There were suggestions of new statues, honoring a more inclusive set of heroes....Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. ...W.E.B. Du Bois...Oliver Hill...John Mitchell Jr. I guess inclusiveness applies only to blacks. Whites, Asians, Latinos, etc. need not apply.

Put up twice as many statues of confederates and a central bronze hand statue titled: America Flipping Off Political Correctness.

How about an inverse Mount Rushmore. Instead of heads of
Ralph Northam, Terry McAuliffe, Bob McDonnell, Tim Kaine,
Mark Warner, and others back to Patrick Henry. Instead of standing, each would be facing outward from the walkway grasping his ankles. Each plaque would have the name of the governor with his dates of service and the note “This is how this governor viewed the taxpayers.”

Their devoted cult followers care. And you won't like what follows. Ah yes, the heroes, aka Comrades, of the demoKKKrat party.

Well, I’m that didn’t take long. Submit a FOIA request for city council meeting minutes, this has been planned and discussed.

I would fight any effort to put any statue up whatsoever.

The idea of replacing Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis and others with famous Black Americans would reframe the message communicated by the street. So changing it from all white guys to all black guys is "a more inclusive set of heroes"?

Good one. I think they should put up monuments to the 98% of white folks who DID NOT OWN SLAVES BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR ANYWAY.
