So? Never stopped us before. Americans love taking down statues when the shoe fits, always have.

Apparently, it's ok for black men to use the "N" word and call black women bitches and hos, but they are offended by statues!

Personally I'd like for the monuments to stay its a reminder of history and a slippery slope to remove them. But I've always enjoyed going to Vicksburg and touring the Civil War sites, etc. But I can underatand the challenge of trying to explain to your black child that the man being honored was fighting for state rights which included keeping slavery.

Are Republicans so stupid everything has to be explained to them?

Battlefields and museums? Sure. Public squares and parks? Not so much.

If this is the case, you and the like-minded individuals have some serious confidence issues. In no way will removing statues help.

When will we get MLK statues that discuss his philandering and plagiarizing information for his thesis?

That is why they were erected though. Disgruntled losers in the south wanted to remind blacks who was boss.

Not everything; just the stupid shite that make you Dems cry about inanimate objects.
