The South isn’t the only place where Confederate monuments still exist.
New Yorkers need only look to Brooklyn — where a plaque honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee has been affixed to a maple tree outside a church for more than 100 years.
It won’t remain there for long, though.

Imagine Washington, D.C. having to be renamed.
Imagine our flag having to be changed.
Imagine our Constitution being nullified.
Yes..., other things...

Maybe we should not allow any to be torn down until folks understand the issues.

Exactly. The overt racism against Whites on university campuses wouldn’t be tolerated for five minutes if it was against another race.

The President said it yesterday. And very wisely, I might add. Loosely quoted: “Washington? Jefferson? Where does it end?”

Booker T Washington and George Washington Carver are two people I think very highly of, what they overcame and accomplished was amazing.

I don’t think “we” are in a position to decide what is or isn’t “allowed”.
To: Svartalfiar
Thanks for the additional thoughts on the topic.
You’re probably right. I am not familiar with all of the dynamics, but you do raise an interesting point that stands a good chance of being totally true.

Exactly!
It’s very clear where this is headed.

Yes Carver was given a “House” name at my sons Classical school
sad that the chick who brought down the confederate statue now has felonies instead of enlightenment of true awesome black thinkers...
To: The Toll
Well, if that’s what you think then you stand idly by as our nation is dismantled.
I don’t think that is wise.
Are you saying these folks have a right to scrub all mention of the Confederacy from our nation, but we have no right to object?

I spent 9 years living about a mile of the George Washington Carver national monument about three miles West of Diamond Grove, Missouri.
Even as a young child, I knew the mistreatment of people based on race was evil. It’s just an innate concept.
It’s evil for universities to vilify Whites as they are today.
They are trying to turn this nation into South Africa.
I had someone tell me this was coming about two decades ago, and I couldn’t see it.
Here it is.

George Washington of Virginia owned slaves.
He has a state named after him.
Perhaps the state needs to change its name to Lenin (they’ve already got the statue).
To: DoughtyOne
No, I am saying that they are telling you that they are scrubbing your history NOW and it doesn’t matter what you think because you won’t DO anything about it.
