Black Lives Matter protesters in Charlottesville shroud Thomas Jefferson statue

About 100 students, faculty and community members – some invoking "Black Lives Matter" chants – showed up at the Charlottesville, Va. university and placed a black tarp on a monument honoring Thomas Jefferson, a U.S. Founding Father and a founder of the university.
quote:
Last month, plans to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee turned violent, resulting in the death of Heather Heyer, who was there to protest white supremacist groups. The deadly protest set off a national debate over what to do with hundreds of historic monuments across the South that honor the Confederacy.
quote:
At the rally on Tuesday, several people climbed atop the Jefferson monument and placed signs on it that called him a "racist" and "rapist." Students also chanted "No Trump, No KKK, no racist U-V-A," according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

If we take down one more statue, they'll stop after. They promise.
Only one more and that's it.

Fire the faculty members & expel the students. Other faculty members and student should not be allowed to be held hostage by terrorists.

Welp, time for all MLK statues and street signs to come down. Eye for an eye.

This sums up all of the ignorance right here. How does one fight for affordable housing? What is the outcome of that fight? Let us live in a house we can't afford for free?

Well, they are stuck with President Trump, about 2500 idiots in the KKK, and UVa is still and always will be the child of Thomas Jefferson.
An attack on Jefferson is an attack on the Constitution, and that's what they really want. Destroy the constitution and install a communist government. That's what they want to do folks, and they are using "racism!" as their vessel.

The real question is how does tearing down a statue put you any closer to those accomplishments?

Part of this is the fault of the very people in charge of Jefferson's legacy.
I visited Monticello 18 days ago. The amount of pure propaganda about slavery and Jefferson as a slave holder was staggering.
This ignorant (White woman) tour guide literally said, "without them (slaves) none of us would be here." I literally laughed out loud.

Trump: "I wonder: Is it George Washington next week, and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself — where does it stop?"
Media: That will never happen..

It's not enough to say these were flawed people and leave it at that. We now have to say they were evil and just so happened to do a few good deeds in their lives.

This is, and always has been, the end game of progressive liberals.
They are too stupid, foolish, and ignorant to understand that they are literally destroying the freedoms that make America great.

Well stated. These students need to study history and try to understand what their agenda will ultimately yield if accomplished.

I think this is a coordinated effort to deconstruct our country and entire way of life. Going from the Civil War to our founding fathers, these people will next try to eliminate the Constitution. It's been happening for a while with liberal judges who want to re-write the Constitution in their own twisted image, but we'll see a public effort in the next year or so to scrap it and start over with some Marxist substitute that punishes dissenting thought (from a leftist perspective) and eliminates key rights altogether.

White history and white culture must be destroyed.

Just Thomas Jefferson we swear!
And maybe George Washington, but that's it!
Possibly Andrew Jackson too, but then we're done!
You know, FDR and Truman did some really terrible stuff during WWII, so maybe them as well, but that's it, we promise!
