You weren't exactly helping the situation either.


Yeah, well, it was late and they made it personal.

This is more than a black/white issue. Its about how America has gotten the idea, that no one should be offended. If you can have 300 million people in one country, and no one is offended, that is one lame, boring country.



Not only is it boring ... it's impossible.

This is an article, saying some of what you were told about all symbols.

an article from December about others statues


That article expressed my sentiments exactly! I just forwarded it to Richard ... it's exactly what we were talking about.

And I can't blame your cousin. Trying to tear down history, while allowing criminals free run of the city.


Yeah, we talked in depth about the crime thing but I dared not mention it here ... the race-baiter would have turned that into the fault of slavery and the mean old white people as well.

It's all so pathetic, it really is.

It's time for certain people to own it ... embrace it, get over it and fix the real problem.

Desecration of monuments, erasing of history, disrespect of others, book burning, stomping on Constitutional Rights are all just excuses to take over ... it only makes things worse, but they just don't get it.

That article is an excellent read and thank you for sharing.

They have been all over the Monument removal from the beginning, while the rest of the media, was too afraid to sound racist.
There is FB page, "Save our Circle". They have fought the removal, but you also get a lot of articles, from both sides shared there.

It's not erasing history. It's choosing not to memorialize traitors to the United States of America. It shouldn't be that difficult of a concept. It just so happens that most of our ancestors who are from the south were a part of the lost cause.
