65 years ago they were saying it was hysteria to believe that these American traditions and memorials and everything else will be vandalized and torn asunder.

They are witch hunters and they threw the statue in the lake to see if it was a witch

CC likely spoke decent Spanish, which by some etymology construct could make him also a Hispanic by language association.

Many of these kids these days are uneducated regarding the context of the words they use to justify their actions.

“Racist” being particularly abused.

Obama said he wished we were more like China.

So next will probably be social credit scores as “contact tracing” morphs.

I’ve heard some state officials such as in IL mention that they may have contact tracing continue for some time after the Wuhan virus.

Why would they want that?

All of the worldwide statues of/to Marx, Lenin and Stalin should be quietly disappeared overnight.

Starting from “Scratch” Old Scratch being the nickname of Satan. Who will be their “famous in History” Lenin and Stalin— mass murderers. They don’t know, because they DON’T know anything, and certainly not history.

They aren’t protesting to change the name of the park?

No, they don’t. They will never figure it out. Even as the bullets from the rifles of the firing squad tear into their chests. They were born stupid. They lived their lives being stupid and fools. When they die, they will die stupid and as fools. A total and through waste of humanity. But that is where we are as a Nation. As long as our Education System and media are functioning as they now are, it will only get worse.

Next come The Killing Fields, just as in Cambodia.

Not in my part of well armed America. The racks of skulls won't be ours, I guarantee you that.

Positively Maoist. And such Communist adherents promote the killing of parents (and teachers and in some Communist revolutions “those who read books”).

The Black Panthers espoused such views in the 1960s.

Offended by his name Christopher, which reminded them of Saint Christopher, which reminded them of Christ?

Who knows with these nutballs.

Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do.

Social media has already proposed tracking a social credit score (which no doubt would be put to public view like your financial credit score).

In its place we should honor indigenous people by memorializing an Aztec human sacrifice ritual. An Aztec priest holding the freshly cut out human heart up to the gods and his victim lying dead on an altar running with blood. What an uplifting, life affirming statue that would be!
___________________________________________________________
I nominate all the lefties to be the lucky human sacrifices! What an honor!

“Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do.”

This is true, and heartbreaking. As Christians we do need to forgive them, but as we also know it won’t stop the mob from doing what they are doing. Even to the point of killing us.
