Have you ever read Lincoln's opinions on the subject?



Does it change what Lee said?

If these statues were taken down because it was offensive to remember what happened, then wouldn't reading about them in a public school be equally offensive


You are right, we should just remove them from the history books too. What were they thinking?

I'm going to break into the warehouse overnight, take a piss on that statue and post it here on the OT. Not because I care about the statue issue, just to piss off you statue snowflakes.

No. You perverted the frick out of what he said. Even so, it's also not a reason to tear down the statue.

But using your logic, why not tear down a of Lincoln's monuments as well?

You ever seen what MLK said about the gays? Tear them down.

Ever seen Washington's opinions on women or blacks?

Ever seen any American founder's opinions on Native Americans?

Ever seen any WWII general's opinions on Japanese?

Ever seen the countless atrocities committed under the American Flag? Burn them all.

Read up on freedom and the lack thereof of slaves and the indentured. And read up on the treatment of the "negroes"

No the statues are being removed because a bunch of hillbillies continued to use the Confederate symbols as a symbol of hate instead of treating them as part of US history...so unfortunately for those who have some emotional attachment to an inanimate object that they have little ties to, they are being punished for the actions of a small group...the actual war isn't what is actually offensive, it's those that used it as a symbol of racism that make it offensive.

Would you erect a statue of Hitler or Rommel in front of the JCC and justify it as celebrating the history of WWII?

To be fair more than one former slave felt they were better off as slaves than freemen.

Again, you cannot compare Lee to Hitler. It makes you look literally retarded.

Actually, they're being removed because Mitch saw it as a cheap and easy way to beef up his next political campaign.
