Link?


Dr Timothy Sedore

I saw this talk (and others) here in Richmond. Dr. Sedore has been traveling all around the US trying to visit as many Civil War monuments as possible. I learned that outside of Pennsylvania, there are more Union CW monuments in Mississippi than in any other state. And there appears to be some elaborate monuments and parks memoralizing the Civil War in Mississippi, particularly Vicksburg.

Mitch, if these statues are so offensive, why didn't you destroy them where the stand?


Exactly. If they're so offensive so as to warrant their removal from New Orleans, they should be destroyed as is. If they're worthy of being displayed elsewhere, leave them the frick alone.

Mitch had his epiphany on Confederate symbols sometime after 1999.


June 17, 2015. That was the day an entire party suddenly began to notice anything connected to the past and began to denote it as racist and promoting the vile actions of that bowl cut teenager.

This is a little known fact, The CSA banned the importation of slaves from overseas in 1861 about 1 month before Ft. Sumpter. They did allow slaves to be brought in from the territories. So the territories could get slaves from overseas and then resale to CSA member states.

Vicksburg is full of various monuments...it's the western equivalent of Gettysburg, where you get to the point where you are starting to ask where the monument is to the 199th Quartermaster Underwater Mess Kit Repair Company of the Rhode Island Militia...

They probably don't want to be firebombed though the SJWs on this site and with Take Em Down are probably already planning it
-------------------------------------------------------------

There was a half assed arson attempt when this all started to get going. Some "peaceful protesters" rolled a tire or two up to the front door, dump an accelerant on them, lit it off, and then ran off into the night.

Wouldn't this be an insult to the dead slaves on the slave ship? You know, Kind of like desecrating a grave site?

With that being said, I think they should stay where they are.

Doesn't matter. Pretty much all of those STILL complaining about slavery were born here and they're still not happy. But then, those kind of people will NEVER be satisfied. I just kinda ignore them, like my grumpy neighbor. They just want attention. If you ignore them, they'll eventually move on to bothering someone else for it.

There was another thread today about "simple minds"....That's what they are.

You are a dickhead from the word go. Whitey ain't holding you down anymore bro. It's time people took some self responsibility for their current state of affairs.

It seems at this point he is only tryng to stoke the oppositions anger. It's a shame most people on the opposite side of this issue have jobs/families and not the time to protest and make a scene like the other side does.

Fear not. If you freaks get your way, the American flag will be declared "racist" and considered "offensive."

Just you watch; it'll happen.
