So now democrat Trump-hating Roy Williams joins with the rest of the leftist haters to run his goofy mouth about Silent Sam, calling the monument to war dead divisive and says it needs to be removed from anywhere on the campass of UNC. He gets some worthless petition signed by a bunch of OUT OF STATE basketball players, that you can bet are 100% liberal like that deputy dog-looking SOB is. Roy Williams is a traitor to his ancestors and a disgrace to the state. Once again its state law. You cant remove an historical monument from the original place it stood. I would be willing to bet the State Legislature revisits the law and strikes it down. Mob rule rules in this country and the police are told to let the mob do whatever in the hell they want to do. If this does not stop soon, and its happening all over the country theres a war coming. We might as well be living in a third world country. Were a nation without laws and crazied democrats are in charge.

I’m all for being decisive at the expense of Snowflakes and Leftists in general.
In fact, I’d say TWO offensive statues should be put up.

"When is the NCAA gonna penalize Ol Roy for those fake classes his players were taking?"This. Since when are we supposed to let CHEATERS define what belongs on a college campus? Roy Williams can stick it.

Selling out to appease basketball players. Sad.

Didn’t seem to bother him too much when he took the job.
And I don’t recall him complaining about it over the years.

Roy Williams is just what I expect him to be.
Lawrence, Kansas has a lot of liberals right there.
I’m sure he fit in when he was there.

By act of the US Congress, veterans of the CSA ARE veterans of the United States of America and entitled to all honors and privileges there to granted.
So if they would not take the statue honoring a US veteran down they can not take this statue down.

Silent Sam stood there for 113 years, and suddenly becomes offensive. What did he do to the snowflakes?
To: NKP_Vet
What’s “divisive” is removing Silent Sam in the first place.

I was born and raised in NC. My ancestors go back to over 250 years when the Highlanders were ran out of Scotland by the Redcoats. Thousands upon thousands settled in North Carolina. They fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of Sesession. My gg grandpa fought in the war and died in 1919. My grandma would tell us kids the story of how his brother was fighting by his side and was KIA, to be buried in a mass grave in Virginia. Countless other relatives fought and many died, Not a one owned a slave. For years after the war the veterans of both sides held reunions and got
along fine. These men went through a terrible war but didnt hate each other after it was over. Confederate generals were held in high regard by all Americans. Presidents attended the reunions. If these men who killed each other wholesale held no bitterness in their hearts for each other what in the hell is wrong with these idiots of today. A country learns from its history and moves on. You dont try to destroy that history.

That’s just it they can’t. Liberals ruin everything they touch. They can’t keep their hands off of it. If you like it and they don’t they have to make you not like it.

The Left has created a monster. The monster is always hungry. And the monster must be fed.

This week, a group of more than 200 current and former Tar Heel student-athletes ... sent a letter to university leaders urging them not to display the statue at the institution.So who wrote the letter for them?
These are the same student athletes who couldn't pass the regular courses so the athletic department had them enroll in phony courses to make sure they could get a passing grade.
Silent Sam was a memorial to those alumni who died and it was a statement about peace. Are these morons too stupid to see that? Look at the statue. Silent Sam is carrying no cartridges. He has an empty weapon. These people are too ignorant and the state of North Carolina gave them college degrees.

Don’t worry, if they get rid of the statute, they will find something thing else that is “divisive”. And so it goes.
