Good. We should be teaching history, not trying to erase it. Funny how it was only after Dylan Roof shot up that church that people actually starting caring about the confederate flag and the various Civil War monuments. They were fine before, but someone needed a crusade...

I thought I saw the shadow of a klansman there, then I realized it was the statue. Fucking irony.

National scale like the white nationalist who come from all over to support the statues where as the people of NOLA elected officals voted to take it down. NOLA is a mostly African-American city and most African-Americans don't want them up.

What people? The random SJW on the internet forums? No one cared about the CSA's negative history until Dylan Roof and you know it. If that Facebook photo would have never seen the light of day, Roof's shooting would have been just another stat for the gun control crowd instead of being a catalyst to tear down historical monuments.

A house's function is for people to live in them.
A monument's function is to honor someone.

You really can't understand the difference.

Also the History bull shit doesn't fly at fucking all and you know it.

Although not direct, the Holocaust museum does ironically keeps Hitler's/Nazi Germany's legacy alive. Forever to remind the world the horrors he led the country to unleash against the Jews.

Yeah, unfortunately you folks in Germany ain't forgetting that anytime soon.

Germany has monuments honoring Hitler out there on their streets? That's pretty bold of them.

If you think those places are honoring Hitler and Nazis then that just seems like you have a very personal issue and should go speak to a therapist.

It's not defending a gorup to say another group was worse.

I just find it humorous how this bugs you but black-masked thugs assaulting people doesn't. It just shows what sort of person you are, is all.

Tell ya what, as soon as they do something violent, I'll be the first to declare them to be worse than Antifa. Until then, they are not worse than Antifa.

I'll only call it fair once you stop being disingenuous. So what message did they hope to convey by standing in front of that statue with their torches? You brought it up in the first place Mal, so let's talk about it.

Their message is irrelevant. You're allowed to protest by right and it is morally bankrupt to stop a protest that harms nobody.

People who assault innocent people are worse than people who do not. Do you disagree?
