re: How does the removal of monuments help blacks?

Tell you what? That I wouldn't fight to protect my family? What the frick does that have to do with wondering out loud why we have monuments up that pay homage to a failed rebellion? I don't begrudge people wanting to honor their heritage, if that's what they want to do. But again, it was a failed rebellion.

That says nothing about my protecting my family. But go ahead and be an Internet tough guy since I can't pop that jaw out of place through a keyboard.
