Seriously.

Can't walk down the street with my swastika gear and confederate flag jacket without some hateful Antifa type making blanket assumptions about me and my beliefs.

What happened to free speech? People so sensitive I can't live my life anymore without worrying about offending somebody.

Hispanic heritage, women history, Asian heritage, native American are all also history months. 1 more if I remember correctly.

Why is it you guys always specifically have an issue with only black history month?
Edit: which also happens to fall on the shortest month of the year

Are you saying that the confederacy should be honored cause that's just fucking stupid

You can argue that the statues and monuments deserve to be around for history's sake but in no way shape or form do they deserve any sort of reverence or respect

Sounds like you know absolutely nothing about the Robert E. Lee's life, scholarly accomplishments and philanthropic deeds. Predictable.

Burn the books!

I hate people who say "destroying history" because you know, the internet, books, museums, and don't have any of the information that was on those statues and monuments. Those pieces of history are lost forever.

Also, apparently nobody cared about the statues.

So... if nobody cares and is generally not aware of the statues, then how is it important for our understanding of Civil War history? And what meaningful way would we be destroying history?

I know these argument are probably coming from different groups, but the two biggest argument for leaving the statues alone that I see contradict each other.

Yes, because most of the statues are recognizing those things and not his time as Confederate general. Totally

You know if you really want a public statue taken down you can get a petition going and give it to your local politicians. Maybe take it to the very liberal new and have them air it.

But of course let's result to violence like animals fuck diplomacy!

Destroying history is leaving the statues there and pretending they were not put up to scare and intimidate black people.

This is hilariously ironic. Confederates waged the most violent war in American history, killed actual Americans fighting under the American flag, who fought to keep this nation one nation under God for their posterity, and you complain about destroying statuary designed to whitewash and romanticize, violent, undemocratic traitors...who started the war by firing the first shot!

Newflash buddy, Confederates killed more Americans and destroyed more American property than the liberals you despise who are pulling down statutes. They also wanted black people to be property indefinitely, but I don't know why I think that the reason they waged such a violent war might be meaningful....after all, some of them were competent soldiers.
