Oh, I know. That's why I found it hilarious that those people that tore down the statue in Durham were kicking and spitting and flipping the bird to an inanimate object like it was "ALIVE". How delusional does one have to be to act like that?
Most of these people are white. They make the mistake of assuming black people are as much a snowflake as they are.

Let's be real about the people that want to keep these statues. It's not about respecting and honoring history. How can it be when they expressly said honoring them with statues would create the division we see today?
Get your sensible logic out of here!

Right. White-guilt. The one black guy on the video playing the guitar was at least smart enough to just throw a leg up on top instead of being a an idiotic caucasian kicking a metal statue.

If we're going to remove honors given to Confederate officers, we need to stop naming vessels after communist shitheads like John Murtha and Ted Kennedy

Imagine this scenario...
You are married and you get separated from your wife.
During this time you date another woman. You put this woman's picture up in your house.
You and your wife get back together. Should the picture of your ex-girlfriend still stay there?
Imagine telling your wife: "We need to keep it to remind us of our history and how far we've come."

Except the analogy would only apply here, if your current wife let your ex's photo sit by the bedside for 50 years without saying a word, before finally asking you to take it away.

Obviously at the time, the atrocities committed by the north were still fresh in the minds of southerners and monuments weren't necessary, but now monuments are needed more than ever so we don't forget and don't let our guard down

Seems to me that only liberals think this.
The rest of us just want everyone to get along and go about their business.

That was as you point out in 1869. Most civil war monuments were erected years after that. The ceremonies were attended by both union and confederate veterans as sign of national healing. Their removal and destruction is now symbolic of a deep national divide and revisionist history.
Inanimate objects such as statues of men who lived 150 years ago and whose actions at the time were viewed as honorable and just by even those who opposed them in battle are not creating a division. The division is being fostered by the political elites/establishment to keep simpletons such as you distracted from the fact they are shoving it your behind.

yeah, let's say she catches you trying to sneak around with her again.
If she wasn't bothered by it before, she's pissed now.
That's what Dylan Roof did, he highlighted something allot of people overlooked. But once the history was revealed you can't keep it... if you want to stay with your wife.

OK. I promise not to build a Confederate monument.

What did he say about attempting to erase and revise the past? Because that's what liberals are trying to do.
