A Confederate monument in Texas was vandalized with spray paint over night.

The Confederate Soldiers Monument in Denton Square was discovered with the graffiti on Monday morning.

The words 'Our Confederate Soldiers', carved on the top of the monument, were covered in red spray paint with the words 'This is racist'.

The statue, located outside the Denton County Courthouse, has been at the center of a debate with many pushing to have it removed, NBCDFW reported.

Time to start saying, “It wasn’t, but we can make it that if you want. When you 12% want to start something, go ahead.”

Self referential graffiti?

I think if they shoot one or two of the perps defacing public property the crime will drop dramatically.

Amazing. These lefties have balls. Americans don’t do this to the lib monuments like the NY Slimes. Just the tolerant commies.

You know Lefties, two can play that game.

There are an awful lot of objects out there with Martin Luther King’s name on them.

I suggest we respect each other’s culture and knock this “S” off before your items start getting the same treatment.

It’s not even 12%.There are many,many decent black folks out there who are appalled by ghetto behavior.

When you 12% want to start something, go ahead.

The problem is, they already have started something, and we're sitting around saying to them...you punch me in the nose ONE MORE TIME...

I'm starting to think Texas, in general, is a lib state, what with Sheila Jackson Lee and all of the really insane, stupid garbage y'all let go in some areas. It doesn't look good for Texas, at all.

Yeah, but there a lot of “ghetto-ass whites” out there to bolster their numbers.

I have to agree though with the in your face irony in that pic....Defacing with spray paint the monument IS RACIST.

I'd call that a Freudian slip of “monumental” proportions.

Not really. They can burn their own neighborhoods all they want. I’m talking about some organized march to come burn mine.

As an outsider, it is pretty obvious that a coordinated effort is being made (in the same manner as ISIS — use smart people to rile up terrorists, or vandals in this circumstance).

The goal is for white people to have enough and lynch some innocent black people and/or blow up a mosque.

This will give Obama the excuse for military control he’s been dying for.
