Sorry, but vandalism is not OK.
So thankful for the students at UNC who toppled the Confederate statue on their campus. They did what the administration & politicians in North Carolina should've done decades ago. It was erected at the height of lynching by friends of the KKK as an act of intimidation.

On the other hand, the secession did happen. I was thinking about how we could have such statues with plaques more appropriate to the event and tragedy of the time.

For those making the point that students shouldn’t have taken the removal of
#SilentSam into their own hands, the#UNC Board of Governor’s made the decision to stop discussions on the controversial statue, and move on to other issues. The BOG abandoned, and the students revived.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

While you consider how you feel about confederate monuments being pulled down, consider that UNC's founding principle is "Light & Liberty." Consider also that below were the words spoken at the dedication of statue in 1913.pic.twitter.com/fgPlhQf1UM

The students celebrated act was criminal (vandalism). There are betters ways to deal with sensitive situations like this through dialogue.

Here's the speech given at the unveiling of
#SilentSam. The speaker brags about beating a Black woman and getting away with it. Good riddance. http://hgreen.people.ua.edu/transcription-carr-speech.html … - 6 more replies
