In Charlottesville, Virginia, the city council voted narrowly in February to remove a bronze statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and to rename Lee Park, where the statue stands. Fucking ridiculous and a joke to history. Yes, let's ignore or remove all parts of the past that we don't agree with just because it hurts someone's feelings. Goddamn nannystate country. ...

This is some dumb shit alright.
Especially taking down Lee's statue. Better get rid of Arlington cemetery while they're at it. It has confederate ties too. --- I find myself identifying strongly with Hitler - Blighboy ... Copied to Clipboard!

To be fair, New Orleans is one of the most corrupt cities in the US, and is still all sorts of fucked up from Katrina. Statues are probably the least of their problems.

Amid security threats, contractors wearing masks and tactical vests worked in the dark of night to remove that monument. They didn't have to worry about BLM supporters, so why the armor? >_> --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wasn't there already a topic about this?

Wasn't there already a topic about this? I've had Duckbear on ignore for months now and I just stopped caring about him altogether so I didn't think to check. In any case, yeah, my opinion on a topic, for once. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can understand if people get them to stop flying a confederate flag under a modern USA one on buildings. Flags are cloth, but people attach a lot of meaning to them.
There is no reason they should be getting rid of a statue though. Not at this point in time at any rate. . --- I am the Hunter of Topics. My post never fails to kill its prey. *pounces* Nyaa! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm not even sure that there's much value to getting rid of the Confederate Flag. By playing up its offensiveness, they're ultimately just making it a better tool for offending. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, but its best to avoid annoying people who put however much importance they feel like on pieces of cloth to wave in the wind. Due to the way much of humanity views flags, it can have a justifiably varied amount of meaning to different people.
A statue or similar monument doesn't really gain much meaning outside of its intended one, with the exception of a few people. Not even the people who would ACTUALLY be offended either. But rather the people who THINK that other people would be offended by it and thus find offense where there is none. . --- I am the Hunter of Topics.

I love how the left whine but get violent at the drop of a hat while the right threaten violence then sit on their asses.
