Confederate Statues

[LV426]

Monuments to Thomas Jefferson and George Washington are up. When are the snowflakes going to start whining about them?

Neither of those guys renounced America, renounced its Constitution, renounced its institutions, and then lost the war.

And BTW - I'm totally fine with tearing those monuments down too. No one will forget Washington was the first President if a statue is removed, will they?

The NC Historical commission.

Doesn’t that make them legitimate historical artifacts?

Nope.

 

[CFM]

Ahhh...so you think that Confederate Statues are "cultural relics"?

So what is the culture? Treason, slavery, racism, and losing.

Are you saying people denouncing their citizenship in the U.S. and establishing it somewhere else is treason?

The number choosing to expatriate annually has been steadily rising since 2012. Leading up to the 2016 election, several countries promoted themselves as destinations for people wanting to leave the U.S. Do you consider them traitors?

Look in the mirror if you want to see a racist asshole, ASSHOLE!!!

Delete your account; kill yourself.

 

[CFM]

Nope.

There you go bitching and whining when you don't get the answer you want, snowflake.

Heritage?

A statue has "heritage"?

What do you mean? I don't understand what "heritage" means in this context or this argument.

you are a stoopid hothead / of course you don't understand.

Historic heritage are places or objects of significance to people in regards to historical, archaeological,
or cultural values.

 

[Darth Omar]

Nope.

Feel free to explain your position.

 

[LV426]

It's not my fault you incorrectly believe the war was about slavery.

We know it was about slavery because that's what the states said in their articles of secession.

The Confederates were slave-owning racist assholes, all of whom should have burned alive by Sherman's hand. He didn't kill and burn down enough of the traitors.

Why don't you get on trying to do that and let people know when you're going to do so unlike the cowards that do it in the dark, under cover.

I don't support slavery. However, based on what LBJ said, blacks have tended to make themselves slaves to the Democrats for 50 years now. Strange how they make excuses for it 150 years ago but keep themselves on the plantation voluntarily.

If only black people could see that white racists like yourself just want the best for them.

 

[LV426]

You guys? How many people that owned slaves, in your best estimate, are alive today? How many people that were slaves, in your best estimate, are alive today?

You're defending the Confederacy, so their shit becomes your shit.

Are you opposed to tearing down Confederate statues because otherwise, you'll forget who lost the Civil War?

BITE ME, Ghetto Trash scumbag. My father is from the South, as is my pastor and their family. And they are FAR from racist, you scumbag!

The Taliban shared their fee fees, said some bad things about the Buddhas before they blew them up too. Sorry, that's not good enough of an excuse.

???

Was this a sentence that was translated from Russian to English?

Are you saying that buddhists are the same as Confederates?

There were lots of things in those articles you ignore. Perhaps that's because you're biased.

Are you claiming everyone that fought for the Confederacy owned slaves?

Apparently Sherman thought better of trying.

 

[LV426]

Simple the confederacy is a part of our history

Right, but why do you need a monument to them? They're not a good part of our history, and certainly lack the virtue to be memorialized.

So you seem to be arguing that if Confederate statues are removed, people will forget they fought a war for slavery and lost?

Do you not understand English?

No I'm saying you're the same as the Taliban.

chinese cultural revolution (Mao) tore down artifacts from previous dynasties and Confusianism -in the name or riding the country of the '4 olds'

 

[LV426]

Simple the confederacy is a part of our history snowflake and no amount of whining and vandalism will change that.

You seem to think that tearing down the Confederate monuments is to erase the Civil War. It's not. It's erasing the post-hoc legacy of the losers of that war. And that's what you should do to losers. Particularly losers who are also traitors.

 

[CFM]

You're defending the Confederacy, so their shit becomes your shit.

Are you opposed to tearing down Confederate statues because otherwise, you'll forget who lost the Civil War?

I see you failed to answer the two questions. Afraid to do so?

I'm opposed to people destroying property that doesn't belong to them. You support it which means their shit makes you another piece of shit.

 

[LV426]

"You guys"? I thought it was the Democrats.

Yeah, it was...then the parties switched bases during Civil Rights, and all the traitors and racists and Southern losers are Republican today.
