Does this mean that only Arthur Ashe would be left?
What about the Constitution? A lot of the men who signed it were slaveowners.

So you’re OK with one statue torn down.....
....then you’re OK with ALL meeting the same fate as that is what it leads to.
We have a Confederate statue here that is being guarded night and day.
No doubt.....NO DOUBT....the townspeople would tie themselves to it to prevent defacing or destruction of it.
We once were a nation ruled by law, today it seems we are ruled by mobs. All is well and good Mr. Mayor when you agree with the mob, but one of these days the mob will be after you and there will be no law to protect you.
World gone mad.
Visited here once. Does this go too? (Actually it’s National Park Service...probably not. I think Trump even donated his first year salary to NPS)

White House of the Confederacy
>> The White House of the Confederacy has been designated a National Historic Landmark
In addition to its historic interest as the seat of the Confederacy during the Civil War, the home and attached museum rank as the most outstanding repository of Confederate memorabilia in the United States.
What’s next? The WWII Memorial, the Marine Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Wall, Lincoln’s Memorial, Jefferson’s Memorial, Grant’s Tomb, maybe even plow under Arlington Cemetery. These ass holes will turn this nation into another Soviet Union, North Korea, Nazi Germany, Iran, etc. before long.
I’m offended by the mayor. He needs to go.

It was just a matter of time before Stoney went after the monuments. Monument Avenue is famous & a tourist attraction so he can say bye bye to a lot of tourist dollars when Monument Avenue becomes “Politically Correct Avenue”. He should take a lesson from Charles Barkley & work on the falling down schools, unaccredited schools, & teacher shortage in Richmond instead of wasting time & taxpayer money on statues.
Just a couple of thoughts. There is no satisfying the iconoclasts. Once they win on one set of statues and monuments, there will be another and another, until you can’t even have a smiley face on display without “triggering” somebody. This isn’t about statues and monuments. It’s about power. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton have corralled a lot of power, thus sucking it away from newer players who have struck out to make a name for themselves in the grievance business. They are, in effect, building a brand. This is about community organizing. Obama empowered these people by bringing them to the White House; the same sort of empowerment Clinton gave to Arafat, thus killing any chance for a peace deal. An invite to the White House creates instant notoriety that can be leveraged for whatever your agenda is. Now that Obama is gone, the field is clear for new grievance competitors, it’s like the death of the dinosaurs created a whole new ecological scene ripe for the taking. The new guys are leveraging the Resist movement and the anti-Trumpism to make a whole new type of political animal; same as the old one but bigger, toothier and more cunning. The only way to stop this is to come down hard, and with permanent, forceful corrective actions. Arrest them and throw them in jail for a year before their trial. Then attempt to keep them off the streets as long as possible. If we don’t do this, it may spiral out of control.
The other thing to do is determine who is financing this and shut them down. Permanently. Use RICO and terrorist laws. The tools are there. We need officials with the gonads to use them and judges who will make them stick.
Time for the Richmond Mayor to be afraid to answer the door, drive his car, or be seen outside.
Really.
Nothing else works for leftists.
Levar Stoney - democrat - Mayor of Richmond.
Close mayor’s race - next time park your guilt and vote Republican...
I think its past time that the democraps were punished for their insanity at the ballot box.
Pretty obvious to me what needs to be removed here. It’s not really a “what”,but a “who” & there is more than one.
Offensive, and needs to be removed. By that standard, I’d say a recall is in order.
The City of Richmond is 50 percent black. It used to be closer to 60 percent but gentrification has been doing its thing. The white population is over 40 percent but a lot of these are idiot liberals. The local demographics are a weak spot as far as historic preservation is concerned. Monument Avenue is onel of the most beautiful streets in America. Maybe Monument Avenue needs to secede from Richmond.
