It is still our history, good or bad it still built this country.

It's not so much that people want them, but allowing them to come down means SJWs win because they think they can just erase whatever offends them. It's history. It already happened.

Imagine how ridiculous it would be if right-wingers suddenly wanted statues of our founding fathers to all come down because they realized they were the liberals of the day.

But by putting up monuments and raising flags, you are celebrating and glorifying it. It should obviously be taught about in textbooks (nobody is trying to erase history), but nothing about the confederacy was admirable. It was frankly abhorrent.

It is the equivalent of people in Germany flying the Nazi flag. Doesn't matter if it is history, it is still messed up.

It should obviously be taught about in textbooks (nobody is trying to erase history), but nothing about the confederacy was admirable. It was frankly abhorrent. It encourages the notion that if enough people can get riled up about something that offends them, then they can get rid of it. It's more destructive than progressive when you stop to think about how anyone can be offended by anything. And maybe it does glorify something that shouldn't be glorified, but It is still our history, good or bad it still built this country. If anything, just leave the statue up and put a citation block next to it that teaches people the controversy. It would educate people and challenge them to see WHY the statue is considered offensive to many. --- Working in a team is great! It always helps to have someone else to blame. ...

You know, the same SJWs who want to get rid of these Confederate monuments, are the same ones who celebrate the statue of Vladimir Lenin in Seattle.

It is the equivalent of people in Germany flying the Nazi flag. Hey Godwin's Law, fantastic. The nazi flag has direct negative connotations to it. The confederacy flag has indirect connotations of racism when that's not what it's about. By advocating the removal of the flags you're embracing and cementing this false relation. That causes an indirect revision of history by changing what the Civil War was really about, and simply allows those that do misrepresent the flag to continue doing so, as everyone is going to get their message. --- My friends call me Vee.

First off, most of the Confederate statues *are* of great Southern heroes who held posts in government -- before and/or after the war -- and were distinguished heroes prior to the war.
Second, the Confederate battle flag is a symbol of freedom and rebellion. And it's a cultural system, not just in terms of counter-culture but also pop culture. You've effectively banned the Dukes of Hazzard. Third, fuck the SJWs. If you give them their way on this nonsense then they're just going to push for more crap. Like the Washington Monument? It'd eventually be on the chopping block if SJWs get their way. RedPixel posted... It encourages the notion that if enough people can get riled up about something that offends them, then they can get rid of it. It's more destructive than progressive when you stop to think about how anyone can be offended by anything. This, pretty much. It's regressivism at its worst. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

If SJWs had their way, they would want to burn both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, because they were written by wealthy, white, Christian land-owners.

Systemic segregation didn't end until, like, 1980 or so...Perhaps the confederates could have done better.
