Are they this stupid?

Some Black Supremacists may well be stupid; race-bigotry is stupid in general. But ALL Black Supremacists, including Black Supremacist Angela Rye are evil and destructive.

CNN needs to come down, get ‘em off the air now. They offend me, that should be all that is required.

Ya think the left will go after this one?

I am trying to understand how people get so worked into a lather of hate and violence about symbols of PAST wrongs while ignoring(and unconcerned by) symbols of PRESENT wrongs. Slave owners 1800's-bad. Slave owners now(Muslim countries=tolerated as diversity. People in chains in 1800's-abominable. People(women) draped in shrouds as property of men who will abuse and kill them-admirable as diversity.

It's easy to attack PAST wrongs, and PAST villains;they can't threaten you now. But-standing against invading barbarians who admit to wanting your submission is dangerous. Always know the end game-always.

Confederate Memorial controversy[edit]
After the Charleston church shooting in the summer of 2015, Stone Mountain was the subject of a political debate related to the removal of symbols of the Confederacy.[17] This controversy was stimulated by a movement in other states to remove the Confederate battle flag from public areas.

A proposal was made to remove the Confederate carving from Stone Mountain Park.[18] However, according to Georgia state law, no one is allowed to alter the figures carved upon the stone face. Any changes within the state park would require approval by the state legislature.[19]

On October 11, 2015, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the park is considering a proposal of a permanent “Freedom Bell” honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. and the line “Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia” as part of King’s “I Have A Dream” speech of 1963.[20] The proposed monument is inspired by a bell-ringing ceremony held in 2013 honoring the 50th anniversary of King’s speech.

Next, after they tear down all Washington and Jefferson statues, some state names will need changing for sure! Lets see, Washington State will need a name do over. How about Far Left State of Stupid? All counties named Washington and Jefferson will have to go also!

[TigersEye]

Let the destruction of American history be the Democrat rallying cry!

“Do they really think it’s wise to start bad mouthing our Founders? Really? Are they this stupid?”

Of course....not only that you have to DESTROY NATIONAL PRIDE in order for a one world government to take over.

[shanover]

Here we are. Watcha gonna do bout it Crackers?

[PSUGOP]

As repugnant as slavery is, African Americans are still better off than Africans. AA’s today should be thanking their forefathers and mothers for enduring what they had to endure.

While the past is ugly, we are all better off.

Does anyone on the left have an original thought? Suddenly all the statues have to come down? #Liberalismisamentaldisorder.

[LouAvul]

What do they have to fear? They've been spouting unAmerican crap ever since that commie pig Walter Cronkite destroyed our will to win the Vietnam war, and they've done nothing but prosper.

Conservative crackers are not a force to be reckoned with anymore. And nothing's changed.

I feel like Winston in “1984”. Some quotes:

1. War is peace; freedom is slavery; ignorance is strength

2. Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

3. In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.

4. And when memory failed and written records were falsified—when that happened, the claim of the Party to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could exist, any standard against which it could be tested.

5. And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn’t really mean it. But that isn’t true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there’s no other way of saving yourself and you’re quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You don’t give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself.

“George Washington was a slave owner. We need to call them out for what they are, whether we think they were protecting American freedom or not.

The Democrat Party supported KKK, lynchings and blocked school integration. They must change the name now!

[nopardons]

The Dems in Congress, FOR SEVERAL DECADES, refused to for FOR the Bills, that the minority GOPers, had proposed to 1) stop lynchings 2) give Civil Rights to the Negros.
