...which would mean, exactly as I noted previously, a yankee sympathizer, as in one who does not sympathize with the south but instead sympathizes with the north. What is so difficult about that concept for you?
All I can say is that I'm not aware of any.
Your own lack of awareness is insufficient in determining whether or not an event happens external to that awareness. Like it or not, there are yankee vandals out there too.
But still a southerner. Like I've said before I've given up trying to understand why you southerners do anything. But a similar statue up North probably wouldn't have anything to worry about. Can you say the same about the Lincoln statue in Richmond?
