It won't end with statues

After the statues, it will be something else. Then something after that...and so on.
We are talking about any monument, county/parish name, street name, school name, etc. that is even remotely connected to slavery or perceived to be connected with slavery.

I still remember watching Nick News 20 years ago and seeing a story on there about how students came together to change the name of their school from George Washington high school to Thurgood Marshall high school because Washington owned slaves

That's not it. Until everything is exactly how they want it. Exactly.

They'll eventually want to alter Mt. Rushmore, change the faces on our currency, rename all national monuments, etc.

Then they will turn on each other and it will be the Leninites vs Trotskyites all over again.

Speech is the next frontier. I see it on my feed now where "hate speech" should be outlawed or shouldn't be tolerated.

This will include sermons, especially if you're white.

Yep. We will see a legit attempt by the Left to curb First Amendment rights by claiming that Hate Speech is as hurtful as yelling "fire" in a movie theater.

Of course it won't; they'll (get triggered NOW) need something new to bitch about.

Meh, statues are insignificant in the long run. It's m ridiculous and petty but has no real significance beyond frustrating us.
Middle aged to elderly white men still run this country as they always have and always will for the foreseeable future. All this distracting nonsense in the news has no effect whatsoever on the true location of power in this country.

It'll be just like the use of the N-word..only blacks can use it and not create an uproar. Blacks get a lot of free passes in today's America.
And the whites who are suffering from "white guilt" are increasingly present. In fact, doctors have determined that due to our liberal college teachings, 9 out of 10 young Americans suffer from "White Guilt". Why?

So this kind of thing has been going on for decades without the kind of melty snowflake, slippery-slope, Chicken-Little-the-sky-is-falling arguments y'all are making about where monument removal with end. Chill. It's going to be OK.

White people as a whole still have it significantly better in this country than blacks as a whole and that isn't going to change anytime soon. And legally, blacks get relatively few passes. They're far more likely to convicted of and serve longer prison sentences for equivalent crimes compared to whites for instance. They're also far more likely to get expelled from school than white for the same offenses.

Of course it will - which is why you never EVER give in to an emotionally driven 'movement' - it is NEVER about what they are demanding NOW - giving in to them just moves the goalpost to another milestone further along their agenda towards total control.
The only thing to do in regards to these 'demands' is to LAUGH at them - mock them - compare them to spoiled brats.
NEVER GIVE IN to an emotional brat - it only prompts more tantrums.

Of course it will. The group in NOLA made it known what is next. Streets, buildings, then speech.
It will never end until the domestic enemy of the progressive left is eliminated.

Republicans had no problem with gutting the first amendment when Trump wanted to go after the libel laws.
This is just topical politics. You'll reposition yourself on the issue when the shoe fits again the next time.
