So we’re digging up dead klan leaders now? When are we digging up senator Byrd?

I first thought he meant some of [their] “racism and race-hate would be gone”. Now I realize he’s saying [our] “racism and race-hate would be gone”.

Amazing paradigm.

Once they’ve ridden the world of the historical/cultural memes they don’t like, what do you think is next on their list?

When they run out of dead white people to take a shove to, that just leaves the live ones.

he was a Confederate soldier, a KKK leader and a slave trader

...and DEMOCRAT.

When will the race pimps begin renaming and tearing down everything in W. Virginia named after Sen. Grand Kleagle Bird?

“If he’s gone, some of this racism and race-hate might be gone,” said Isaac Richmond with Commission on Religion and Racism.

He said hatefully. Oh the irony.

We really don’t want to make this a confrontation.

Like hell. They live for confrontation.

I'm sure he sincerely believes that, too.

I’m 100 percent anti-confederacy. I think it was an evil movement to its core. I don’t think the confederate flag, battle or otherwise, should fly over any government building in this country.

That being said, people need to chill out with the defacement of monuments. It’s ISIS-esque.

How 'bout your racism, Isaac. It'll take more than just a shovel to dig the racism out of your heart ...

When the US Constitution was ratified slavery was legal, even codified. So was the USA, in its nascent form, also evil in your opinion?

What the zombies don’t seem to grasp is that the more they attack us and our history the more we will believe that the confederates were correct

To varying degrees, the early republic was morally problematic. There is a big difference between that, however, and between a political ideology whose sole function is not only the preservation of enslavement of the black race, but the expansion of slavery as far and wide as possible. Yes, the confederacy—as a political movement and as a guiding ideology—was evil. I would expand on this to say its architects and its leaders were also evil.

Didn't Nathan Bedford Forrest repent of his KKK/racist views?

In fact, didn't I read that there were a significant number of Blacks that attended his funeral/memorial service?

Ok you are a new to Free Republic, tell me what is your position on the repeal of DADT back in 2010? Were you in favor of it or against? Are openly gay persons serving in the US military a good thing.

Commission on Religion and Racism?

I’m going to start one called

“WHY MUST MY WHITE WIFE OR DAUGHTERS BE GANGED RAPED AND/OR MURDERED IF THEIR CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS IN BLACK PARTS OF TOWN?”

a long title but gets the point across

If digging up Bedford will stop that then I’ll pay for the disinterment and they can bury him and poor Mrs Forrest in my back pasture where their remains will be honored by
