A Confederate statue is coming down today

Interesting to hear the history in the narrative on FB.

The community voted to put the statue up.

And now the community has voted to take it down.
 
The narrative didn't mention if any local blacks were involved in the ceremony to put it up.

I would suspect it was all white people who put it up.
 
OK, I see what they are doing now.

After all that time undoing the bolts at the base of the bronze statue, it did not separate from the granite block. The first lift resulted in the the granite coming with the bronze. They decided that was OK and began to lift, but then thought twice, knowing that the bolts had been removed. Nobody knew what was holding the granite on there.

Now they are taking time to place straps around the granite to make sure it doesn't just pop off of there and fall while they lift the bronze.

I would suspect there were a lot of bleeding heart, guilt ridden white left wing trash that voted to take it down.
 
The statue of a Confederate soldier, flanked by a cannon and ammunition, has stood at the county courthouse in Charlottesville, Virginia, since 1909, more than 40 years after the Civil War.

It was christened "At Ready," and the statue's installation during Jim Crow sent a signal to many that resounded for decades -- in a city that renewed its association with deadly racial violence in 2017.
Saturday, the statue is coming down.

The Albemarle County Commission is live streaming the removal on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Chickenshit PC strikes again. This will absolve Charlottesville of any participation in slavery. :party:
 
OK, that's it. It's down. They ended the live feed.

Another festering wound in the psyche of America is healed.

I have mixed feelings on this. I understand the problem since many of these statues weren't erected soon after the Civil War. Like this one, it was put up over 40 years later in 1909. The good news is that it's going to be guarding one of the Shenandoah Valley battlefields.

I do not support erasing history and advocate adding to history as a better solution, but I also support States' Rights. Virginia is free to do as they please with their statues.

The statue of a Confederate soldier and monuments of cannons and cannonballs were removed from Charlottesville, Va. Saturday and will be relocated to a battlefield in the Shenandoah Valley.

The statue, erected in 1909 and bankrolled by the county, the city of Charlottesville and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, was located in front of a courthouse in Albemarle County. Its removal was shown on a livestream on the county’s Facebook page.

try not to post on meth it just goes badly for you. The fact that you cant discern the difference between a loser and a winner or the difference between an American and a traitor suggests a severe meth issue
