TEAR DOWN PRESIDENT LINCOLN STATUE IN WASHINGTON DC
Hundreds of (mostly white) protesters have shown up.
Why? Because this statue honoring the signing of the emancipation proclamation is “racist.”
Where did the statue come from? It was paid for and erected by freed slaves.pic.twitter.com/SL1OA8IaMY
ORGANIZER OF THE TEAR DOWN LINCOLN STATUE: “Lincoln did not want to free the slaves. He freed the slaves for political advancement. Not because he wanted to. We freed ourselves...” Lincoln was assassinated for freeing the slaves and securing total victory over the Confederates.pic.twitter.com/8jf8uT0sck
TEAR DOWN EMANCIPATION STATUE ORGANIZER: “No one here created this but you do have a choice and an opportunity to destroy it.” Doesn’t this apply to literally anything in society?pic.twitter.com/XArJzaBSIb
Would you like to know the actual history of the statue? Paid for in full by emancipated American citizens:pic.twitter.com/lzWkuRkVec
Black female pastor is very upset at organizers of the tear down Lincoln movement. Is very upset at the organizers for judging people by their skin color — says this statue tear down movement is not helping. White libs in the audience hiss and sneer at her as she walks away.pic.twitter.com/5AfRf5hach
Way too many stupid humans. 
Bust out the tear gas.
Read the speech Fredrick Douglas gave at the dedication of this Statue. I would be on board to see a Statue of Douglas Placed next to this monument with a portion of Douglas speech put on a Plaque for people to read. https://transcription.si.edu/project/12955
Those people don't know about history. They never try to educate themselves. Statues are not just simply standing there. They are teaching us history, both good and bad. They are giving us opportunities to think about history, remembering what happened in the past.
