New Orleans To Remove Excremental Rebel Monuments

It does not matter how many insults you have to buttress your twisted, factually wrong and deplorable arguments with, they are still crap.

 

Your lies about his views on slavery are bad enough. But the fact that Americans would not want to celebrate a traitor with a statue just escapes you.

Who is forcing you, or anyone else to celebrate a traitor? Is a gay pride parade that goes in front of my house forcing me to celebrate homosexuality?

Baltimore removed their statues in the middle of last night. Baltimore is where the first blood of the Civil War was drawn as union troops moving through the city were attacked by gutter scum and the soldiers opened on them.

Sure, Lee was a slave owner as we're many in the north as well as the south, but did you know Lee freed his in 1862, 3 years before the end of the war

Oh so that makes him okay! Forget all the whippings he doled out. And the families he broke up by selling slaves away, which he was notorious for. And the personal letter he wrote claiming slavery was ultimately good for the black man, and a greater evil for the white man for the burden they carried.

 

Lee was known to personally flog his own slaves when they misbehaved among other horrors. He was monstrous, as was the whole institution of slavery, and there should be no statues of a monster like that. You know it isn't erasing history to take down a statue, that's absurd. Statues aren't artifacts, they're commemorations. Many confederate statues were built in the last 20 years.

North Carolina alone has put up 35 such monuments since 2000.

 

It's funny because I went to Germany and I don't remember any statues of prominent Nazi figures. Somehow they're able to teach the horrible history of their country without building statues. And no one complains history has been erased! Only in America, where people think they are entitled to their own versions of facts.

This public service announcement brought to you by the asshat who wants both Confederate statues and white supremacist rallies banned.

 

Is there any statement you can't twist and distort? Spin boy Tom. If you want the stupid traitor Lee in your community, go get a petition together and set the POS up. Your Nazis rallies are legal, right?

Well, until they burn the books about Lee. Because that's the next step and the overall point you're missing.

We can do better than the slippery slope fallacy. There is no movement to erase the history of the Civil War. Where does this idea come from? The most left-wing people wouldn't want to do that because they would want America's awful racial history to be taught in full.

 

Do you people know what statues are? Do you know why we build them? This would be a good start for the discussion - why does General Lee have a statue of him? What is the statue's message to its audience?

You're confusing Lee with Jefferson, dumbass.

That line is always moving through history. It's not a great point.

 

Jefferson was viewed as a pristine founding father until 30 ish years ago. Now we look at him as a guy who raped his slave and kept his son a slave even after he died. Maybe in 100 years, people will lionize him again. Perspective changes. Tributes in the form of statues will be built, torn down, replaced...that's a natural march of time.

Nothing I said was incorrect. But of course there is more to the story. My point was the counterpoint the post I responded to: Let's not hold Lee up as some bastion of anti-slavery virtue.

Feeing okay DC Tom? Even for you this is a pretty big miss.

Sure. In fact I invite you to go tear one down and piss on it. Or if you don't want to go that far just start a petition and go around town. You will soon find out the types of people that support you.

I'd do it. I'd go to Winston and tear down the black panther historical site monument. Watch what happens next.

Your view of history is so un-nuanced and revised by modern social mores that it's not even worth discussing this with you.

 

You world view is the reason we are now standing were we are, and may refight the civil war.

It is pretty wild that you are doubling down on the stupidity.
