Enough of this shite!

I've been sitting back and reading this board all weekend without much comment. People arguing for and against statues, lecturing back and forth about how virtuous or how rotten a human being Robert E Lee was, the causes of the Civil War, the Alt Right, the Alt Left, and all the other useless shite that amounts to jack shite. Just shut the frick up with it already. Neither side is listening. It's just verbal diarrhea from the top of this board to the bottom.
Stop trying rehash the Civil War. It end nearly 200 years ago. Stop speaking ill of the dead and trying to see them through present day lenses. No one here has ever met Lee, had a conversation with him, or had the opportunity to observe his character firsthand, so stop pretending that you know the man, his heart or his intentions. He's long been dead. Let him Rest In Peace.
Stop investing foolish emotion in man made statues. Good bad or otherwise, they remind us of where we came from as a country. You can't selectively whitewash away the parts of history that make you uncomfortable. It's akin to tearing chapters out of a novel you don't like. When you do, the story is forever lost.
Stop letting these worthless politicians reopen wounds of the past to divide us, when none of us bear any responsibility for events of a hundred of two hundred years ago. Im not Alt right, Alt left or any other label you put on me. I'm an American and if that offends you, too bad.

I agree! It's time we removed the foci for this shite! Tear all of the Confederate statues down!

Who said it's about crime?
Mosque bombings / bomb threats have gone up since Trump got into office.

Brilliant idea. Nothing like giving the whack jobs and extremists on both sides a giant fricking cause to rally around. Maybe we can find some other rocks to kick over afterwards and see what comes crawling out? How about we dig up some conferderate graves too?

And let me guess, that is supposed to be Trump's fault?
Cops being murdered went up when Obama took office, and there is a pretty good argument that he caused that.
Racial division > blm > higher rate of cops killed, in a very short description.

You are late to the party with that suggestion. The sjw's have already mentioned doing that in Memphis with Bedford Forrest awhile back.

Sure, then when you find something else you don't agree with you can call it racist and tear it down too.

Im pretty familiar with that. My point though is that all these groups were no body, no where losers who were going about their worthless piece of crap lives until dumb frick politicians started with this idiotic statue business. All it did was give dumb fricks everywhere a cause to rally around. It's given their otherwise worthless lives some warped sense of meaning. BamaAtl wants to ratchet up the tearing down of statues which accomplishes nothing but rallying more of these idiots to the cause.

When that was brought to Mitch's attention in a recent interview, his response was, "Did you know that Lee was a murderer?"
