this is simply people looking for any opportunity or avenue to push racism, and then using the ignorance and emotional nature of their constituents against them by confusing them as to what these actions mean. it's manipulation and the leaders who do this know this 100% and are scum for doing it


I agree.

but understands where the other side is coming from, this is such an illogical "argument."

The pyramids are an archaeological site built by slave labor.

These monuments honor/venerate men who fought for states' rights to continue the practice of slavery




Extending this argument out logically you should dismantle our country.

We slaughtered and obliterated an entire race of people to keep our country, fought a revolution and specifically said we'll keep slaves during it and no one but white male landowners get rights, then said blacks count as 3/5ths of a person for population purposes but never get rights or to vote.

We also took rights from or refused to give rights to Italians, Irish, Chinese, Women, Gays, Bastard children, handicapped, retards, children, old people, poor people, etc.......

Where do you stop it? Where do you draw the line?

You think any native Americans want statues of Washington? Or Jackson?

You can find a reason to be upset about any part of history. It's history.

You think the gay community loves MLK, Jr?

You think the southern historians love Lincoln?


History is history. Learn from it. Study it. Honor it. It's where you came from.

Things don't happen in a vacuum. Different times have different standards.

Should no one study and Greek or Roman history because they allowed pedophilia?

This was never about racism or slavery or any of that window dressing bullshite.

This is about power, misplaced anger, reverse racism, and political gain. Nothing else.

Anyone who actually thinks the powers that be removed these monuments for some bullshite humanitarian purpose needs to be smacked in the head.

OK, two things:

1. Mary Morris is a worthless race-baiting troll.

2. Mary Morris is a barely functioning retard. She says she knows that contraband is the importing/exporting of illegal goods, yet slavery was LEGAL at the time her ancestors were imported to the colonies. Logic dictates that the slaves were, by definition, NOT contraband.

One of the last things that come to mind when I hear the word contraband are black people. This is so foolish

What a miserable life this person lives.


I'm sure she lives a happy life. I'm also sure she isn't genuinely offended by this. That being said, these people see it as their mission in life to change the world, and for them, this is the easiest way for them to feel like they are accomplishing that.

She may be a disgusting fricking person, but I doubt she is miserable, upset, or offended.

Someone check her purse, bet there is some contraband in there.

Thankfully the rest of the council (including black members) didn't fall for this stupidity. Luvertha August specifically spoke out against it.

The interesting thing about the mayors race is that as SFP already pointed out the city is basically split 50/50, but Carter was literally the worst possible candidate to make it to the runoff. He has so many enemies even in the black community that I didn't see any way he could win. Had Marshall Semien made it through (he and Carter were a percentage point apart in the primary) I honestly think he might have won.

Yes Mary yall were. Victors of the tribal wars in Africa sold the losing tribes off as slaves to Jewish businessmen from Europe.

Marshall could have been sold to SLC and Dana and Landry could have endorsed him without issue

Marshall's problem is that he has his own optics/bad blood issues in the black community. nobody thought he'd do that well in the primary

Lake Charles wasn't even incorporated until 1861. we have no major history associated with slavery or even any major racial incidents,

I can remember a racial incident from when I was a kid in the late 60s. There was a plot of land near the college where the black students would hang out and party on the weekends. Well the land was sold and a restaurant was built there. The black students weren't upset that they lost their party spot, they were upset because of what the restaurant built there was named...The restaurant was a Sambo's.

What are they going to try to rename next? Lynchburg, TN?

There actually was a push to rename a building named "Lynch Memorial Hall" at Lebanon Valley College which was named after a person. Bc only black people were ever lynched in the history of forever.

Only racists use words like "interjected"
