You don't have to. The pompousness of your posts drips straight out of the monitor.

Your premise that history itself is on the ropes here is pure nonsense, hence my disregarding the rest of your henceforth silly argument.
You can't even keep track of who you're talking to, nor do you seem to understand fr33's opinion. You may want to take a break.

Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792 - 1822
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
quote:
Such dishonesty is why your opinion here isn't respected.
Care to take a poll?

no it's not.
But, y'all have to keep saying it, or else you really really have nothing.

If the whites are the racists, why are only monuments that black people "find offensive" being targeted? Why does only one minority get catered to?

The democracy that was on display at the council meeting made me proud to be an American...

I honestly don't think taking down the statue would change anything. People who harbor racist ideals will hold them regardless.
As for my fellow black brethen, instead of fighting for removal of inanimate symbols, we should focus on developing ourselves.

I agree and that's a healthy way to look at it. But then you have the group that doesn't give a shite about that and make remarks like, "Uncle Tom" to those who do care.

Stacy Head is launching an all out assault on this shite. There are anit-abortion signs on city-owned street light on St. Charles. She want them down since we're removing things that are offensive. I like this broad.
News said those were coming down at the end of the month anyway.
