Anthony’s servant, a man named John Casar requested that Johnson release him from his indenture because it had long expired past the usual seven years. Johnson replied that he knew of no indenture and that Casar was to be his servant for life. Anthony Johnson’s neighbors, George and Robert Parker, stated that they knew of another indenture for the said Casar to a planter on the other side of the bay.
ISIS does this. In Iraq, they destroy historic artifacts and all evidence of persons and events contrary to their own.
This stuff must be stopped, or the South will in war again!

CONFEDERATE Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines that fought in the Civil War were made U.S. Veterans by Act Of Congress in 1957. Reference U.S. Public Law 85-425, Section 410, Approved 23 May 1958.
This made all CONFEDERATE Army, Navy, Marine Veterans equal to U.S. Veterans. Additionally, under U.S. Public Law 810, approved by Congress on 26 Feb 1929, the War Department was directed to erect headstones, and recognize CONFEDERATE grave sites as U.S. War Grave Sites.
After they erase the monuments of which you speak, they’ll next come after any and all vestiges and memorials and recollections of our role in WW2 since the military was segregated and relegated black troops to subservient positions.
