This is what happens when you get so comfortable with an echo chamber that you lose your ability to comprehend anything other that what spouts from you own lazy mind.

does anybody think that MLK was progressive on gay or trans rights? some don't

When the student union considered the question, some students asked, “Does the MLK quote represent us today?” The problem wasn’t so much the message, but the fact that it only focused on racial diversity instead of gender identity.
“Diversity is so much more than race,” said one sophomore architecture major. “Obviously race still plays a big role. But there are people who identify differently in gender and all sorts of things like that.”
i mean when the message of martin luther king, jr. isn't good enough...

Mitch Landrieu needs an arse beating of the worst kind. I hate that race baiting piece of shite so fricking bad.
He's like what if Afreaux was Nola Mayor.

You've been like a kid on Christmas morning, posting gleefully in every thread today on this topic. You've been posting here since 2008.
Surely if this is something that makes you so happy, you can point me to at least one or two posts prior to 2015, where you were philosophically opining on the horrors of having 100 year old statutes of men involved in the Civil War in the city of New Orleans, no?

I wrote this in 1992.

It's called incrementalism. The proverbial pound of flesh. They wanted to use the roof shooting to score a political win. It's a key tactic of modern progressivism and how they chip away at opposing thought.
It's the same basic tactic being used against conservatives in the media. See: ORielly, Hannity.

The 3,000 right wing 4 lyfers on here once again making a boogie man out of the 10 left wing posters on here. The great scourge!

That's an interesting, perhaps even thoughtful, piece. 
But, even there, you weren't decrying the existence of statues of dead confederates -- hell, it even looks like you consensually acknowledged at least one.

The Robert E. Lee statue represented slavery and oppression? No, no, no!! I was told be a liberal this morning that it was erected to honor the man.

So the kids that fought for their States, Cities and hometowns don't deserve a Memorial Day because the cause of those above them were unjust? What were they supposed to do, Google what the causes were for?
You know, these were fathers, husbands, brothers, sons and uncles, too. Easy for you assholes with a delusional sense of superiority to damn these men from your ivory outhouse, huh?

Ehh, the point was only meant to be directed to anyone who appears suddenly to be overly gleeful about this development, but I guess if I had only directed it that generally, it wouldn't have given you the full opportunity to feel sufficiently put upon.

Sam Davis, yes.
He was told his life would be spared if he would disclose the name of his handler. That person, Davis knew, the Yankees had in custody because he had been incarcerated in in the same facility.
1,284 Tennesseans died at Andersonville Prison. So far as I know, they are not honored at the state capital.

I don't think they have that in Germany. The guilt of the Germans is still pretty raw.

I never did give a shite whether the statues stay up or not.
However, in fairness, I've been mocking the Poliboard's fascination with the Civil War silver medalists for well over two years. Who gives a frick where your great-great-great grandpappy fought? Do you even know his name?
