If this is still about that statue it was built in the 20s as a form of intimidation. It holds no historical value beyond that
Both Orwell and Huxley warned of future totalitarian dystopias where historical monuments would be demolished. No biggie.https://twitter.com/sista_ray/status/639158983949946880 …

Why has is taken the Left nearly 100 years to become offended? It's the slippery slope to totalitarianism.pic.twitter.com/4DhTQ8B0bO

Why? The removal of a statue from public grounds that has no historical value whatsoever beyond the attempt to intimidate people.

If you're offended by a statute then you need psychiatric help. Lots of things offend me but I don't demand their censorship.
-
We sort of do as a society, fairly sure if people started flashing you and obscene gesutres to children we would speak out.

Cultural terrorism? What? They are removing a statue whose sole purpose was to intimidate.
-
Their fee-fees were hurt by a statue? Give me a break. This is a dangerous path we are going down.

But those 4 the destruction say we can just read books & dnt need monuments, although it won't be long before the books are then destroyed.

You guys just updated and paraphrased the plot of another dystopian novel; 'Fahrenheit 451'

Things are also going the way of "The Camp of the Saints".

Yes. Wow. I now have to reread that one to compare to the actual destruction of Europe by migration.

The thing I remember the most from that book is how the main Leftie characters died at the hands of their own "bleeding heart" cause.

Like Robespierre during the Reign of Terror (French Revolution)

Sorry, where I wrote "leftie" I meant "SJW". I know many sound people who are left wing but are not SJWs.

dude...do you even know what civil war was about? Why not have statue of Hitler then? I can't believe you bullshit so much!

It was about 200k white racists dying to help blacks in the 1800s and then denying them civil rights for the next 80 years. Right?
-
To be clear, the federal government didn't lift a finger to stop Jim Crow laws until the 1950s. Where was all that yankee support?

Several layers. Abolishing slavery and abolishing racism, as it turned out to be, are entirely two different things.
