I have Native American blood (provable, unlike Elizabeth Warren) and I think trying to make unpleasant history disappear into the memory hole is at best bat**** crazy and at worst an extremely poor idea.

The Klan corrupted the flag and it’s cause. If you look at photos of the massive Klan march in DC in 1920’s, they were all carrying the Stars and Stripes, not a CBF to be seen.

Ding ding! There are lots of statues and monuments to tear down if we choose to go down this road. That very much includes Lincoln by the way. Just read 38 Nooses to see how he treated Native Americans.

This really isn’t about erasing ‘history’.

It’s about destroying American Culture and Capitalism............

What about monuments of tribal leaders who committed genocide against neighboring tribes?

While we’re at it. How about the way the Natives treated each other. I guess slavery and total war against women and children are ok if the Natives did it. The Lakota Sioux warred with the Creek, Plains and Blackfeet. In the East, the Iroquois warred with multiple tribes on almost a yearly basis.

Its very interesting how a very small group of motivated radicals with extreme positions can nonetheless impose their will on the majority.

When do I get to be "offended" and decide what needs to be removed from society? Just curious... I mean, if you're waiting for a table at a restaurant they can usually give you some idea of the wait time.

Be forewarned though, I'm a middle-aged white guy. That means I've been around long enough to have come up with a fairly comprehensive list of things I don't like - and of course a number of things I'd like to promote, I'm not by nature a negative person. Now, I've been keeping my list of gripes to myself for the most part, not voicing them to too many people, and certainly not trying to impose my preferences or priorities on anyone else. That's the other thing about being a middle-aged guy - I've been around long enough, and was raised not to be a self-centered little s**t so I actually recognize other people are into other things. There's that saying "different strokes for different folks..." Not sure if my generation coined that or not...

But apparently we're abandoning all pretense of real diversity, tolerance, and simply minding our own business. Just now the so-called "liberals" seem dedicated to imposing their will, agenda, and outlook upon everyone else. So, when's my turn to impose my will libtards? I mean, if you really are all about acceptance and tolerance, then you have to accept, tolerate, even celebrate my views too, right?

Elizabeth Warren, AKA Pocahontas, is bonafide Hunkpoopa Sue ( a related lefty tribe of the Hunkpappa Sioux.)

It is people like her to redefine history and their own genes in order to alter history and achieve liberal fascist historic justice.

When they come to your town , what will you do? Stay home or fight them in the streets?

If we these bastards keep playing, it is going to be all the statues of founding fathers, explorers, and statesmen.
We need start saying “No” and destroying any politicians or judges who try to go counter to this.
