Down Goes Silent Sam

The ends always justify the means and need no apology or explanation just as long as you are on the right side of social justice.

What do you apologize for?
 
My favorite part whenever arguments about Confederate statues and memorials comes up is the inevitable claim from those who support keeping them that, if we take them down, somehow we'll all forget about the Civil War and "lose our history". As if all those books and documentaries and battlefield parks like Gettysburg and Shiloh are also going to disappear. LOL.

Do you think rubes read or watch documentaries?

Is this a serious question ? How many "Killing So and So" books does Bill O'Reilly have ? How many books do Rush and Hannity have ? How much Alt-right and Neo Nazi stuff do you think is posted on the internet to be read ?

Welcome to FL. Stay out of the heat. Thanks for the $$$.
 
Moving to FL and my tax dollars subsidizing the salaries of government employees of the florida state university system to post 92,000 on a message board.

But you love your tax dollars paying Trump's foreign workers at Mar-A-Lago. Since there are no experienced hospitality workers in Southern Florida, Trump had to hire all those foreign workers.
 
No. It should have never been put up. It should have been torn down and destroyed the day after it went up. It should have been torn down and destroyed when the university admitted black students for the first time in 1951. It should have been torn down and destroyed after Charlottesville.

That statue, like all the statues like it, was a stain on the community, the state, the South, and the Country. I’m fine sticking the more prominent ones in museums as a reminder of how fucked up this country’s history of racism has been (and still is).

There are plenty of divisive issues in this country where reasonable people can disagree. This isn’t one of them.

Just curious, do you feel the same way about the national Vietnam Memorial, and similar local municipal Vietnam memorials/parks?

Were Vietnam memorials put up 60ish years after the end of the war with the purpose to intimidate newly a freed people group and rewrite the narrative of the war to honor people who took up arms against our country to maintain a system of chattel slavery?

If so, sure.

In 2035 when people put up a memorial to the Viet Kong can we all agree to tear it down immediately?

The Viet Nam Memorial does not glorify traitors who took up arms against the United States. You can dance and come up with all the excuses all you like, but this is who Southern Civil War personnel are.

The VNM was not put up to intimidate other Americans.
