The mayor of New Orleans delivered the “removed” Confederate statues to his buddy’s “museum of slavery” to be put on display and draw tourists to the place. The city still will not reveal who paid to have them removed— nor where they are now. Such is the nature of confirmed lunatics of political correctness.
March 8, 2018, the same anderson “coo,coo” cooper brings up the monuments still remaining in VA on... 60 Minutes. This is an Agenda, and one being put out straight from the Communist Handbook from the 1920s. Use black-white relations and false premises and false history for political/emotional setup. Kamala Harris is a loon— just look at what the lib/commies will do to make sure Elizabeth Warren is not in the running against, this fanatic former AG (whose mentor/boyfriend was/is the criminal black politician Willie Brown— mr. drug cartel). So that provides a window on the finance end of this— it is foreign and illegal.
A quote from at least one SANE individual on the show, which speaks to the end goal as well as the current removal justification: William Cooper, who is now retired after being a professor of history at Louisiana State University for 46 years, says the monuments were put up by real people who had real beliefs and even if today most Americans don’t like those beliefs the monuments remain a part of history and should stay where they are. “One of the things that bothers me most as a historian is what I call ‘presentism,’ judging the past by the present, figuring that we are the only moral people,” he says. Taking monuments down, says Prof. Cooper, is a slippery slope. “Should Mount Vernon be up today? Should we go burn Monticello down tomorrow? Certainly, Thomas Jefferson believed in white supremacy,” he tells Cooper. They are after much more that skin color- they are after our very founding documents, law and sacred Constitution. The new Dialectic (and a commie NYC mayor).
Wow.
KKK lynched 1300 white Republicans, as well as 3500 blacks.

Odd how the liberals never drag out the figures on white lynchings. The KKK had no use for Jews or “n****r loving” whites, either. I imagine they STILL don’t.
i had a delusional democrat tell me that the southern white democrats evolved into the republican party... and he believed it. scary.
Since my family came from the south, I imagine my great grandfathers fought on the side of the confederacy. My feelings are that the confederate soldiers who fought bravely, are to be honored just as the union soldiers who fought bravely, should. Those on both sides, who were sadistic, evil wretches, killing out of hatred, don’t deserve to be honored, any more than the Nazi SS, do. Of course, with a few documented exceptions, we don’t know which were pure evil, and which weren’t. God sorts out those things. The time for recriminations is over. Time to forgive.
Good. Sometimes it didn’t work out that way.
Nearly 3,500 African Americans and 1,300 whites were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968.Curious.
Since the Civil War ended in 1865, I wonder why they started their measurements in 1882? The cynic in me says it was easier to massage the numbers to come out the way their narrative was heading.
But who knows?
Tripe
The democrats and republicans both suck more often than not
It’s about culture war and conservatism not parties
The parties are a failure
Reconstruction radical republicans and 1960s civil rights liberal GOP
You can have em
I actually like David Barton
Not his objective here
South bashing will never endear him to race baiters who detest him and call him christian identity lite
My Father was a perfect example.
He was a Yellow Dog Democrat. For some reason, he loved FDR. He hated Eisenhower with a passion. At least he was consistent in that he hated him during WWII too.
I was really disappointed that he supported LBJ but Jimmy Carter was the catalyst. He voted for Reagan and never looked back.
“According to the NAACP: From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States.”
How many deserved it?
I’ve had enough
If we’re so racist and bad why am I overrun with desperate Yankees fleeing failed states by conservative measures
When you don’t take history in context you fail
See my homepage and posts
I never knew till I came here that there is a cloaked social liberal Zinn Macpherson gang of Jonah Goldbergs and Bitch Lowerys here who detest the south and equate us with Nazis
I try to keep up with who’s who since they are frequently zotted if they stay in the light too long
Anybody here at this state of the game where we may lose our country over racial redress pretty much and continues to harp on old crap none of us had shite to do with and then virtue signal from it
... is suspect
Watch your thread they’ll be here soon enough I think one already is
Non southern and dilettante posters probably don’t notice but if your gg grandfather was demonized as a Nazi you would
I have five kids and businesses to run or I could quarrel with south hating race baiters here all day...,,they are cowards nobody knows who they are and they are here only to race bait....Rush would call them seminar callers
Love the post and love your profile! I couldn’t agree more. I too am from the south (Texas), with the extra good fortune of being from the west and the Rocky Mountains all at the same time!
We know that the lynchings were all unlawful, and I'm sure that the overwhelming number of victims were totally innocent of anything—other than being born with the wrong color skin.
Knowing what evil people are capable of—especially in a legal system that was constructed to protect them, Anyone who doesn't think there was a massive amount of injustice carried out during this time period, is in absolute denial.
Whatever didn't happen, enough is documented to know that some terrible injustices did happen. The fact that virtually any White person could make a false accusation against any Black person—and have it believed by default—has doubtless cost many their lives and freedom.

Sounds like a single year in Chicago. Why don't these grudge-holders and guilt-mongers do something constructive with their energy, like helping existing young people get on the right track?

I first went down this path reading about the history of lynching in the U.S. South about 5 years ago. The source material, from Wikipedia, credited the Tuskegee Institute with the research. It said the lynching reports were culled from newspaper articles during that era. Nothing was mentioned further on TI's methods. Perhaps copies of the original newspapers from 1865-1882 (including microfiches and digital scans) just weren't available for a host of reasons. I haven't read anything about the sources used by the civil rights attorney in Montgomery. I suspect he is just massaging the data collected by the TI.
You talking to me?
This tradition carries on! To get elected today, many democrats run not as Nancy Pelosi puppets but as, "blue dogs" yet, they always return to their vomit. Many republicans, to be fair, roll over for the liberal media.
