The most important point from these debacles is the question we need to ask black Americans:
Now that the usual set of white virtue signaling trust fund radicals convinced you that these Confederate monuments were holding you back; after their removal, how has your life improved?
I mean, they would answer yes. I think their answer is retarded, but that doesn’t change what it would be

I actually respect you not trying to be coy at all and just straight up saying you don’t like black people
You're the one who said the blackest region of the country is generally the fattest and dumbest.

Like with most political things both extreme sides were off and the common sense approach was somewhere in the middle.
For example there was no reason for a Robert E. Lee statue somewhere like Dallas, Robert E. Lee never spent time in Dallas. I had no problem with common sense replacement of some of the statues, but some of them made sense where they were and getting rid of them was very dumb.
Whether we like history or not we shouldn’t try and erase it, but we also shouldn’t try and mold it into what we want it to be.

Your side gained nothing in removing them.

And they’re selling the wrong message anyway. I have a ton of respect for Lee for his values and the way he carried himself with dignity at the end of and after the war. He was a true warrior and had class.
But the message a lot of people want to send with the statues is “the south will rise again” shite instead of highlighting his honor and ability to reconcile back into a united nation.

If we remove all statues, monuments, then erase it from the History Books, what will Liberals have to whine about. After a couple of generations it will have been forgotten.
We know the war wasn't fought about slavery. It was only the white wash to hide the real power grab.

You nailed this. Lee was outspoken about the South rejoining the Union after the war and definitely would not have supported this “lost cause” narrative or the idea that “the South will rise again”. I seriously doubt he would support a lot of the things that people used his name to represent.
In fact I imagine if Robert E. Lee was around today people on the far right would label him a liberal

He, in fact, did. In the post above yours, he also answers on behalf of black people too, just like a good progressive.

Lee himself was opposed to such monuments and favored full re-integration into the union as soon as possible.
And most of the monuments weren’t built in the immediate aftermath of the war, but during the civil rights movement, when southern whites were livid that blacks were about to be allowed to vote.
Confederate nostalgia is apex loser behavior, then, now, and always

Not that you care, but this is factually untrue. Most were built between 1880 (the end of reconstruction) and 1930.

This is ALL liberals see. They are obsessed with racism. These people think about racism more than the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. It's almost more important to them than oxygen.
I imagine there is a loop similar to this playing in their heads 24-7:
"Racism. Everyone else is racist. We must take a stand against racism. I bet he's a racist. I hope everyone knows I'm not a racist." Rinse. Repeat.

1st, 4th, and 5th Texas Infantry fought under Lee at Gettysburg with about a third killed, wounded or missing. Memorials were often promoted by UDC in honor of local units under his command.

If you’re thinking about this at 9am on a random, beautiful Friday, they’ve won.

I just think your point about this particular issue is retarded. But your reductionist logic is noted
