Does anyone on here actually support the monuments coming down?

It's been a masterful troll job. I've enjoyed the melt.

Yeah we've got a few.

I support a few hundred more threads on the topic

Aggies aren't really people, so y'all don't count

Why can't people post in one of the other 137 threads on this subject?

I was for the white league coming down.

Pissed about the other three.

Extremely pissed about PGT.

Pretty much this. Dumbasses lumped them all together when Liberty Square is indefensible.

I think the better question would be
"does anyone support the manner in which the monuments were taken down?"
The answers to that would be very telling

I gave your dad a real moneyshot, does that count?

Everyone knows Aggies are catchers so your tale is obviously fiction

There is another final and terrible enemy of the black individual. I first saw it in that Great Society program in which my salary was so sweetened by white guilt. The program itself quickly slid into banana republic–style corruption, and I was happy to get away to graduate-student poverty. But on the way out certain things became clear. The program was not so much a program as it was an idea of the social “good,” around which there was an intoxicating enthusiasm. It was my first experience with the utter thrill of untested good intentions. On the way out I realized that thrill had been the point. That feeling is what we sent back to Washington, where it was received as an end in itself.

Now I know that white guilt is a moral imperative that can be satisfied by good intentions alone. In my own lifetime, racial reform in America changed from a struggle for freedom to a struggle for “the good.” A new metaphysics of the social good replaced the principles of freedom. Suddenly “diversity,” “inclusion,” “tolerance,” “pluralism,” and “multiculturalism” were all conjure words that aligned you with a social good so compelling that you couldn’t leave it to mere freedom. In certain circumstances freedom could be the outright enemy of “the good.” If you want a “diverse” student body at your university, for example, the individualistic principles of freedom might be a barrier. So usually “the good” has to be imposed from above out of a kind of moral imperialism by a well-meaning white elite.
