Virginia governor to announce removal of Robert E. Lee statue

[vegas giants]

I miss the days when nobody saw a statue as a threat to people of their color.

There are no statutes of people who fought to keep your ancestors as slaves

 

[vegas giants]

Treason is siding with America's enemies, like antifa today and the democrat South in the Civil War?

Treason is a former american taking up arms against America

 

[vegas giants]

Yes, there are war crimes in war and there is war without war crimes. What war crimes did Robert E. Lee commit?



Not for war crimes but because of black hatred for Civil War generals and leaders? String them up on the nearerst tree because blacks hate them and don't give a damn about due process and the rule of law? Dig up their graves and stomp their bones to dust? Tear down every remembrance of them and burn textbooks which record the history of the Civil War? And if whites don't go along with that burn their cities and attack cops for supposedly being racist for not agreeing with them?

They committed treason against the US

This shows that so long as enough people want something to happen, that they can force it. Especially when the officials who head such communities are this spineless.

You are describing democracy. I'm not sure why the will of the people offends you so much. I feel the rest of my post stands as well. The only argument you have is a terrible slippery slope argument that could be applied in any situation and gets us no where.

Don't know, don't care. Why don't you go ask them?

Because last I checked, this isn't Germany and even saying the word Nazi carries repercussions there.

Saying racist carry repercussions here. BTW Germany has no statues of Hitler. There don’t celebrate evil

“Baboons”.

Gee bud, way to expose yourself.

Conservatives fly the Confederate flag proudly, and then wonder why minorities don’t vote for them in any large numbers.

As long as white, Christian republicans keep excusing and defending the Confederacy, lots of people are going to have a problem with that.

We have native Americans conducting ceremonies honoring their ancient history all the time. Should we cop an attitude and move into their reservations and burn down their monuments, stamp their relics to powder and jail every enemy of a Union soldier still alive today? No that would be stupid and so is re-fighting the Civil War in modern times and attacking monuments and destroying relics from the past. Just because leftist morons find the memory of the Civil War offensive does not mean we should destroy every memory just to appease their overly sensitive feelings and misguided emotions.

Lying Christian republican conservative bull crap narrative: “The Confederacy was just fighting for a “state’s right”(we don’t mention which right they were fighting for, because that exposes our case completely) and besides, slavery wasn’t so bad”.

:roll:

Who the hell cares now why the war was fought? To borrow famous words from Hillary, "What the hell difference does that make now?" The Civil War is over. Tell the democrat propagandists trying to keep it alive for stupid political advantage to shut the hell up and stop destroying America and people's lives with that false racist hateful narrative crap.

Black people care. They should not have to look up to a monument to people that fought to keep them in chains every time they go to the park

Again, as along as conservatives continuing defending the Confederacy, minorities are going to have a problem with it. Just like Jewish people hate nazis, African Americans are never going to accept that it was “okay” for people to fight to continue to enslave them....nor should they.

Remembering the war dead does not mean "honoring the cause of the war." That is just another dummass racist narrative promoted by hateful dirty democrats to gain crooked political advantage in elections.

How is a statue of general lee remembering the war dead?

So? Are there any statues of blacks who murdered innocent whites by the dozens in opposition to slavery? Are there any monuments preserving the memory of American Indians who murdered innocent Americans? So what?

Those monuments are not hurting anyone today. Leave those people alone and allow them to erect memories to their fallen as they see fit.

You mean like this?

They committed treason against the US

Treason? Because he fought honorably in the Civil War? Were all soldiers who fought for the South guilty of treason? Should we have taken all of them to fenced camps after the war and let blacks shoot them down like dogs one at a time for their treason? What about Geronimo? He killed Americans in a losing war also. Should we send wild savage bands of roasming antifa terrorists to tear down every statue of Geronimo they can find? To soothe the sensitive feelings of those who were offended by the Indian wars against the US?

No, we shouldn't. There is no cause for raiding the memories of descendants of Civil War soldiers just because some leftist snowflakes want those memories stamped out for stupid reasons. The war is over. Get over it. It is now time to move on and stop obsessing with past people and events who had and have nothing to do with us today.

Christians care also, but they have not tried to stamp out the memory of former slaves who murdered innocent Americans in the ancient past. Nat Truner has descendants. Let those descendants remember him. Remembering Nat Truner is hurting nobody today. That was ancient history. We should not be stupidly obsessing with the past. We had nothing to do with the past. We cannot change the past.
And remembering fallen heroes of the past should not hurt anyone today and never should be stamped out because of hurt feelings of the few who cannot seem to let go of the past.

They are hurting people. A black parent has to explain to their kid why there is a statue of a man that wanted her to be a slave.


That is disgusting

My god. You just said people who fought for slavery were fallen heroes. This is exactly why the monuments must come down. They were traitors to America that fought for slavery.


They are only your hero if you are a racist

Any american who renounces his citizenship and joins the army of a foreign nation that attacks America is a traitor.



My god it is the very definition of the word traitor

Lots of southerners still remember their fallen soldiers as well as those soldiers who did not die in battle. Leave those people alone. They are not hurting anyone. Claims that they are promoting modern oppression of blacks is Plainly Stupid.

Little kid to mom: "Mommy, Johnny is hurting me."

Mom: 'How?'

Kid: 'By calling me a white cracker.'

Mom: 'Leave him alone. He is not hiurting you. Don't pay him any attention.'

Black Lives Matter member to group leader: 'I get offended every time I walk past a monument of a dead white guy who used to own slaves.'

BLM leader: 'And so you should. We need to go out and destroy every monument to every past American who ever owned slaves, to stop the white injust to the black people.'
