Next will come the burning of books that aren’t considered “woke” enough. Hide your copies of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn under your bed.

As we have seen with the recent attacks on statues and monuments regarding those that had nothing to do with the confederacy, this has nothing to do with some scholarly debate about the legitimacy of the confederacy and everything to do with a Marxist revolution. But some useful idiots on the Right will cheer.

Racial oppression has been established and institutionalized by the Democrat party. It is the sole source of racism in the US. The abolition of the Democrat party will end racism in America.

Build new monuments. Put them next to the old ones. Don’t tear the old ones down.

Racism in the US is the institutionalized offspring of the Democrat party. Only by abolishing the Democrat party will racism be ended. Racism is politically grounded. Its perpetuation reinforces the authority of the Democrat party. In every single case racism is at its most virulent expression in Democratically controlled cities. Without racism the Democrat party will fail.

Yes, put a statue of General Sherman in every Georgia town between Atlanta and Savannah. How are those folls going to learn about the March to the Sea witjout statues.

First they came after the Nazi symbols, and I said nothing......

Now they want to tear down the monuments to the brave warriors who resisted the War of Northern Confiscation of the South’s valuables.

General Sherman, you bastard.

DAMN you Al Sharpton. My ancestors died to free slaves. How dare you besmirch their memory. Even the Confederates freed their slaves.
The Democrat party has been the sole source of racial oppression in the US. By keeping the black community under their grinding heel Democrats have sustained their power.

Donald Trump has provided jobs and dignity to the black community. That alone is overthrowing Democrat autocracy. The unrest we see is the death throes of the Democrat party.

I’d love to see someone put their knee to Sharpton’s neck.

Most slaves in the colonies were white indentured servants, most of whom never became free.

News flash for George Shepherd and CNN. Georgia has a law prohibiting the removal of any confederate monument.

No every confederate monument should be left alone.

Should we blow up the Crazy Horse Monument? He was at war with the US and killed Americans

Every Statue of Lee should have a statue of Grant accepting Lee’s surrender alongside it.


Was watching a YouTube about Grant’s Tomb in NYC. In side, there is an image of Grant accepting Lee’s surrender. Wonder when they’ll demand it be removed.
