Can’t theses guys put up some new plaque explaining that Kentucky had slaves, it was a major dividing issue and cause of the war, that it’s wrong, that it goes against the Declaration of Independence, and that we are making America great again now? Destroying anything in history reminds me of what the Taliban did shortly before 911 to those statutes in Afghanistan.

For those who don’t recognize the event or location of the photograph, it was taken in Afghanistan in 2001 prior to the 9/11 attacks. The event was the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan by the Taliban. Here is a link to their history and an account of their destruction:

By his turban color and beard, the man in the picture is Taliban, probably the commander of the forces who carried out the destruction of this world cultural heritage site.

Whoever he was, I hope he has long since been killed as all such criminals deserve.
