I care, and I’ve gotten really into the South and its history lately, which may not have happened without all this stuff. Hope other Southerners are doing the same.

As I mentioned before this started after the civil war. Black people at that time began to experience progress economically and in politics when running for office. Multiple things have transpired during that time that negatively affected black people. Here are a few examples that contributed to this broad movement.
Great Compromise of 1877 - federal troops were pulled from multiple southern states as part of the deal of Rutherford B. Hayes being president. This ultimately led to the beginning of the Jim Crow era.
Isaiah T. Montgomery and the 1890 Mississippi Constitutional Convention - Isaiah T. Montgomery, who was the founder of the all black town of Mound Bayou MS participated in this constitutional convention and ultimately supported the version of the MS constitution at the time that ultimately disenfranchised black people from voting. When this constitution survived legal challenges in the Supreme Court, other states began to adopt similar measures.

Clown World. I say we remove Saint George Floyd statue. It bothers me so in the clown world it must be removed.
Well yeah? I mean didn't he commit violent crimes and hold a gun to pregnant woman?
These history professors on the left love painting Robert E Lee as a ravenous "traitor", why does St. George get treated like he cured cancer?
Oh thats right, hipocracy

It’s definitely time someone learned about the lily white movement. What you talk about is far from a partisan issue.
It’s not about R’s vs D’s. It about the establishment vs the non establishment. Blacks are nothing more than a tool used by the establishment to create divisiveness . Do you actually think the establishment gives a shite about blacks? You people fall for these tactics EVERY time. Y’all are flat out allowing the “lily white” people to completely erase and rewrite the history of what they did. Many blacks are still on the plantation…they just don’t realize it. Their masters are the government, and they government gives them JUST enough to keep them breathing.

You better get started on taking down all of the founding fathers, then. Looks like you've got a head start on that, though.

I noticed you left Lyndon Johnson's New Deal and Great Society, whose negative affects on the black community has far outweighed the other 2 you mentioned, and is championed and continued today by your Democrat party.

Correct. Primary among them being black people voting for democrats who continue to support the same policies that have negatively affected the black population since the 1960s.
Unless of course you want to tell me the current situation among the inner city urban black population is because of white people?

Black people largely had limited access to voting at time period I mentioned. This had nothing to do with the 1960s or later.

Policies that have absolutely DESTROYED generations of the black family. But they don’t see it. They just keep on voting for it.
Neither one of these men have done a damn thing to improve the black community. One has been in the senate since 1973.

When the dramatic fall of he poverty rate was intercepted by entitlement legislation and stopped falling. The "community" was fed shitty PR and became addicted to tyrants who have done nothing for them.

Obviously not.
Posted on 9/8/21 at 11:08 am to GetCocky11
yes.
The lessons about Lee's decision making process before the Civil War should not be forgotten.

No one "celebrated" Lee. He's a major part of American history... well at least the real part of history and not the made up one you probably know.
One of the dumbest fricking things I’ve ever seen
How many statues of Benedict Arnold or General Cornwallis do we have? How many public statues of Aaron Burr do we have?
All of those guys played a huge part in American history. But you build statues to celebrate people.
“They’re erasing history”
Did you learn about the civil war looking at fricking statues? No. This statue isn’t even contemporary to the civil war.
People will say shite like this when it’s a statue that literally puts the person up on a pedestal.
