They touch any Columbus statues in NYC or try to change Columbus Circle’s name, a LOT of Staten Islanders and folks from Bay Ridge will be there.

And we’re not faggot metrosexuals from Manhattan.

All you do is take the “non FR” position and argue it on every single thread.

Where do I disagree with you on the removal of these monuments?

And if we agree, how can we argue?

Today I decided my garden gnomes were pissing me off and offending me. I went out and tore them down and spit on them as I was cussing foul words at them.

How about Malcolm X? There was an overt racist, who openly advocated black supremacy and death to whites. Yet, he gets a pass. Here are some of his beliefs: that black people are the original people of the world that white people are "devils" that blacks are superior to whites that the demise of the white race is imminent Malcolm X called MLK a chump. “Thoughtful white people know they are inferior to black people. Anyone who has studied the genetic phase of biology knows that white is considered recessive and black is considered dominant. When you want strong coffee, you ask for black coffee. If you want it light, you want it weak, integrated with white milk. Just like these Negroes who weaken themselves and their race by this integrating and intermixing with whites. If you want bread with no nutritional value, you ask for white bread. All the good that was in it has been bleached out of it, and it will constipate you. If you want pure flour, you ask for dark flour, whole-wheat flour. If you want pure sugar, you want dark sugar.” ― Malcolm X The left loves to make proclamations about what is racist, but they are very selective about who they apply it to. Fellow lefties get a pass. Not just blacks, but white lefties, too. LBJ, Byrd, etc.

>>if you think they will stop at this. YOU BETTER THINK ABOUT IT.

As someone commented on another thread, it’s going to be really difficult dynamiting two of the busts at Mt. Rushmore while leaving the other two in place.

These people are so dumbed down and illiterate, and can’t/don’t read books, it is their version of book burning (credit to Lionel).

I was barefoot, but I tied a rope around their necks and dragged ‘em around a bit. Not putting up with their BS anymore.

Where are the Hollywood types defending the Arts?

Where are the Historians decrying the destruction of history?

Where are the pols decrying “the rule of the mob?

(Yeah, I know they never were serious people in the first place)

There were 2 million Union soldiers and 800,000 Confederate. The boys in gray were mostly poor illiterate farmers - many conscripted. Most soldiers were not slave owners (if a southerner owned 15 or more slaves they were exempt from serving) and were more concerned about their family and fields than politics. The statues need to stay because people need to know what happened. People need to put themselves in my g-g-grandmothers’ shoes - her brothers fought for the Confederacy while her husband died for the Union.

If we could just get people to pause and think...
