Brietbart ^ | 07/12/2021 | Amy Furr

The city’s remaining contested statue was torn from its pedestal Saturday once Charlottesville’s City Council voted unanimously to take down the statue of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea.

“The statue of Lewis, Clark and Sacagawea departed the intersection where it has stood since 1919 at around 2:45 p.m. aboard a flatbed truck,” the Daily Progress reported, adding the removal took approximately an hour and a half.

It was transported to Darden Towe Park in Albermarle County, which is where the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center is located, the article continued:

Statues are place to denote Historically events. Thus future generations can be reminded of past history. So no statues, no history. So since the cancel culture want to remove anything from the Civil War, I asked if no signs of the Civil War, did slavery ever happen? Prove it! Show me some historical reference which was placed to remember want happened.

Since Lewis & Clark statue was removed, do we cancel all states west of the Mississippi River?

I share you addiction to FR. Yep, that’s the excuse my family uses too when discussing why they accept the abuse and helping one of the most duplicitous people on the planet thrive by using that evil platform.

My granddaughter built a site for the family we could use just like FB but most of my boneheaded family FORGET or so they claim, to use it. SMH! HAHAHA.

Because she helped the evil white man. She should have gunned them down to help the revolution and then handed the weapon in at the next Gun Buyback Program. Obviously. < / average leftist Twitterer>

“Of course it’s not logical ... just wondering what their beef is with Lewis and Clark.”

Probably because the Sac is in a subserviently position!

I’ll put it in my front yard if nobody wants it.

There are few concepts more profoundly sinister & deceitful than applying the morality of today to peoples of the past.....today’s unprincipled liberals are notorious for perpetuating this loathsome practice.

Well, you see, Sacagawea gave assistance to the interloping Louis & Clark expedition and thus was a traitor to indigenous pipples. We are able to see this new truth about her thanks to the clarifying lens of CRT.

A perfect quote for this event.

Both Lewis and Clark were Freemasons.

The colonization of American by Europeans followed the Red, White, and Blue ...

The little red school, the little white church, and the little blue lodge (Freemasons). These were present in every successful town at some point.

Not so many Freemasons today, and civility is at an historic low.

Ah, thank you for interpreting the leftist reasoning for me. It’s very difficult sometimes!

She’s bending down or kneeling which is a submission to white men in liberals eyes so it had to go.

Opened up indigenous lands to the evil White man.

Because those two evil White dudes were oppressing Sacajawea.
They were evil colonizers that put her into slavery, and the “indigenous” people of the world find it offensive.

This is a sarcastic comment, but its what I think is the reason behind it
