Don’t they mean WHITE historians? Hmmmmmmmmm
I wonder if this is why the Founders DID NOT want us to be a democracy??? Chalk another one up to their amazing intelligence in giving us a Constitutional Republic and not a Democarcy!!!
All statues of anyone who, in the opinion of anyone, ever did wrong, must be brought down; ergo, no statues permitted.
“If we do this in some willy-nilly way, we will regret it,”

Like everything else the left has done to this country.
“Yale University historian David Blight”
The left will brand him an “alt-right Nazi” before this hour ends.
Like Grant, Lee was an honest soldier.
What?! I’m going to make a statue of David Blight then destroy it! Raaaa!
Soul searching? That’s a laugh. Soul searching means an extended period of consideration not a mad dash in all directions at every statue like you mainlined all the coke in an episode of Miami Vice.
If we actually lived in a Democracy,this country would not be recognizable right now. We certainly would not have 50 stars on the flag. If some of these libtard states such as California exited as they seem to want to so bad, they would collapse without the DC Federal Government. Their “democracy” would be no better than Greece economically and demographically Mexico.

We’re having a monuments dispute here in my town. I wrote a letter to city officials urging that instead of removing the monuments (which weren’t even statues and were just honoring a somewhat odd historical figure who lived here at one point and local Civil War dead from families still in town) we have a program of historical tours and additional informational placards to put them into context. We have a lot of good historians here and even the minister who is leading the protests could be part of the committee to develop the program. This would benefit everybody, both black and white, Southerner and non-Southerner.
Somebody leaked the letter to a website, and now I’m waiting for my house to get burned down...
It’s really tragic when simply wanting to deal with reality makes you feel like a target.

For those of us a bit befuddled by the liberal media and liberal groups to “clean up” or “modify” existing war monuments around the country in an effort at politically correctness, My cousin, a former Nam chopper pilot, passed along this interesting bit of history that NOW I remember from American History in High School.
The CONGRESS in 1957 made ALL VETERANS on BOTH SIDES equal American Veterans with the respect and consideration due same no matter if they fought for the North or the South.
Thus any attempt to remove or modify or otherwise denigrate an existing war monument featuring a Southern Soldier or leader could indeed be considered an act of desecration against a monument honoring an American Soldier. So would the same act against a statue of President Lincoln or General Grant. We are ALL Americans indeed.
