Confederate monuments shouldn't have gone up, they must come down

Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and P.G.T. Beauregard were not heroes. Sure, they've been treated as such. They've been immortalized in bronze and placed on pedestals as if they did something worthy of their elevated status. But they didn't. They have been wrongly celebrated for supporting a cause that was abominable. And, no, their cause was not less abominable because some of their contemporaries approved it. The Africans and African-descended people whose enslavement they fought to preserve weren't any less human because the Confederates said so. Nor did their saying so make the Confederates' cause noble.
They were wrong. And they deserved the public's rebuke even way back then. The people who lived in the south during the Civil War and in the subsequent decades should have condemned Lee and Davis and Beauregard for their participation in that war. They should have condemned slavery as an institution. But they took the opposite view of things. They reviled those men who helped preserve the Union. They reviled those people whose emancipation was brought about by the Civil War. They chose to honor men who not only wanted to preserve slavery but expand it.

Yes, they are all coming down one by one. Everyone who counts understands why they must continue to come down. There will always be a few ignorant fucks along the way that will try in vain to stop it. Now fuck off.

You people wanting to remove confederate statues are just like ISIS and the Taliban tearing down any historical structure, monument etc you don't agree with.

Why do democrats want to erase their history? This is all part of American history and culture. It should be memorialized so that we never forget how far we have come. The facts are that democrats lost the civil war. They wanted to keep blacks as slaves. Removing statues will not change that.

The statues probably wouldn't be an issue if they weren't embraced by neo-nazis and racist white trash morons. I keep hearing its about "heritage, not hate" but it's almost always white supremacists who are really at the forefront of these confederate rallies.

The USA has a long history of children being raped and our justice system doing nothing about it. Why don't we build some monuments to honor the great Americans that rape children? Hey, like it or not it is our history so we better build monuments to remember it RIGHT?????

Statues don't bother me. Fat white idiots with guns acting stupid doesn't bother me. Protesters taunting the fat white fucks doesn't bother me, either.
What bothers me is dreamy Saturday's watching this bullshit on CNN.

I wouldn't know because they don't offend me at all. Taking them down is just simply the right thing to do. It is a bonus that removing them offends rightards though.
Huge bonus, didn't care before but now there cant be any left standing. A database and map of all confederate statues needs to compiled and they need to be eradicated until the last one is gone.

Apparently, they DO offend you. Or you wouldn't be crying over them.
And BTW, the Southern generals, slave owners, and the KKK were all democrats.

To all you liberal idiots that claim to be "the educated elite" but don't know your front side from your backside, it was your glorious democratic party that split the Union over 152 years ago. It was your glorious democratic party that up until the late 70's espoused all of the "current alt right idiots" in the democratic party. With the flick of the switch they are now the glorified elite and you libtards all bow at their feet "Hillary, Obama,etc" and worship your idolized version of history. So if we are going to erase history, lets go all out and "white wash" everything. Tear down all of the Kennedy monuments, MLK monuments, Jefferson, Washington, and fucking clear out all history that "everyone" disagrees with and all be neutered little idiots and faggots that have no clear identity, no passion for anything and no pride in the past. This is what you alt-left and the media want. ISIS and your, their agenda all have one thing in fucking common "Our way or the highway". Well sorry to inform you libtard fucking faggots, there are some that disagree with the direction you are taking "all" of us and we are tired of it. We are all not "racists" that disagree with you. But if we continue to erase our history, than the same goes for all of it as it was all bad at some point or another if you faggots would have paid attention in your history class in 2nd grade. Oh, sorry, many of you didn't graduate 2nd grade. Sorry if I offended you.

My relatives were confederates - fuck them. They were on the wrong side of the war wrong side of history. Just because we share DNA doesnt mean I want to glorify them or their disgusting stance on slavery.
The leaders of the Confederate Army were once loyal military leaders all attending West Point in many cases in the same class. Then some made the choice to betray their vows to the USA and became traitors in the truest sense of the word. We should honor them? I dont think there is any rational argument for that any longer. Years ago it was to placate the losers in the South, to offer them some shred of dignity in defeat of an immoral cause.
All those that served in the civil war are now gone. Tear the statues down, and get rid of the traitor flag.

Let us not forget that those statues are all of democrats. The future generation of those democrats all live behind gates or pay $800K for a shitty house in Vienna to keep themselves segregated from coloreds and non-affluents.
