        I had ancestors who fought on both sides. It's history. In America, we do not glorify the enemy. In the Civil War, the South left the Union. Hence, they became an enemy of this country. Clinging to the Confederacy, attempting to glorify it, has only made us more divided.

        It's this simple: If we're going to remove anything that was ever pro-slavery, then we need to start with the Democrat Party, which was the most pro-slavery institution in our country's history. Otherwise, STFU and stop being offended.

        People should just rise up and do what they have done in other places, which is the right thing, to just tear these things down themselves

        No need to worry, if the state won't do it, the people will in enough time. These fucking statues aren't sacred, they were put up years if not decades after the civil war as a way to glorify traitors. FOH

        Let's also destroy statues of Cesar, Augustus, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and etc because they were "evil".

        Can't do that. I loaned you the doll last month and you haven't returned it. And you haven't paid me back for that last hit of meth, either.

        While we’re at rewriting historical wrongs, let’s remove this man from Louisiana’s Black History Hall of Fame. Antoine Dubuclet, one of the wealthiest black men during the civil war and the states largest slave owner at the timepic.twitter.com/oQwdigdD2O

        Millennials, Bernie Bros, radicalized Marxists, uneducated Progressives... these are the folks who wish to destroy the past so it can be forgotten and subsequently repeated.

        As they should. A reminder of what was, and where we've gone. How far this country has gotten. We still have a long way to go.

        I don't really care one way or another about statues, however, anyone who has this type of thing at the top of a priority list is horribly misguided.

        In your face racism, protecting the treasonous Confederates, these states never accepted they lost the war, and have done everything possible to preserve as much as they can of Antebellum white supremacist lifestyle.
