AUSTIN, Texas -- A statue of the president of the secessionist pro-slavery southern states was removed from its pedestal Sunday on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin, days after a court rejected an appeal from a Confederate heritage group. Crews were seen removing the statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis from its place near the university's iconic clock tower. Davis led the Confederacy of southern states during the 1861-65 Civil War.
Davis' statue will eventually be displayed in the Briscoe Center history museum on campus, which university officials said is a more appropriate place for it. The Briscoe Center has one of the nation's largest archives on slavery.

Were the front of the “crews” pants wet? In Yo Face Honky!
It is interesting that this thread sits next to a thread on the “shocking silence” regarding Mohammedan (ISIS) sex slavery.
The herd is running full speed but only along politically correct trails.
Jefferson Davis had feet of clay but was a giant among the pygmies compared to our current “leaders”.
Oh good. Everything will be okay now.
Well it is the shithole called Austin so no real surprise there.I hope they replace the statue with a black lives matter banner /s
Maybe a statue of Louis Farrakhan? How would that grab you? 👿😡
Mind my sarcasm at the end of my post.I expect them to put a screwy louie statue in place.Fitting for the town its in.
when will they ban the fag flag from all govt sites?
after all, it’s offensive to tens of millions of people and is the symbol behind the homo mafia and those trying to spark a race war
Austin......steers and queers
President Davis was probably ready to leave.
Any similarities between ISIS and Liberals?
I want to know if the "students" can name 5 facts about Jefferson Davis. I would submit that most of them have no clue!
Well now it’s official...we are reliving in the early days of the communist movement in Europe.
The thought and speech police have finally defeated free speech and thought.
No, I think that free speech and thought surrendered. And, yes, we are living in the early days of a Communistic takeover. The population is being conditioned for it by the educational system, the movie making industry, and the media.
They will. That is next.
