Fried Chicken posted:New Orleans city council just voted 6-1 to remove confederate monuments This kind of makes me sad. I think the South can embrace it's heritage and at the same time acknowledge how horrible it was. I've been to places in Europe where the do this quite well. Most of Germany fully embraces it's past and at the same time fully acknowledges how horrible the Nazis were. Instead of tearing down the monuments why not add plaques that acknowledge how horrible the Confederacy was? I'm being 100% serious.

Work it, twink! Maybe you'll get your own, personal Chuck Tingle written book one day. "Battered in the Butt by Bourgeois Unicorns," would be a good title, I think.

Yeah, I suppose if there were a total unwillingness to face your horrible past then the only alternative is to tear that poo poo down. But, I'd prefer to see acknowledgment of past transgressions over destruction of monuments.

Reconstruction was an abject failure, the Southern power structure was allowed to reform, the North didn't grind them into dust like they should have done, the impact of the Civil War was erased too soon because of that. They never had to change their ways for the better so they'll never acknowledge their failings the way properly punished regimes have.

We're not talking about preserving history, we're talking about perpetuating a myth that these monuments were erected to create and maintain.

Only by removing that sense of legitimacy from the state grounds, will generational progress be possible. I agree with your Confederate hero mythology but, I'd just like to point out that it wasn't just the South that created this mythology. Hollywood did as much to create that mythology as anyone and it was fully embraced by the entire nation. Gone with the Wind is considered one of the greatest movies ever in the history of Hollywood and just go back and watch it and see how it glorified the South and the Confederacy. The South, I'll admit, was never forced to embrace it's own horrible past.

We're not talking about preserving history, we're talking about perpetuating a myth that these monuments were erected to create and maintain. If you think about it, they're historical artifacts that should say more about the Jim Crow era they were erected in than the antebellum they commemorate. But they don't, and their continued veneration and perceived value don't do anything good for us.

Speaking of which, do you think it was Obama or Clinton that played rap in the white house for the first time? I mean played it to enjoy it, not scare their donors.
