Miletus 06/09/20 1:38:52 PM #4:	Good thing we have statues, else they'd focus on more important things, like changing laws. Might not even need to invest in riot police. Build a terracotta army of statues and use that to divert everyone's attention away from how the government operates. Then nothing will change but everyone will feel better. --- The wailing of men, and the roars of women, The squirting of bone, and the strength of skin can be all be heard in wars. <cite>Miletus posted [p:940405333] in They're ta...

And he appointed a KKK leader to the supreme court Because he's dead. Oh, you mean his statue. Well, because he's dead. Also because people who attack statues are emotional and easily outraged. They're unenlightened and fast distracted. That's why. "Why don't we tear down the pyramids they were built by slaves" Egyptian government: "NOT SLAVES! indentured servants. They totally loved their lives of hard labor." no surprise the argument is the same as those used by enlightenment era slavery apologists, who say the slaves were treated well and considered a part of the family, cooking meals and receiving medical treatment.

And he appointed a KKK leader to the supreme court Simple reason: He's dead, racists don't invoke his name or history, and because of his reforms he's considered a liberal icon.
