    Protesters on University of North Carolina campus knock down 'Silent Sam' Confederate statue 105 years after it was erected. UNC said in a statement that the university is "investigating the vandalism and assessing the full extent of the damage." https://abcn.ws/2Brromu pic.twitter.com/2GbOTA5tm0

        Or, y’know, white students don’t have to be as concerned about getting shot by the cops for knocking down a statue commemorating slavery.

        Read Wikipedia it’s not to commemorate slavery. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Sam

        Oh I get it, you’re too stupid to realize what the Confederate Army stood for. Read the Articles of Secession written by the various Confederate states, then tell me it wasn’t about slavery.

        Thank you left wing this is what you caused. I guarantee none of these kids know who the statue is of. All they know is he was part of the confederate army so he’s bad so let’s destroy our history.

        "Silent Sam" was dedicated in 1913, 50 years after the end of the Civil War. Yet if there are ANY doubts as to the racism it was created to celebrate, I suggest people read the dedication speech of Julian Carr. https://www.scribd.com/document/356954421/Julian-Carr-1913-Silent-Sam-Dedication-Speech …

        Your talking about a dedication speech. What about the dedication speech people make for opening a planned parent hood. It’s what the statue represents not what one person said to dedicate the statue that was truly a racist.

        It was a racist statue meant to intimidate POC. People requested to take it down, but GOP was not listening to the people. It had no business being up. Take that racist shit to a museum if you want to learn about America’s racist history, or tear it down.
