YUP! Nikki Haley was the one who started the dismantling of monuments by going along with the leftists.

People didn't want to listen to people defending Confederate statues and the Battle flag because it was "bad optics" and not the hill to die on.

They thought they were so clever with their rhetorical flourishes about those evil " racist white Democrats", and here we are today. Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, and Sherman are all being torn down as we speak because people allowed this Pandora's box to be opened.

Don’t forget to thank Nikki Haley.

I was just going to call her a ____ but then I remembered Jim Robinson's request that we avoid using vulgar words.

Is Nikki a natural born citizen? Why do so many immigrants come here and soon after run for office and try to change our country?

Just leave it alone, this won’t stop until all of traces of civilization prior to 1965 ten minutes ago will be obliterated.

True, it’s an ever narrowing time span. The 1990s are now a white supremacist fascist era.

You know, it’s been about ten years, maybe fifteen, since
I’ve seen a decent stand up comedy routine.

Somewhere along the line, reality and comedy died.

That is the goal. The best way to eliminate racism is to erase slavery and Jim Crow from history.

Stone Mountain is private property. The AJC is a commie pinko rag.

The confederacy fought against freedom for blacks, so the monuments should go. We can understand why the Russians removed monuments to their enslavers, Stalin and Lenin, after they got free from communism. So we can understand why blacks want to remove monuments to THEIR enslavers.

The problem with your reasoning is that the Maoists won’t stop at Stone Mountain, just as removing Confederate flags didn’t satisfy them, this won’t either and I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit back and watch monuments to American history be torn down because it hurts someone’s feelings.

............................................
Then we should also understand that blacks want to remove Whites, all of whom have been declared by many to be racists just like their “enslaver” ancestors! You need to pick up a copy of the book entitled “Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from post-Apartheid South Africa”.
