either way they were always about racism. I mean someone should probably articulate that at least because it utterly undercuts the idea that these statues have any validity w/r/t heritage.

yeah theres a reason theres no statues to the southern generals who became (relatively) pro-black republicans after the war like Longstreet

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

in fairness most statues are hollow because solid ones would weigh and cost a fuckton more

That's true but Confederacy statues are specifically cheaply mass produced because they were installed all over as a part of Jim crow

well there are statues of forrest, probably because the people who erected them didn't know he fuckin' hated the klan after a year of trying to keep the membership focused on being a political club rather than a terrorist org (:laffo:) and spent the last few years of his life telling everyone what a bunch of losers they are

(disclaimer: nathan bedford forrest was still a bad person for his actions during the war)

I read an airport novel once about how Erwin Rommel traveled to the United States in the 1910s, and he met William Faulkner and Nathan Bedford Forrest, and that was where Forrest taught him all he needed to know about mobile warfare and blitzkrieg.

He stands tall, waving his finger at bad dems, his lips and chin coated in Ben & Jerry's choco-mint ice cream.

I'll go for the unveiling and celebrate at Red Square (the bar) afterwards!

the one in Tampa, which leftists successfully fought to have removed last month, was installed in 1911 with this speech from a state attorney

quote:

But the South detests and despises all, it matters not from whence they came, who, in any manner, encourages social equality with an ignorant and inferior race.

The south declares that a president who appoints a negro to an office within her borders engenders sectional bitterness," he said, "encourages lynchings, injures the negro, is an enemy of good government and a traitor to the Anglo-Saxon race.

it's always racism and usually explicit white supremacy. tear em down and poo poo on them

that's like, been the souths thing their entire existence.

when we did american history in school our books kept trying to take a both sides approach but it became abundantly clear that every loving time there was a controversy, the south was ready to secede and the north acquiesced - the Missouri compromise, the 1850 compromise, the 3/5ths compromise, etc.

They've always been morally repugnant and willing to abandon all their supposed ideals if it means being allowed to stay racist.
