Leave the south alone! You don’t like living there? Come up to Chicago and Detroit - the weather is fine.

God bless him. He is a hero and a man in the face of these iconoclastic racists.
These vandals are not out to "fight racism". This is part of an ongoing campaign to try to make whites feel guilty about the entire narrative of southern heritage. The end game usually ends up being a demand for reparations and affirmative action (with no timeline or limits). The trickle-down effects of this racial hate-mongering are black-youth attacks on innocent whites, entire generations of institutionalized racism and more white flight from cities such as Memphis, reinforcing the spiraling cycle of higher taxes, a reduced tax base, and deteriorating infrastructure.
Memphis is Detroit, in slow motion. It could turn into Baltimore, with the right spark (such as a police shooting).
All the recent racially motivated attacks in Memphis have been black-on-white. Colin Flaherty has documented this at WND.com. Most of the overall crime in Memphis is black-on-black, often gang-related (Crips, Bloods, Gangster Disciples, and MS-13). Illegal aliens are often victims of this violence, too, because they work for cash and are therefore targets for robberies, break-ins, carjackings and home invasions. They are safer targets since they are less likely to report crimes. But like other cities, there have been a rash of mob-violence attacks at malls, a Kroger parking lot, and in theater parking lots in Memphis.

No good is going to come from this jihad against the Confderate flag.
Here’s a good tidbit on the rest of the Forrest story.
General Nathan Bedford Forrest, upon his remarkable conversion to Christianity after his Klan leadership days, addressing a black citizens’ group in Memphis in the 1870s: “I came here with the jeers of some white people, who think that I am doing wrong. I believe I can exert some influence, and do much to assist the people in strengthening fraternal relations, and shall do all in my power to elevate every man, to depress none. I want to elevate you to take positions in law offices, in stores, on farms, and wherever you are capable of going. I came to meet you as friends.... When I can serve you I will do so. We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together.”
“It’s not necessary. I think they are trying to symbolize that we are a bunch of vandals,” he said.
Guess what. You are.

I repeat my question from yesterday of the same subject: If they’re forcing us to dig up dead Klan leaders when are we digging up Senator Byrd?

Actually, Forrest was an interesting personality. The early Klan was a self-defense organization. When it “turned bad,” Forrest no longer supported it.
Attacking the graves and monuments of the past is a cowardly displacement activity. A displacement activity is when one takes out bad emotions against defenseless people or things: kicking a table, hitting a pet, &c.
If you don’t admire Forest, or the Confederate flags, then keep your opinion to yourself, or talk about it. But you have no right to vandalize, to interrupt a public speaker (in the guise of “free speech”!), or run someone off the road to his death.
In general, the kindest way to treat people is often merely to leave them alone. Simple enough. I wish also that our government would learn that lesson!
Up date in my local paper today, Arkansas Dem-Gaz, Memphis City council going to sell the Forrest Statue and the National KKK wants to put in a bid.
