To: Tell It Right
My point is that EVERY time the subject of the confederacy comes up the first thing and loudest thing that needs to be said is they were the Dims.Which is the same for the KKK, refusing to integrate schools, lynching, Jim Crow, etc. . Republicans do not speak out about this because they are the COMPLICIT Party.

From 1984: A Novel, by George Orwell, published June 8, 1949
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

I can’t wait for the new statues of Biggie and Tupac... I can't wait for the Lincoln Memorial to be replaced with George Floyd sitting on a bench.

The House voted on Tuesday to remove statues honoring Confederate and other white supremacist leaders from public display at the United States Capitol, renewing an effort to rid the seat of American democracy of symbols of rebellion and racism. Highly doubtful that's the reason they are doing it...it's just pure virtue signaling - entirely for personal reasons.

Replace them with LGBT QRSTUVWXYZ flags and statues!

That quote is perfect. The Marxist Deep State are creating a country and people who are shorn of any knowledge of history, values, morals, appreciation of the USA. They live in an endless present of manufactured outrage - perfect putty to destroy anyone or anything on command. >

Everything connected to KKK democrat Robert Byrd needs to be taken down too...
Looks like democrats are finally ashamed of their racist past.
Maybe in a few years they’ll be embarrassed about their thuggy way they’re dealing with conservative Americans...

Since when did Confederate heroes become "White Supremacists"? If this were merely ignorance, it would be one thing. But this is a carefully crafted Big Lie. These were men of their times. By and large they were all good men with compassion for their fellow human beings. None where devils. They weren't born into the Internet age.
All the ignorant history in the world will never produce one physician or nuclear scientist or business executive in the ghetto community. Like the Roma in Europe, the ghetto culture will never assimilate and adopt Western Civilized values. After 400 years and trillions of dollars, nothing has worked.
Does anyone think that it will stop at this? Nothing short of all out race war will please these deranged people.

The stupidity that is taking over is tragic. Erasing history to that its complex lessons won’t be learned with research and critical thinking - or at all. A brave new Western World of untrained, illogical brains, devoid of intellectual curiosity, is well on its way.

"Would it be racist to have LeBron climbing the Washington Monument like King Kong?" Hmmm. Now that's a thought. No, no I think it would be fine. LeBron could easily transition to an acting role with his obvious physical attributes.
