Hmmmm. So, if "we're" gonna erase history, then I suggest we also erase any trace of slavery since it's so offensive. And, demand repayment for transportation and housing costs that were undertaken all those years ago. With interest. I mean if we're gonna be absurd then by golly let's take it all the way.

“‘Take ‘Em Down Nola’ stormed New Orleans’ Andrew Jackson monument demanding all monuments related to the Civil War come down across the city”

And they picked the one that had nothing to do with the civil war?

Like I was expecting these guys to be history buffs anyway...

A Black Lives Matter-aligned organization called ‘Take ‘Em Down Nola’ stormed New Orleans’ Andrew Jackson monument demanding all monuments related to the Civil War come down across the city.

Andrew Jackson:

Lived: Mar 15, 1767 - Jun 08, 1845 (age 78)

What's missing here? One would think a protest against Civil War Monuments would centralize itself in a place that was connected with it.

How about the Joan of Arc Equestrian statue? She wasn’t Civil War but she once smacked a whore across her rear end with a sword. Don’t whore lives matter?

LOL, oh yes, that great Civil War villain, Andrew Jackson. Wasn't he the guy who led the March to the Sea, burning Atlanta along the way? He was advised by the Roman Cicero, and his lieutenant, Hannibal, used his elephants to cross the Smokey Mountains.

Ah, history!

They think they have a magic formula, with the feds not enforcing anti-riot laws: instead of burning our own hoods, let's go out to where whitey lives and works, and disrupt them there.

But at the end, they need to ponder, how much food grows in their zip code? What will they eat when (not if) the EBT system implodes, and the markets are all looted?

So it was peaceful apart from the jumping of barracades, throwing of paint balloons, foul mouthed chanting, and an altercation leading to arrest.

There are actually a LOT of statutes of people I have questions about their validity in history. What if the people of lighter pigment wanted to cut down any statutes of Martin Luther King,.... Or maybe some of us don’t like stories of Michale Jackson or Elvis Presley... But HEY, it is part of the history, and history is full of shame, hurt, sorrow and idenity. LEAVE the statutes, all of them, POINT to the man and tell your children what an awful person he was. MOVE ON...

Yeah! Andrew Jackson doing all that Confederate shizzle in the Civil War...

I knew Old Hickory was physically tough and didn't scare worth a damn, but being in the Civil War fifteeen years after his death? THAT is bad-ass.

I was wondering, is there a General Butler monument there? Put a General Honore monument up, “You people must be stuck on stupid.”

Who Is Doing the Community Organizing for Black Lives Matter Spectacle?

Not many Black Lives Matter morons would have the initiative to get a poster printed. But it's no mystery where they get the signs that they jab in the air as they chant "What do we want? Dead cops!" The supplier is printed right across the bottom: revcom.us .

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

'Rev' is for revolutionary.
'Com' is for communist
.

Revcom.us bills itself as "the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA." The explicit objective is to overthrow our constitutional republic and replace it with an oligarchical collectivist dictatorship along the lines of North Korea and the Soviet Union.

Why would advocates of a communist police state agitate against the police? Because as leftists used to admit openly, the issue is never the issue. This isn't about the police, any more than it is about blacks. It is about destabilizing the system so as to create opportunities to weaken it and eventually overthrow it.

That's what community organizing boils down to. These people have taken over the executive branch of the federal government; why would they stop there?

The next hill they take will be federal control of local police. After that, things will start to get scary.

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

*********************************************************

The 1992 LA/Rodney King riots were instigated by the Revolutionary Communist Party...

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Andrew Jackson, from his childhood, bore on his face the scar from a British officers saber. I believe he’d come to the defense of his older brother. He developed a lifelong hatred for the British. When the British returned to “their colonies” to wrap up the pesky matter of the course colonial ruffians revolt, they ran smack dab into a now grown up Andrew Jackson. If it hadn’t been for his stand at the Battle Of New Orleans (and his vow that no Brit “would spend a night on American soil”) we would probably still have slavery in this land. He was also a duelist. If the BLM folk would like to remove the statue to their new American African American American Museum in DC, I support the motion.

Whites, Western History & our culture are under attack. There is only one way to stop this but it remains to be seen if White Westerners still have it in them to protect our heritage and in fact protect us?

If they want to protest Andrew Jackson they should abandon the Democratic Party of which he was a founder.

It would be all too easy to look at these incidents and conclude that someone’s trying to start a race war, but I think it’s bigger than that.

I think Soros, Obama, and their fellow travelers, are actually trying to start a civil war between the left and right, in order to burn this nation to the ground.

The destruction of the United States is their entire goal. Note well, that every single thing Obama has said and done since coming to office, has injured this country in some way or another.

The record is clear. There isn’t one solitary thing this man has done as president that has improved the lot of the American people. Not one. That’s because it is his singular goal to destroy this country from the most powerful position in our government.

BLM are simply pawns and useful idiots who are being used to light the match that will set the country on fire.

Time to destroy BLM and in a permanent way. Good reason for Trump to make sure Getmo is reopened and plant this bunch of rotter criminals there. Let them rot forever.

Trump for President.
