Why do we need southern Confederate statues?

Isn't it enough for black people to be not reminded of their oppressed history? How is having a statue of Robert E. Lee a good thing?

I'm sure there is a more ineffective way of phrasing this question, but you'd have to try really hard.

As a black person with zero love for the confederacy, I've got more important shite to worry about.
Would rather the confederate shite be in a museum context, but meh, not losing sleep over any random monument.

Because I can't take this wonderful painting given to me by my grandfather
to make in to a mural.

See, OP, this is an actual black mans opinion. and like the rest of contributing America, we don't really care.
But when you start grandstanding and making a show of it, it better fricking reap dividends (which it hasn't), every city it's happened in has continued their awful crime.

why do we need shite like safe spaces and affirmative action?

Midnight is when the statues come alive and can get you.

So take them down. What's the outrage?

Pretty sure black people like living in the South more than the North, generally, so they should like Confederate statues as much as anybody else who lives here.

Who’s paying you to post here, seriously? You live in Boston and decided to signed up, a month ago, on a Southern school’s football message board to post on the political board? I don’t buy it but someone bought you. Also, Boston is one of the most racist cities I have ever been in. You fricks love to point fingers but never look in the mirror

2 REASONS!
1- I love actual History
2- It pisses you off.

Well the message is racial harmony and peace.. so we should see empirical results, right?

"those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"
Are you this fricking stupid?

I mean honestly, before a couple years ago absolutely no one walked by a confederate statue and thought about ripping it down. Not a soul. Then some loser started a twitter campaign and everyone jumped on board like a bunch of damn lemmings. It’s just sad.

Cut him some slack. There’s not enough Doug Flutie highlights to make it through the night.

Nobody thought anything of them until some leftist reactionary told them they should. Then they dutifully mustered offense.
