The NBF equestrian monument is the most magnificent monument in Memphis. It was commissioned to a french sculptor, entirely with private funding. After it was shipped across the Atlantic and brought up the Mississippi river by riverboat, the 1905 dedication drew 30,000 people to Nathan Bedford Forrest Park.

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.

Monument inscription: "Those hoof beats die not upon fame's crimson sod, But will ring through her song and her story; He fought like a Titan and struck like a god, And his dust is our ashes of glory." (Written by Mrs. Virginia Frazer Boyle)
