Yes, will anti-white racists ever be dug up and moved to some less honorable cemetery somewhere, their monuments and statues taken down?

I think we all know the answer to that.

These are major moves that should be blocked by hundreds of thousands of bodies

I truly, truly hope and pray these people will be forever accursed and pay a thousandfold in this life and the next for their disgusting and wicked acts against the defenseless legacy and memory of the deceased. I personally condone and fully support any reasonable act of vengeance in this regard.

I was reading a blog that mentioned that they took down a stained glass window that had Confederate symbolism on it at the Washington Cathedral. Do you know that the remains of that well known racist, segregationist president Woodrow Wilson is entombed at the cathedral? Hmm. Think they will do something about that? Think Princeton will change the name of its well known school of international affairs bearing his name? I’m sure there are a bunch of lefty grad students who are condemning the Confederate flag but are studying in Europe under Fulbright Scholarships, which bear the name of the well known US senator and arch-segregationist J. William Fulbright and mentor of Bill Clinton. Think they’ll change the name and will those students give back their scholarships? When it comes to racism the Democrats have a long and sordid history on it. What’s going on now is their attempt to hide it, revise the historical narrative, and blame the GOP for racism today.

This is insane. Isn’t there a law against this? If not, there is certainly a long history and tradition of having respect for those who are at rest. This is gruesome and disrespectful.

This is depraved. They keep referring to “symbols.” A body is not a symbol. This will not end well.

This is an ANTI-American move to remove our landmarks, ISIS style using a faux excuse to do the job. It has absolutely nothing to do with the deaths of the black church members. This is liberal progressives doing what they do to destroy the nation one brick at a time.

Why not put his remains on public display, such as was done to the remains of Oliver Cromwell when James II came back into power in 1660?

I’m not a confederate-phile, but every natural instinct tells me this is a vile act. And intended to be so.
