I am never going downtown again, so I will never see it.

Good opportunity to ask friends on the left:

Why is slavery bad?

What exactly does freedom mean, and why is it good?

“Emancipation Monument”...at least the DERPS appear to have a sense of irony as they mock us all while leading into digital servitude

No wonder they’re stripping the USA of all reminders of American Heritage

How about we get emancipated from the far left?

Emancipation? As in the Emancipation Proclamation, written by a Republican president? The Union Army, with the Stars and Stripes as their banner, freed the slaves. I’m sure the Wokesters will proudly display the Stars and Stripes at this monument. No?

The irony is that governments are now becoming the massahs and the citizens are becoming the slaves with more and more regulation of the tiny details of the lives of citizens.

We are heading towards the leftist wet-dream of “everything that is not prohibited is mandatory”.

Tear it down. That is a perfectly acceptable practice today.

Slavery has existed in one form or another since the dawn of time. Only with the success of the American Revolutionary War and the promulgation of the American Constitution, did slavery as an institution begin to disappear all over the world.

Iow, Northam had this as a secret plan all along.

It’s fine to have a monument to emancipation, but it violates the agreement that gave the state the land for the monument to Lee.

Both can exist. But Coonman needed a sacrifice from someone else to expiate his guilt for his earlier behavior.

Whites celebrating how they controlled the blacks then “gave” them their freedom.
