Feel free to erect all the statues you want of David Duke, Bedford Forrest, and Jefferson Davis on your private property. These men are clearly heroes to you.
But statues of rebels who fought on behalf of slavery and took up arms to kill American soldiers serving under the Stars and Stripes has no place in our public commons.

This is an interesting question. Considering there are "protests" both to get rid of, and to demonstrate the will to keep the same monuments. Which side is "stupid" in your opinion? Is it both sides (not hypocritical) or just the side that protests against what you want (hypocritical)?
This is part of a national conversation. The question: How should we remember the Confederacy?
I prefer to remember it as the losers in a war fought to destroy this nation. How do you think we should remember the Confederacy?

have you been to Gettysburg? Antietam ?
If not you should go -Gettysburg battlefield is so large you can drive most of it.
Let the men who fought there answer your question of how the Confederacy should be remember

Race hustlers like BAC, TTQ, Damo and 3D get all warm and squishy inside thinking that tearing down these monuments is effecting some change.
Can't you see those black lives mattering now? Hey look the black graduation rate just increased 50%, black unemployment decreased 90%. All because a statue was torn down. Kudos people. Kudos. You all should feel very proud. Mark this day to share with your grandchiLdren.

I actually have no social justice motive in all of this. I just hate the south, the former CSA, and everyone who celebrates southern "heritage" and/or is an apologist for the CSA. Wrecking monuments to losers is just my way of saying "fuck you" to the memory of the CSA.
If other people have different motives for joining me in the beautiful destruction, I can live with that.
we get that Mr. ISIS. what some of us are looking at is what is called putting things into perspective.
I'll not waste keystrokes explaining that to a self-described hater.

Your perspective is wrong, comrade Russian, because, it invariably means stating things about the CSA which are false.
no you moron. It's not about "southern heritage". It's about the men in battle.
I actually agree with you in terms of flying CS flags over public property and accoutrements.
What I showed ( so far ) in this thread is how the Civil War perspective was dealt with by the nation
in the aftermath.photos might help see how we incorporated the event thru the years
One again -it's about the men who fought bravely

Let them fight in museums and cemeteries, where they belong. Do you think enemy soldiers fought bravely against us in other wars?
If you can't see how the Civil War -brother against brother- is different then "other wars" I can't help you..
you don't want to see as you stated. that's fine

Well, the enemy in that war was considerably more debased than the Mexicans and Spanish were, so, I guess it was unique.
Lincoln @ Gettysburg
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, “GETTYSBURG ADDRESS” (19 NOVEMBER 1863)
[1] Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
[2] Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
[3] But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
tear down the buffalo soldiers monument,the where part of the AMERICAN INDIAN GENOCIDE.
