I keep saying that if Confederates are Democrats we should be able to take down our statues.

Their response to this is that modern Democrats want to take down the statues to further cover up and hide their shameful past.

Yes, this is a common take. My reply would be: just suppose we recontextualize them. Keep the statues but add giant plaques saying these people, wicked Democrats all, fought and killed for the sake of slavery. Show of hands: now who supports covering up history, and who doesn't?

I love how you folks insist anyone on another team than you, isn't human and deserves no respect or remembrance.

only republicans think open rebellion against the country is more patriotic than taking a knee to shed light in decades of racial tyranny
