I’m a Yankee who was fortunate enough to live most of my adult life immersed in the history of this great Commonwealth of Virginia.
I have donated thousands to preserve battlefields all over the country.
I take this tyrannical Taliban-like history erasing personally.
These reruns bore me. “New intensity”... it’s the same garbage from 2015 and 2017.
I was told by someone years ago who traveled to Europe extensively that if I wanted to see racism, go to Europe.
Oh, what BS!
Where? All about 10 people.
I wonder why the Left makes such a boogeyman about so-called Right-wing militias while actual live, real-time Left wing Antifa militias are out and about making actual autonomous zones in the heart of our cities.
Could the BBC be any less lame?
You mean like England’s “golden past?”
Shall we get rid of the pictures of dead presidents on our currency too? Actually the currency itself is a symbol of discrimination. Why not just rid of wealth altogether? Let’s just get rid of civilization.
For over 150 years no one had a problem with battle flags, statues or military base names, until someone decided to make it a problem.
Tell me Brit, all about modern American oppression of blacks!
“dark past”
Nope. No bias there.
IMO, these Leftists think they are striking at the heart of President Trump’s base destroying statues, history and names in the South. They are making stereotypical assumptions/generalizations about HIS base. They do not seem to realize just how many of us there are and where we are.
Sure hope people have some of the history hidden somewhere.
They are acting like pre WWII Germany.
Britain’s “dark past” was 20x worse. Ask a few ghosts of headless rulers.
A,erica’s? How about democrats?
“America’s dark past.”
Hypocritical BBC A$$holes; like Britain didn’t profit from slavery.
“Oppression, disproportionate poverty and racism persist to this day” -Jonathan Marcus
OK, jerkwad, show us.
Even if that were true is is because of scum leftist race hustlers like you.
They do know those bases were named while their hero, Woodrow Wilson, was President, right?
“to this day, more than 150 years after the conflict ended.”
1860: 4.1 million African-American
2020: close to 40 million
I don’t have a problem with this so STFU
The irony is the North fought to save the Union..and to that end recognize the veterans of the south
and now left want to destroy it
>> America’s “dark” past
Dark as in black?
GTH, Jonathan Marcus, ya’ pathetic rat.
The BBC. LOL.
They are the CNN or the LSDNBC of the UK.
As for the British, they have no room to be criticizing the past of any country. They need to study their own history.
Oh no not our ‘dark past’. You mean what was the greatest country on earth?
How about the worlds ‘dark past’? How about Africa’s ‘dark past’ Opsie, is that racist?
