John C. Calhoun wasn't a Confederate. He died over a decade before the war. These people are insane.

So if someone supported the right to self-determination and to choose the form of government one lives under they should be branded as racist and purged from all social consciousness.

The headline should be "House votes to remove MANY Democrat statues from Capitol"

Just a matter of time before the Dems propose changing the name of our capital because the guy it is named after, owned slaves.

The vote comes after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy accused Democrats on the House Floor of trying to hide their party's 'shameful' racist past.



Those men were southerners, and our ancestors. We should be proud of them.

McCarthy is an embarrassment

Also, the “you’re the real racists” is a losing argument. It may be true, but you’re playing into the Democrats hand. You’re acknowledging and endorsing their argument.

And they don’t care if they’re hypocritical.

We need to argue, accurately and with good reason, that we are the least racist society on earth.

It’s that Republicans today have proven themselves to be pro Confederacy and for the most part anti-Civil Rights.

You’re disowning your ancestors.

Shame on you. Shame.

Will they be replaced by statues of Trayvon, Saint Floyd of Fentanyl and Michael "Gentle Giant" Brown?

There’s a big difference between being anti black and completely indifferent towards blacks. Black people do a great job of convincing other races to be indifferent towards them daily. They don’t need any help from political parties.

There aren’t any memorials to Hitler in Germany, Hussein in Iraq, or South Vietnamese in Communist Vietnam.

I’m as Republican and Southern as it gets. I’ll vote for Trump again in the primaries and for President. But it really doesn’t make sense to keep around statues of people who lost a war fighting largely for slavery.
