re: Duke Removes Robert E Lee Statue

A single bust / painting of Lee ( in context) at Appomattox Museum would barely get notice ,but over 1500 commissioned sites by the Klan/ Neo Confederate organizations..........

You do realize the statues of confederate generals, etc...these men were all pardoned by the United States president

Yet this isn't a painting or a bust. It's a full statue of a traitor to the crown and the Commander of forces for the treasonous nation.

And somehow, there aren't effeminate males gathered around it trying to take it down.

Might the UK equivalent be Cromwell?

1899 they erected a statue of him at Parliament.

Your emotion does not not make correct your contention.

Interesting thought. The English civil war was different than the US civil war, but maybe those differences don't matter in this case.

The main difference though is ultimately, in the long run, Parliament (Cromwell) won. The monarch is a figurehead now, parliament reigns supreme, so Cromwell is a safe figure. Except for maybe the Irish who might hold a grudge.

Mount Rushmore in big trouble

That raises a disturbing problem.

Cromwell was a bigot and a tyrant, but let's get back to the US. The Founders and the Rebels were both guilty of racism and slavery. So if you're OK with the former, the issue can't be that.

If the issue is treason, both groups were guilty, with the difference being the Founders won and the Rebels lost.

But if that's the difference, the argument is literally reduced to might makes right.

"Someone doesn't like a statue I like" is not retarded. Get upset about actual issues where SJWs are causing harm.

the next time you go off spewing facts about black folk, ask yourself this


what about the other 30%?

how do you think it feels as a guy from african american heritage who knows both his parents who wasn't born out of wedlock whose parents have college degrees when he gets lumped in as just a statistic


i said something on my home board the other day and some dude just randomly said something along the lines of "what building did you protest today" like why because im' black I must be poor, ignorant, fatherless etc


see when you say 70% what you are really saying is all. I'm not my brother's keepers. i can't control the fact that shinequa is a fricking thot who can't keep her legs closed and keeps popping out kids, i can't control the fact she keeps choosing deadbeats to have kids by. I can't control that she would rather go too the club than to help her with her kids homework.


But by saying shite like that you are slighting all the black men who do handle their business, all the black women who do make good and prudent decisions, who have jobs, who pay bills, etc.


instead of holding the few black people up as examples, you take the easy route and lump all black people in with the ones you want to visualize every black person as to fit your agenda. that's the problem.

you can say rap music, "culture" is the problem but just as much as that, is non white people talking about and holding up ghetto people as examples instead of cultured black folk as examples


you see us at your job,k you see us at the grocery store you just don't' care cause we don't fit your agenda.

Wrong- he fought for his home state Virginia. Back then that was more important
