The existence of these statues is unacceptable. This isn't history, it's an ode to racism and a participation trophy. #durham #durhamnc

You must be in a deep dark place if you are comparing ISIS to tearing down confederate statues. No one in their right mind does this

Destroying history and memorials of your supposed enemy to erase all memory of him? It is the same. You're just deep in your toxic ideology

I thought you weren't tweeting me anyone. I was really excited there for a moment.

Difference: while his views on race are describable, he is the reason why this country is still together. It's reality

Lincoln is a monster as well. I do not condone his actions, his statue makes me sick, as does how he is taught in schools.

Why are you removing history? Tell me you know enough about North Carolina history to know that the Civil War wasn't about slavery.

No one is removing history. That statue is not the only thing that exists about the civil war. Seriously, stop whining

So you're cool with us renaming streets named after Malcolm X and MLK? It's just stupid. The Civil War wasn't about slavery.

Also, equating changing street names to taking down items that memorialize actual treason doesn't make sense

Malcolm X wasn't perfect & initially believed in black supremacy, just like Hitler believed in white supremacy. X made a mistake. He's human

What the heck? Are you seriously now trying to compare Malcom X to Hitler? Of all white supremacists, you go to Hitler?

Have you watched videos of current Nation Of Islam leaders calling for white genocide including babies? Hitler did the same.

We aren't talking about Nation of Islam are we? We were talking about X. Why of all people are you trying to draw parallels to Hitler?

Why would want to remove them in the first place? That is a part of our history

Adolf Hitler is a part of our history too....statue for him as well...what about Himmler too?

Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler are not part of American history.

He lost a war against us, same as these confederates y'all love commemorating. NEXT.

Idiot.

Ya mama

Leave it to a Trump supporter to bring up random stuff that has nothing to do with anything
