The south rises again...

Why is the left so interested in attacking everything that speaks towards the confederate side of the civil war? For that matter, why is the left always so interested in starting tensions in the country over stupid ****?

Because starting a war to continue slavery was a bad idea :roll:

Looks to me like the Right is who's "starting tensions."

So what? That has nothing to do with remembering the past and treating it like it was a considerable part of American history.

Who wants to take down memorials? Oh right, the left. If the left didn't start this whole **** of taking down the memorials then the right wouldn't be protesting. Why does the left always start **** and then blame everything on the people that respond to it?
 
Why did everyone freak out about the destruction of the Roman ruins in Palmyra? For some it's a world heritage site but for others it represents the cruel dominance of the Roman Empire over a large portion of the world.
 
I'm finding it difficult to sympathize with the outrage of either side on this issue.

you are making crap up
 
Erasing history is a dangerous road to go down, this sounds like something you would expect to hear from a communist or a dictators country.

Read the article. The so-called memorials being removed are not mere remembrances but rather are celebratory. Why do you want to celebrate something as despicable as slavery and white supremacy?



The Left has brains. What more can be said?

Hardly. I don't think the left really cares all that much about the memorials at all or really believes their objections to the memorials all that much. They just figure they can win some political points with blacks by taking down some memorials. They don't really care about the people that like the memorials and they figure they can character assassinate them if they object, which just so happens to be what is happening now. Once they character assassinate those that object their political capital on the issue only expands as they can use it to say that their action is even more justified.
 
We know.

They do no such thing and you know it. It's a great talking point to say the memorials make heroes of characters in the civil war, but they don't.

Anyone that supports socialism isn't exactly someone that I would say has brains.
 
Are you just trying to pick a fight? Enjoy your flame bait thread, i'm out. You obviously have no interest in a civil discussion.


you made an assertion that history was being ignored you are incorrect its that simple. a monument will be built later on to display the confederate monuments in context.
 


the fact that you dont care about blacks feelings and you want to continue to glorify white nationalist rebellions is concerning.

:roll: Many blacks think the confederate flag is about white supremacy, while the majority of the country does not. Do we ignore the majority because some blacks disagree? According to people like yourself that is exactly what we should do and is in fact exactly what many states did. It's funny that democrats claim to be the party of democracy and yet defy the majority regularly.
