The conversation about monuments — particularly which should stay and which should go — has eclipsed nearly all other conversations in the week following a rally-turned-near-riot in Charlottesville, Virginia.

CNN's Kate Bolduan spoke to liberal analyst Angela Rye on Thursday, asking her whether the uproar was truly just about the monuments.

Rye claimed that the problem ran much deeper than that:

..

Rye concluded her argument by asserting that America was very close to once again being a nation of slavery: “We definitely need to learn about it so that we don't repeat it, because we're very close to repeating it right now.”

Thanks for this insightful reminder;

After the Civil war, there was a deliberate effort to re-unite the country. Very quickly, all rebellious states were restored to full political status. The confederate soldiers were declared American veterans. They were given the right to declare their war heroes, American heroes. These things were done by people who lived through, and fought in the Civil War. The people who actually fought the war, were okay with this arrangement. Yes, yes, yes, slavery is wrong. Very wrong. America didn’t start it, but it was one of the first places to end it. (the abolition movement really caught fire in the nineteenth century, largely by white people).

Anyway, the United States healed its divisions, and the Confederate Monuments were a big part of that. These 21st Century morons who have NO CLUE of any of this are beyond reprehension”

Well stated; The period in American history known as reconstruction when blacks were given the vote (then restricted) gets the revisionist treatment or ignored because it doesn’t fit into the socialists agenda which calls for division. The reason those monuments in question are placed honoring men who fought for their cause after defeat did not continue on. But rather chose to accept and support the result to unuify the country.

At least they work for a living. Taxes go to pay folks to sit around, get fat, and whine on their taxpayer provided cellphone. But that does keep them voting democrat. Who is the slave?

You're not wrong! =)

How soon we forget! I hadn't realized the deep nature behind all the Confederate monuments.

As I child, I was exposed, in some indirect and twice-removed way, to this cultural memory through old movies and cartoons on TV.

Just noted that it was during the Woodrow Wilson administration of 1913 that the great Union-Confederate reunion at Gettysburg, PA took place.

Anyone that believes this to be true should load up all of their belongings and resettle to Germany before they are put on a plantation. lol

Germany loves squatters and misfits.

Many of these same snowflakes promised to relocate to Canada if Trump won.... nope... not a single one of them moved.

CNN and their viewers are all smoke and mirrors. LOL. Such sad, sorry losers.

[jughandle]

Good point, I’d be thoroughly pissed if any nutjob told me or everyone else what they think I ought to be offended or triggered by.

The Left and blacks own slaves NOW.

They are called WHITE TAXPAYERS.

Giving then enough rope and they will hang themselves with there own foolishness. Next they will want to rip down all statues, all flags, all reminders of America as a “white man’s Nation” Then will come the murder of all white people. They seem to forget—they are a minority—All this rash violent talk will only finish them at the ballot box. People don’t want this sort of racism (or any form of racism).

Idiot. The United States is de facto and de jure NOT A RACIST COUNTRY!!!!! As in the past however, the Democrat Party has nothing else but racism to play, and a thriving racism industry needs to keep the lie alive to protect their phony baloney jobs. Booker T Washington realized this over one hundred years ago.

The only modern slaves in the USA are the TAXPAYERS.

Liberal elites used American Indians the same way ... turned out the majority of American Indians didn’t care if Sports Teams used their names...
