I'm surprised there are any left up in Richmond.

Get rid of that looser and put up a statue of the winner PDJT

I hope somebody from Richmond will look into the lives of those persons who are dead set to destroy our history and turn this country into Orwell’s 1984.

The liberal busybodies can "recommend" what they want, state law doesn't allow its removal.

Mayor Stoney invokes Jim Crow while he extends the Richmond tradition of electing Black mayors. Oh the irony. I used to love living in Richmond, but now can’t wait for the day (2 years) when I leave.

Stupid fools don’t know they are stupid fools.

"vestiges of Jim Crow live with us..."

AND what political party is affiliated with that?

Alex, I'll take 'What is the DNC' for $100.

It would be far better to remove anyone who wants to remove the statue.

May I recommend Venezuela as a cheery destination for them to relocate to.

None have been removed in Virginia. Charlottsville came up with the same thing. They haven’t been able to remove them. Plus the judge ruled recently that not only can the council be held liabel, but the individuals on their council can as well. The commission means nothing.

Mayor Stoney should look in the mirror and simply ask, “Who has run/ruined Richmond for the past 100 years?”

If he answers “Democrats”, then he is being honest. If he says “racists” without saying “Democrats, then he is half honest.

If he says nothing, then he knows he’s a coward.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

What a disgusting piece of sh*t.

In all the periodic stories about Monument Avenue, I have never seen one in which the views of residents along the avenue itself, or in the surrounding neighborhood, are consulted. Monument Avenue is one of the most beautiful streets in America. The lefties would be happy to destroy it in the name of virtue signaling and as an exercise in bullying for its own sake. Gotta show who's boss, etc. But if you polled residents of the avenue itself, I'll bet 90 percent-plus would strongly favor keeping it intact. The figure will be less than 100 percent only because Monument Avenue is close enough to VCU to have a student infestation.

The City of Richmond is 50 percent black. The Richmond metro area is two thirds white and about 30 percent black. The city has some ugly dog-in-the-manger politics, with a racialist faction that is always looking for issues around which to mobilize and that is willing to trash the place in the name of vengeance. Add white liberals to the mix and it's a dangerous combination.

Troublemakers really love style over substance, don’t they.
