Black Leaders in Ariz. Push for Removal of State’s Confederate Monuments
quote:
African-American leaders in Arizona are the next to call for the swift removal of the state’s Confederate monuments, joining an overall cry across the nation by those who know that the monuments celebrate slavery and racism and, generally, just the wrong side of history.
quote:
In Arizona, black leaders and officials on Monday intend to make their formal request that the state’s six Confederate monuments be removed. The most public memorial is actually located across from the state Capitol. There is also the matter of a small highway southeast of Apache Junction that is named after Jefferson Davis, who was the first and only president of the Confederacy, a monument state Rep. Reginald Bolding unsuccessfully attempted to rename.

I don't see the problem here. Let's just erase history and fabricate a new one in its place.

Outside of maybe Phoenix, I wouldn't think a lot of blacks lived in Arizona. I lived in Yuma for a year and hardly saw any.

Why are there Confederate monuments in AZ?
Posted on 6/5/17 at 11:29 am to upgrayedd
I think AZ was considered a Confederate territory.

Yeah, that's pretty fricking weird. I've spent a lot of time in AZ and I would never have imagined they had any.

there's no need for there to be confederate monuments in arizona.

Let's be honest. Not only is this a racist term, but there really is no such thing as a "black leader".

I'll be damned. Looks like the southern half of AZ was considered Confederate territory. I lived in that area for years and never saw a Confederate monument.

It will be so nice one day when the teachers in this country can tell the story about 6 people being shot in one night in New Orleans.

Kinda like reverse prejudice. Prejudice is prejudice.
Oh drat.. I forgot. Only white people are prejudice.

They got blacks in Arizona?
Posted on 6/5/17 at 12:17 pm to Will Cover
I remember when AZ was conservative but I'm pretty sure that's not the case any longer so I fully expect these monuments to come down.

I wonder if this movement will gain any traction here in Richmond, VA where we have the famous Monument Ave. which has many grand statues of Confederate generals and heroes. If so, it won't go over too well, although we have been invaded by yankee libs over the years.

Maybe someone should create a Confederate monument museum. It could be like a redneck Disney. Put it in Pigeon Forge.
