SectionC3 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 On 6/24/2020 at 9:43 AM, B-Man said: The Fight against Statues Is a Fight against Civilization by Conrad Black Original Article The movement to tear down statues or even just to deface them was misconceived in its earliest stages and has now, like most aspects of the self-flagellating fever over “systemic racism,” evolved from just concerns about offending African-American sensibilities into an assault on the entire body of achievement of Western civilization. This movement really began with the debate over whether to remove the statue of General Robert E. Lee from a main square of Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. Serious civic discussion on a legitimate question quickly deteriorated into mob violence between Klansmen and neo-Nazis on one side and Antifa and the belligerent faction Imagine that. Some people don’t want to venerate a racist, traitorous, loser. You, on the other hand, appear to be cool with that scenario. Sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In point of fact I am an observant Christian, perhaps even a borderline devout one. Your view of Christianity (accepting the discrimination, degradation, and, following the “Kung Flu” crack this week, frankly hate of the President) is inconsistent both with my view of my religion and contrary to the teachings of Jesus. I detest how people like you distort the teachings and spirit of the Gospels. Shame. Edited June 25, 2020 by SectionC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi lawmakers could vote this weekend to remove the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag, a symbol that has come under intensifying criticism in recent weeks amid nationwide protests against racial injustice. People for and against the current flag were gathering at the state Capitol on Saturday morning as lawmakers arrived. Karen Holt of Edwards, Mississippi, was with several people asking lawmakers to adopt a new banner with a magnolia, which is both the state tree and the state flower, and with stars to represent Mississippi as the 20th state. She said it would represent “joy of being a citizen of the United States,” unlike the current flag.
