Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needs to ask herself what party she’s a member of and who those ‘slaveholder’ statues really represent. And SPARE US the BS magical history that Democrats use to pretend their party wasn’t filled with racist monsters who founded the KKK.
Those slaveholders would have been in AOC’s party … think she understands that?
That’s a rhetorical question, FYI.
People really need to ask themselves why their communities chose to erect statues to slaveholders instead of abolitionists.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 11, 2020
Tone-deaf is the phrase of the day, folks.
You might want to ask why you are a member of the political party that fought to keep slavery while denouncing the political party founded specifically by abolishionists. https://t.co/T49Up18wUp— Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) June 11, 2020
much more humor at the link including the following:
Rioters in Philly deface a statue of Matthias Baldwin, an early abolitionist who fought against slavery 30 years before it ended.

That’s exactly WHY they’re so dangerous
People who do not know history and condemned to repeat history. These Communists are destroying our history and they would like to make slaves of us all.
Defund and abolish the party of slavery and segregation.
Isn’t that guy attacking the statue with a NOOSE? Nooses are racist!
I’d say designate the DNC as a terrorist group. But as true as that may be, it might be too far for most Republicans.
When is academia going to be held accountable for their actions?
Is that AOC in the orange humping that statue?
Society should not be tolerating this crap.
Thet will believe they have free reign to trespass and do it to anyones property.
ie rioting and looting
and will cry when the property owners fearing for their lives fire on them and deal with the mob appropriately
if they wont live by the golden rule they are telling us what IS acceptable to them
so we can treat them in the manner in which they treat others
dont want to be treated badly, dont treat others badly
won’t respect others, ok we can now not have to respect you
THAT IS THE GOLDEN RULE
YOU ACT TOWARDS OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO TREAT YOU
YOU DESTROY PROPERTY AND PEOPLE, WE WILL DESTROY YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU
THE BASIS OF CIVILIZATION
IF THEY CANNOT ABIDE IT WE WILL TREAT THEM THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING OTHERS
Wrong. It's "He who has the gold makes the rules!"
Don’t nobody tell A.O.C. that Andy Jackson was a democrat and is responsible for the “trail of tears.”
She might not be able to handle it.

Every Democrat needs to resign to make atonement for what their party did to blacks.
Too far for most Republicans??
Hell, designating ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist group is too far for many Republicans.
The year 1915 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Civil War. Monuments to Confederate and Union heroes were being dedicated all over the country. Woodrow Wilson, a fan of Jim Crow laws, was president. He had allowed federal workplaces to segregate again.
Enter Thomas Dixon Jr., Wilson’s classmate from Johns Hopkins. A film had just been made of Dixon’s second novel, “the true story” of the South under Reconstruction. Would the president, he wondered, be interested in viewing it? (He would.)
“History written with lightning,” Wilson declared of The Clansman, the second film ever to be screened in the White House. It was an endorsement guaranteed to head off resistance from town censor boards charged with shutting down entertainment deemed unsuitable or incendiary to the public.
The Clansman was a silent movie with title cards. It depicted whites as victims and blacks as villains. Benevolent former masters were denied votes and subjugated by newly freed blacks taking over the country. In an early scene, black legislators sit at desks, shoeless and drunk, too busy stuffing their faces with fried chicken to work. The title card read: “An historical facsimile of the State House of Representatives of South Carolina in 1870.” South Carolina had been the first state to elect a majority-black legislature and that the card implied that the apish behavior depicted was historically accurate, too.
In a later scene, the white heroine (played by Lillian Gish) is threatened by a black man unable to contain his urge to “mongrelize” the white race. Before she is ravaged, a savior army rides in: The Ku Klux Klan. The title-card copy comes straight from the president’s five-volume History of the American People, published in 1902:
The white men were roused by an instinct of self-preservation…until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan…to protect the Southern country.
Yeah, but it p*sses off all the right people — even if some of them are ‘ours’. I’m sure Mitt Romney’s lacy pink panties are in a bunch over the ANTIFA designation.
