Treasonous traitors throughout history have always been viewed worse than the actual enemy... these clowns no different

I don't know who has more stupid fricking takes on this forum...you, C on Z, or TBoy.

If a 4 year period (and you could debate for decades on that topic) overrides the fullness of a man’s life...well, I guarantee many of those you admire don’t hold up to such equally applied scrutiny.

Reminds me of one of my favorite videos, which has been posted here before. A real student of history doesn’t try to erase it. He studies it, appreciates it, and learns from it.

Confederate veterans do a rebel yell

don’t forget EarlyCurler and dawgfan567489

Take the damn country back. There are approximately the same amount white people and black people on this earth. If you want to look at majorities looks at Asians, India and the middle east.

Change the fricking narrative.

A black person can call a white person the C word hard R without any consequences but if a white person uttered the N word in any form their life is getting canceled. Losing jobs, ruining lives.

frick that bitch... wait, aint nobody going there...

I mean what nation builds statues to honor traitors???

Every living American President at the time of the war, save for Martin Van Buren, either sided with the Confederates outright or had Southern sympathies. John Tyler was elected to the Confederate Congress. Millard Fillmore, a Yankee, supported George McClellan's campaign in 1864 and supported the immediate cessation of fighting in an attempt to preserve the Union. Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan, both Yankees, were openly sympathetic to the Confederacy.

I would make the argument that the real traitors are those who used the issue of slavery to centralize the power of the federal government to such a degree never intended by the Founding Fathers. The Confederacy's vision of America was more consistent with its founding ideals than the Union. To illustrate this point, which side do you think George Washington would have sided with? What about Thomas Jefferson? How about James Madison or James Monroe or Patrick Henry?

How tf is it legal ? The state let them do it?

Pretty sure Lee’s family was related to Washington so I think we know the answer to that one.

It’s amazing what people of color will settle for as “progress”. I would like to understand how removing a statue improves one’s fate in life.

Blacks have voted for over 60 years on policies that have destroyed the black family with affirmative action (government and people of color admitting they can’t compete on merit), welfare which replaced the in home father, and the destruction of public education in America.

Little is said on these issues and by most any meaningful metric, the African American is far worse off than the 1960s. Every decade as public education deteriorates with more SJW, CRT, etc and less math/reading/writing skills further erodes any real chance of advancement.

Many of their leaders would prefer symbolic victories like George Floyd monuments vs demanding real educational changes as a primary civil right.

Call me old fashioned but exhuming corpses is where I draw a pretty hard line.
