Here's am idea for the filthy hippies. Get in the time machine you're gonna use to go back and kill baby Hitler, and take a side trip and kill baby Lincoln. He won't be around to free the slaves, but at least he'll never get to OWN any.

Also, I need to save some money on my gardening and domestic services.

Win-Win!!

Stunning how we have been LIED TO by the leftists, who are now engaged in all out war against white non Hispanic Americans and States Rights.

Fomenting racial division and hate.

Bastards

That's the whole problem there are no adults!
Anywhere!

College/university presidents are very much a closed elite club. If you're a member no matter how bad you do. How much you damage the institution you are running you will always be given a “pass” and thus allowed to advance up to the next tier of academic presidential administration. Then eventually you hit the “million/year” salary club and you career is complete. The only thing that will knock you off that track is say something positive about DWMs - “dead white males” or require actual academic performance from protected minority groups. The governing boards (Board of Visitors, Board of Regents, etc.) do a terrible job of policing and maintaining standards. Usually you just distract these boards at state schools (They are political appointees{ i.e., meaning whores!} anyway!) with box seats at stadiums & football/basketball tickets and they soon lose interesting in any “policing”.

All of this stems from the primarily Federal demand that the number of "protected minorities" in the faculty & students on campus be increased dramatically. Letting it occur naturally isn't fast enough for "political class" they need to brag about it next election. So they do it artificially! That is what has been done over the last 45 years with a myriad of pseudo-academic disciplines like "fill-in-the-blank-with-your-favorite-oppressed-group" Studies programs. All having not even a hint of intellectual honesty or rigor. One of thing about these "studies programs" they can be set up with a flash of a pen! There are no previous time honored (and time tested!)standards to adhere to. Just create the documents get the budget to hire the staff & fill it with students who shouldn't be there. (I think that's part of their anger, deep down they - students & faculty know they are fakes!)

Also alumni at schools share some of the blame by not expressing their disgust (by say withholding money!).

Mary Todd came from a slaveholding family. A fairly wealthy and important one at that, which benefited Lincoln’s career in both law & politics.

Lincoln was also a “climate-change” denier

>Let me get you up to speed then. Lincoln owned slaves. He bought them from Trump’s great-grandfather. Lincoln got the purchase money from the Russians. And this whole chain of events set off Global Warming. right all along!<

Aha! So I was right all along! And they thought they would get away with it.

There’s some information that could stand more exposure.

Also the one on black confederates.

Wow!

Strong voice for a guy 101 years old.

Uncommon wisdom and intelligence on display, says a lot about how people today are actually becoming more stupid, despite having free instant unlimited access to information on almost any subject at hand via the internet.

Lee’s Father in law had freed his slaves, Lee was talking about doing the same.

Then came that Lincoln and the Federal Tyrants from DC, to slaughter the grandsons of the FOUNDERS!!

Still oppressing our freedom and stealing almost everything not nailed down under penalty of imprisonment to this day.

“says a lot about how people today are actually becoming more stupid, despite having free instant unlimited access to information on almost any subject at hand via the internet.”

Used to be a person could be informed, uninformed, or misinformed.

Now we have to worry about being disinformed, having our opinions manipulated by fake news.

Oh, but it’s so much more intricate than that, even.

Lincoln owned a pizza parlor. But it wasn’t JUST that; there was this new sport they called table tennis — sort of a Wimbledon shrunk down to tabletop size for the unwashed masses — and paddles, and balls, and a bar, and funky music, and lights, and orgies, and then somewhere along the line someone got little KIDS into the mix...and the next thing ya know the hookers are standing up chanting “hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo” as they dance naked on the bed and just drench the —

Ahem.

Well, uhhh...

...so it was really bad.

And then the South got righteously indignant, because Southern Baptists, yaknow, and they left the Union over the debauchery, and formed a Confederacy against child porn and pepperoni, and that table tennis thing. So then the Civil War broke out when the South fired on the brothel at Sumpter. The ping-pong tables were destroyed in the attack, and that was pretty much it; war was ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!

Did you ever wonder why Abraham Lincoln and Colonel Sanders are never in the same room at the same time?!

Those were my ancestors in Shelbyville?

Who knew?

Btw did you happen to notice all the flags that were there as in the USA flag

But don’t worry your allies in destroying the white South want that flag too next

I you’re happy dipshite

You and the rest of the NRO bootlickers here

Your partners in crime at the SPLC and Black Lives Matter and NRO and GOPe were all eager to destroy southern culture to date your own bigotry and self virtue puffery

I warned you and your fellow jackasses that it would not stop with your vendetta

And it hasn’t

Yet you still persist

You have no shame

One day when I have time I’m going to expose all of you in a public thread with your stupid quotes and south bashing and who you’ve allied with

I think the forum outside of we southerners need to see you guys for what you are

And to hear you howl

But you’re in luck

I’ve git five kids and a non working wife so I don’t have a lot of freeper time like those who live on the forum

They are coming for everything white

And you’re too stupid to see that or you just don’t care

Fire away I have to go to work

Yep...there were zero USA flags. Lots of Klan and Nazi symbols though.

Keep trying Bubba.

My guess: These are SJWs who need something to be indignant about. Apparently there weren’t any “good statues” (i.e., statues they could huff and puff and be indignant about) in their area. So they had to make do with what they had.

I did see one US flag - it was a patch sewn onto a jacket in the upside-down distress position. Not exactly the act of a patriot, lol.
