Alabama is tearing down confederate war memorials even though there is a state law prohibiting them from doing so. This is long overdue. The attorney general will sue the city....but so what. The memorial is gone.


Good riddance
 
Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. Davis’ birthday is still celebrated as a state holiday in Alabama.

The monument was removed on that day!!!!



What perfect irony
 
Birmingham has a black mayor who is a Democrat that supports the destruction of Alabama historical monuments.

And that is a wonderful thing. Mayor Woodfin is a hero
 
I have long suspected you are black. That accounts for your lying about me as well as your stated hatred of me.

My color matters to you very much.


That tells me everything
 
He has supported the confederacy and their fight to maintain slavery many times on here

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^lying here and he has been told he is lying even ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In no rational world, would there ever be a statue put up in honor of Jefferson Davis.

We are not in a rational world, but we are in one where reason wins out from time to time.

We both know that the majority of those statues weren't dedicated to honor Confederates but to intimidate black people.

Oh yeah... I know.

The fact that people get upset that a statue of Jefferson Davis is coming down is really telling though.
