A work crew began to dismantle a Confederate monument in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, the mayor said, in the latest move to take down or relocate symbols of the slaveholding Southern Confederacy from the American Civil War.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer in a pair of messages on Twitter showed photos of figures that had been removed from the monument.
[snip]Students and staff members at the University of Louisville had said the memorial condoned slavery.

It would be nice if angry black racist would admit their so called champion, Abraham Lincoln among others were favoring colonizing blacks from this country to the Caribbean and or back to Africa. They believed the negro would have a difficulty assimilating into the country.
Anyone heard of Monrovia? How bout Liberia?

Most folks have no clue that white slaves outnumbered black slaves at one point in America.
The revisionist progressives have been successful in the rewrite of American history.
While I am generally opposed to attempts like this to just erase history in obedience to political correctness, if they’re going to do it anyway then I think they should create a Museum of the History of the Democratic Party, and fill it with artifacts of the practice of slavery, the KKK, etc. It is their history.
We should efface the name of Robert Byrd from bridges, buildings, parks and highways throughout West Virginia.
It isn't easy being sane, Winston. Now, repeat the Party slogan about the past. Good. But you must also keep in mind the dangers of cultural appropriation. 
It’s big city Liberals in Louisville and Lexington (college town) doing things like this. The state went strongly for Trump. I happened to be in KY on election day visiting family (I had early voted). The county I was in went 62% for Trump.
The Hutu majority in Rwanda massacred approximately a million Tutsi’s as recently as the 1990’s. Black on black genocide....and the United States sat by and allowed it to happen. Where oh where was the outrage?
No way is that a photograph of anyone involved.
“I’ve always been torn on the issue of the Confederate flag and monuments to the Confederacy.”
Democrats put them up in the later 20th century in opposition to civil rights for black Americans.
Democrats. Allies of Roosevelt and Kennedy and Truman did it.
Democrats put them up.
I’m a descendent of multiple Confederate Veterans and that Southron stuff is idiocy and Marxist crap.
Okay, fine, you can stay. We’ll just kick Louisville and Lexington out of the country.
That’s the ticket; good for them! Was it on public land, and was the land sold as well? That is a legal angle the “progressives” work any time they have a chance; here in NJ a shore town founded by Protestants decades ago had to stop offering weddings in a gazebo they owned because it was on public land (they wouldn’t “marry” homosexual perverts).
The Lincoln Memorial statue of Lincoln has two true fascist symbols on it. Wonder when it will be torn down.
As someone who lived in Louisville from 1968 through 2003, this is a shame. But Louisville has turned all blue, one of the several reasons I left.
Trump got 65% of the vote on Nov 8. Click on KY and look at the county-by-county map here: http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/president
The only blue areas are Louisville and Lexington, the two most populous areas.

The freebe eating areas.

Looks more like a masonic phallic.

What’s up with that?
Are the RATs ashamed of their legacy and afraid the public will find out?
the huge Confederate flag at the intersection of I4 and I75 in Brandon FL is another location where the land is privately owned. All the lickspittles and pretenders have tried to get it erdiacted but it still stands. Its a huge flag, sometimes that of the Confederate state and sometimes that of the Confederate battle flag. Literally thousands of passing vehicles see it every day.
