row_33 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It’s kind of an odd thing to commission a statue in our day and going forward except for athletes and Trump on Mt Rushmore and enough with the athletes statues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I'm rethinking this. Maybe 89 is on to something. But why go half way? We need to rename the city of Washington, hell - the name of the state too. Tear down the W. Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial too. We must plow under all the Southern cities old town areas because they were around in the dark era. Let's not forget the southern plantations. Those "museums" must be burned to the ground and salt sowed into their earth. Let's force people with southern accents to take diction lessons so they sound more like us enlightened northerners. Let's keep going with this ***** until we finally get to the real core of the matter... REPARATIONS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blacks shouldn't be reminded of their time in bondage by being forced to hear people speak with a southern accent, or be within 1,000 miles of any city or plantation that any slave was near. We know what's best for them, and we will take care of them - so long as they keep their mouths shut and don't get all uppity/turn into Uncle Toms.

Tiberius Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 I bet all these guys hate seeing Confederates monuments moved, darn it all U.S. WEST VIRGINIA WEST VIRGINIA GOVERNOR FIRES 34 PRISON GUARD TRAINEES WHO GAVE NAZI SALUTE AS 'SIGN OF RESPECT' TO INSTRUCTOR West Virginia Governor Fires 34 Prison Guard Trainees Who Gave Nazi Salute As 'Sign of Respect' to Instructor BY ASSOCIATED PRESS 11:15 AM EST (CHARLESTON, W. Va.) — West Virginia’s governor has fired 34 correction officer trainees who were photographed giving a Nazi salute, and he fired their instructor. He also says four instructors are being suspended without pay. Republican Gov. Jim Justice announced his decision Monday after receiving a report from state investigators that the trainees regularly gave the Nazi salute “as a sign of respect” for their instructor in the weeks prior to the release of the photo. Its release earlier this month triggered widespread outrage. “As I said from the beginning, I condemn the photo … in the strongest possible terms,” Justice said in a statement Monday. “I also said that this act needed to result in real consequences – terminations and dismissals. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated on my watch in any agency of state government.” A three-page executive summary was released Monday detailing the state’s inquiry into the controversial image. https://time.com/5757099/west-virginia-correction-officers-nazi-salute/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Virginia Governor Northam versus Robert E. Lee Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam is pushing a bill in the Virginia Legislature to replace Robert E. Lee’s statue in the U.S. Capitol. Each state has two statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection. Virginia’s two statues are of George Washington and Robert E. Lee. In December, Two Virginia U.S. House Representatives, Jennifer Wexton and Donald McEachin, added momentum to replacing Lee’s statue in the Statuary Hall: “As Virginians we have a responsibility not only to learn from but also confront our history. As part of this responsibility, we must strive for more complete telling of history by raising up the voices, stories, and memories of minorities and people of color.” https://www.timesexaminer.com/mike-scruggs/6287-virginia-governor-northam-versus-robert-e-lee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those words, same as words like marriage, mean absolutely nothing to pea brains like you, because you have no idea what they are. You see, without meaning, they are merely words.

Tiberius Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 On this date in 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered his beaten army to the victorious General Ulysses S. Grant, commander of all Union forces. After four long years of war... https://www.nps.gov/apco/index.htm "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.[7] —Abraham Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
