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.

Gumdrop: "Most counties in the USA which are outside of a major large metro area went 60-70% for Trump.
That includes most of the Minnesota counties as well.
People who do not live in large metro areas regardless of state highly favored Donald Trump."

Just so everybody is clear on who exactly are our red = reliably Republican fRiends:

Near as I can tell, only Oklahoma & Alaska had no blue counties and only Vermont, Massachusetts & Hawaii no red counties.

Perfect; when it is private property the owner can do as he/she pleases.

I lived in Germany for 3 years.
European rural villages have some crazy, often UN PC monuments and art works. They never dismantle them because they dislike that part of their history. They are preserved. Often the locals design festivals around them and have great fun reenacting said un PC history.

Americans are fools to destroy their own history. Both good and bad needs preservation. Rewriting history should be left to the North Koreans.

“You’re kind of stupid, aren’t you?”

Why is that?

Comparing a bunch of murderous, misogynist,7th. century religious nihilists to people who take offense at a statue venerating treasonous slave holders?

Many of the Founding Fathers were “slave holders”. Statues of Washington and Jefferson must really get you and your SJW buddies all worked up. You are in the wrong forum, boy.

Um, let me inform you of something and please understand that I appreciate the fact you couldn’t know this at first: I’m not a liberal. I’m a conservative. I voted for Trump. Got it Reb? And by the way stupid, your side lost the war. Helped in no small way by one of my ancestors.

Get Over It.

A stance that can just as easily be taken by the Union supporters in Kentucky and elsewhere opposed to the monument. The North won. The Confederacy lost. Get over it.
