There’s a common quote, frequently attributed to G.K. Chesterton: “Don’t ever take a fence down until you know the reason why it was put up.”
In our modern context, this should be rephrased a bit: “Don’t try to pull down a statue if you have no idea who or what the statue was really about.”

And they are only paying 50 grand a year to learn this Tripe.
What time point?
When did he owned slaves, Snowflakes, he grew up in proverty and his had him go out as indentured servant. Snowflakes, should I get ConservaTeen to give you history lessons?
I’m no Lincoln lover by a long shot but this is nutz
His wife’s family had slaves
Course Marse Robert had same issue just a lot more slaves from the Custis aristocrats
These “people” are our future....
Bleak indeed....
Dang, I’m woefully ignorant.
I was aware of none of that.
Darned white devils, ruining the world.
This forum has tolerated and at times felt like encouraged the demonization of my heritage and ancestors as a southerner
The worst of the worst are on my homepage
We warned y’all we were just lowest hanging fruit but you they wouldn’t listen
No no..my ancestors wer Nazis and all that horsehit
Well now we warned you didn’t we
Hope you’re having fun feeling what we have for all these years
The real problem is some of these south haters here are lefties polluting the forum
And love seeing Lincoln and anyone else white in the crosshairs now too
They’ve been given a pass far too long
Not one is in the forum 300 btw
They are our “present”
Here’s the thing to watch.
These crazy leftist nutjobs will take virtually any person or incident and exploit it for their “Social Justice” goals.
It’s interesting to note that when there is clear evidence that a white cop wrongfully shoots a black person, they don’t protest. They don’t protest because they know the white cop will be prosecuted.
They only protest when there is uncertainty regarding what actually happened. They exploit this uncertainty by painting some grand conspiracy, a cover-up. This is where they get their followers.
They create uncertainty and distrust of authority among their followers by advancing a conspiratorial narrative which is designed to exploit the low information, intelligence and motivation to develop a common bond.
Did a so-called professor teach that? If so, he or she needs firing.
Now this is funny....
When will this cultural revolution stop?
I am afraid lots of people are going to die before this is over.
Liberals know that Lincoln was named for the car he was born in. His parents owned a Lincoln Continental and they didn’t make it to the hospital for baby Abe’s birth.
Lincoln always felt slighted as a result and that added to his peculiar behavior.
Listen and learn something

From the horses mouth.
We are where we are today directly due to Lincoln and the GODDAMNED REPUBLICAN PARTY, who destroyed States Rights and created the tyranny we currently suffer under.
Who be the slaves now?

From the horses mouth, States Rights.
So, universities are now catering to “special needs” students. OK...
Since they are now coming after Washington and Jackson, will the many African Americans change their names?
Amazing how things change in hindsight.
