Protesters explain why they tore down statues at State Capitol
Channel3000 ^ | 6/24/2020 | by Jaymes Langrehr

Protesters say they took the statue down because they don’t feel the state is moving forward.

“We’re not moving forward, we’re moving backwards,” said Ebony Anderson-Carter. “This (statue) doesn’t need to be here until we’re ready to move forward.”

Anderson-Carter says she and the other protesters want to see something done about racial injustice in the state, and speak with the state’s Black youth.

“The Capitol is where we solve problems, and nobody’s coming here to solve problems,” said Anderson-Carter.

The really stupid part is asking the mob to justify why they're doing the criminal things they're doing. The outright idiocy and narcissism conveyed in the quotes is truly sickening.

This is a statue of an abolitionist who gave his life in the Civil War after coming here from Norway for the cause. There are no artifacts that are safe from these monsters.

Whatever the explanation, I’m sure every other word was f*ck.

They’ve got a name and a public confession. Any reason why she isn’t being arrested?

And I hope some anonymous group does not bother to explain why they corner and then beat the sh** out of these “protestors”.

They deserve it, make them totally regret even looking at those statues.

If it was public property, they should be arrested.

The problem of Black Youth. Brought to you by LBJ and the Great Society. Solve the problem?! Stop paying women of all colors and of all religions and of all ethnic heritage to have babies out of wedlock.

Summary: Stomp your feet and riot until you get what you want. They must have learned this from weak parents.

Someone named “Ebony” has been taught since birth that color is the most important thing.

...Ebony Anderson-Carter. “This (statue) doesn’t need to be here until we’re ready to move forward.”

Don't read this utterance too closely, the lack of comprehension here just glares! Subtext appears to be it was a target of opportunity and its destruction was because the mob is having a tantrum!

I take it that she got a participation award at school. Her teachers must be so proud!

Why are you suggesting that action should be just beating them?? If you "beat" somebody, you just give them time to regroup.

Just what racial injustice are we talking about?

That young black males are growing up without a decent Father?

That black women use abortion as birth control?

That blacks commit violent crime at a rate far in excess of their proportional representation in the population?

Here in Natchez MS, someone toppled the Turning Angel Statue at the City Cemetery. It was erected to commemorate five young Girls who were killed in a Natural Gas Explosion in 1908.

I don’t know if any of them were Slave Owners or Trump Voters

Nothing is sacred anymore.

Now we move on the change the MS State Flag or else fight.

The capitol most certainly is public property. The governor of Wisconsin is a democrat. The attorney general is a democrat. They mayor of Madison (have to change that name) is a democrat. Who will order the arrest?

The protests started by the police death of George Floyd have become a socialist, anarchistic, anti-American mob frenzy. Last night a mob tried to break into the locked Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison. Thwarted, they dragged down two statues outside, The statue “Forward” (state motto) represented by a female in classical dress and one of Civil War officer Col. Hans Christian Heg. Heg had come to Wisconsin from Norway, raised and led a US militia unit and died at the battle of Chickamauga. Neither statue was connected to any act of oppression of Blacks other than being a White person.

Actually LBJ was on the right track after he read the Moynihan report on the status of the “Negro Family” in 1965. He gave a speech in support of changing this deterioration.

The race hustlers at the time branded Moynihan and others as racists blaming the victims. That redirected the Great Society toward the hustlers and their groups that wanted to distribute the money. The Moynihan report was right. Johnson was right but the powers that were in charge of the civil rights movement and the Congress then, killed the report and the ideas in it.

The family problem is much worse now and it has spread to the white population as well.
