        Yes. Yes they are. People who knock down racist symbols ARE very fine people. People who defend racist symbols ARE NOT.

        Maybe if you note exactly what that statue represents people wouldn't be in such uproar. This guy was responsible for many of the lynchings in the South. What's it doing in a university campus in the first place?

        The statues of those Evil men, were only put up to intimidate and remind Black folks of time when we weren't even considered by them to be human. They referred to us as "property" back then.

        Anyone else find it interesting that MLK advocated for the direct opposite of this vigilante style “justice”??? Ask yourself who these folks will be voting for and then hopefully vote for the direct opposite!

        In this case the CSA were an illegal, seditious, treasonous group of wealthy land owning slavers whom; controlling enough of their local political systems, convinced 11 states to secede & participate in open armed insurrection against the United States of America.

        Yes the Confederacy did lose, instead of going quietly into a peaceful corner of history, they were extolled & lauded by Southern Socialites, i.e. "Daughters of the Confederacy" whom, used money & influence to rewrite history, is this (incident) a correction?

        As one of the grandchildren of Jefferson Davis, I fully support the removal of all Confederate monuments. Put them into museums where they belong.
