Maybe it's just me but i honestly dgaf about any confederacy symbolism or flag being taking down. Im always down for southern pride and southern heritage, but the confederacy was a whole different animal. Proudly dehumanized a whole race and got their arse whipped in a war

Now, im not gonna start a petition or beg or cry about seeing a confederate flag or anything like a bleeding heart liberal would, but I’m really not gonna lose sleep about a confederate flag being taken down either lol

Don't think any statue should be destroyed though. Throw it in a museum.

Look, some of these statues were put up in the 1950s during the height of the civil rights movements as forms of intimidation...that’s kinda fckd up.

That being said they don’t give a fck about the distinction, it’s all racist and they want it all gone.

Here's a secret. It's not stopping at the monuments. Take a look at where "Tarrant" County gets it's name. Then enjoy the fact that it has been called Tarrant County for 170 years....because changing the name of the county is the next goal. Give an inch.....

Maybe one day folks will realize that the left is not actually interested in solutions to "problems." They're just invested in always having a "problem" to "solve"

Probably not. There's definitely some overreach in this hyper-censoring trend. I was just speaking on Confederate symbolism in this instance.

Can't believe there are people out there who don't understand this. This is about the destruction of American culture and ultimately this nation.

By taking down symbolism of a nation that literally fought against the United States of America?

Also: It's hilarious how badly the far right are losing the culture war these days.

I'm not a fan of liberals anymore than anyone here.

Just always found it weird how delicate the feelings are of the posters of the OT who whine and moan about muh Confederacy.

I'm not down for the destroying of statues of historical significance though. Don't get it twisted
