        The city could get a GoFundMe to make that up in less than a week. In fact, they should.

        Yes keep statues of people who were traitors to their country. Makes complete sense! Like Germany as their numerous Hitler statues....

        I don't think there are statues of Hitler in Germany. I do believe it is illegal to have them.

        Why? What in the hell is wrong with the government these days that they dont understand the racism that was and is the confederate cause?

        Really? Nothing? Please point me to the history book that you read to come to the conclusion that the secession of the Confederacy had nothing to do with slavery and racism.

        Replying to @Wrinklmeat @johncra64005938 and

        It was entirely about racism. Read the articles of confederation and see what the seceding states said, in their words, about why they were seceding. It was blatant overt racism (and ignorance).
