Just how damn stupid can you get. If you want a black person’s perspective on the matter, he’s one that makes sense:

The notion that the Constitution considered a Black person as "three fifths of a person" is a d@mned lie.

The slaveowners hypocritically wanted their slaves--whom they considered mere property rather than human beings--to be counted in the census to give thim more representatives in the House of Representatives. The anti-slavery people quite correctly pointed out this hypocrisy and that its only result would be to increase the power of the slaveholders in Congress. They didn't want them counted at all.

"Three fifths of all other persons" was a compromise.

Removing civil war memorials isn’t about making a liberal feel better. It’s about making others feel more miserable and argumentative.
