Heisenberg Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 History is also taught differently depending on where you live, which is ridiculous. I'm not sure if the "War of Northern Aggression" is still taught in schools but I know my parents grew up learning the Civil War was only about State rights and had nothing to do with slavery. I still have a lot of relatives that cannot be reasoned with when it comes to historical fact that is easily proven with documents and words from the traitors themselves. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 the same humans who get very vocal about the "wrong" statues being taken down were apparently lees troubled by all the humans being taken down unjustly that have led to the statues being taken down   excess is excess, call it out, note the messenger (what is their dialogue on the matter overall), but keep it in perspective and keep your eyes on the prize  along with a final rejection of all the blatantly overt racists in the gop, no more falling into the minimize/deflect/dilute/deny/redirect traps from the horde of longtime supportive gopers (a multi-generational pool) who do not argue with integrity themselves...the bulk of that group basically demands their opposition "follow all the rules all the time" while their side is all about "whatever it takes, anything goes" in many serious matters at hand 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Used to live around the corner from Lincoln Park, if there's a way to take it down without tearing it and the Park apart, I'd prefer that.  DC isn't Alabama, if that's what the people want, don't act like ripping it down is the only way. Replace it a less controversial statue of that man, he deserves one.

DC isn’t currently a state either, which maybe means they are at the mercy of Trump, and the GOP senate to some extent.  Not sure how much legal say they have with the statues.

I dont think that's how folks should be doing getting rid of Confederate statues, and this isnt even a Confederate statue.
