Not triggered, not happy to see history being slowly dismantled. If you don’t think this affects you via the cultural climate, hang on.
How many left jabs to win a boxing match? That's what this strategy is.

Don't need to land a devastating right, just keep jabbing with the left. Land enough left jabs and still score a knockout.

I am surprised by this. I was sure it was going to be 40-50% black, which would explain the politics there. But, no, blacks make up 20% and yet somehow the 70% white majority just bows down to their asinine demands.

In case you were wondering, Chris is the poster who, in the thread about Trump’s stupid comments, freaks out over every stupid comment Trump makes.

Clearly “things that have zero impact on his life” is a moving target defined by nothing.

I’m offended. Since I’m white that doesn’t matter and has little to no impact!

The left is dangerous and way more powerful than most care to admit!

So I am sure that one city that does and will no longer do so will not have that big of an impact on the culture of this country.


Not really a big picture kind of guy huh Oweo? Just another symptom of the brainwashed progreesive Left whitewashing inconvenient facts away. In other words, people that live in a literal fantasy world are holding more and more sway culturally over this country. Trump and the movement behind them are the only thing standing in the way of total disaster for this country. Unfortunately, a huge chunk of American citizens fail to see what is really happening. By the time they do, it will be way too late.

What demands? Were Charlottesville blacks actually clamoring for this?

White liberals are more than happy to speak for groups who “should be offended”. Please remember that.

None of this would be acceptable without the media.

Exactly. Charlottesville wouldn't EXIST without Jefferson. This would be similar to New Orleans canceling Mardi Gras because the Catholics brought over all the slaves.

The complacency with revisionist history scares the shite out of me.

Thanks, Baby Boomers. You had a chance to nip this in the bud 30-plus years ago but instead you cowards did nothing, hoping it would all fade away.

I hope you all live long enough to get Soylent Greened.

That is so fricking stupid. Instead of cancelling one holiday and creating another, why not just add the AA holiday to the calendar?

It really doesn't have to be so fricking difficult.

Why stop there? Why not remove all statues of Jefferson and take any mention of Monticello and UVA (which he founded) from all city literature, maps and road signs? Why not dig his old arse up and throw him in the river?

Let's pretend he never existed, or short of that just ignore all of his great works simply because he lived in a time when people owned slaves. What a bunch of simple-minded jackasses.

I watched a Ken Burns Doc on old Tom, seems like he had a bunch of mulatto childrens running around his plantation.

And you'd be wrong. The DNA test that supposedly "confirmed" that didn't even use Jefferson's DNA. The story was made popular and the idea spread during the Clinton impeachment, so as to make Clinton's sexual indiscretion seem more palatable.

Yeah, I didn't know that either, but the Sally Hemmings thing is presented as fact. It isn't.
