    United States Confederate Statues, symbols, and memorials debate thread

    more like gaymer Also lol cities in the south are full of black people, how is it that statues put up in the 50s and 60s to protest desegregation and civil rights are okay but putting up statues of union war heroes is bad? Everyone bitching about equality but hating on Sherman proving the...

    United States Confederate Statues, symbols, and memorials debate thread

    I'm talking about the trail of years, not Comanche. Andrew Jackson literally betrayed the civilized tribes and spat in the face of the supreme Court just to give 3% of the land to pig farmers and the other 97% to oligarchs. If the civilized tribes survived they would have organically been...

    The southern Baptist convention split off from the north in order to support slavery, your faith is empty and void. Also lol sure the south is responsible for expansion, it stole Indian Land in Georgia, attacked New Orleans and Florida without provocation and pushed for the annexation of the...

    Lol welfare. Maybe we should pay more attention to the generations of brainwashing and constant condemnation of runaways before regurgitating obvious far right soundbites. Sure, there were slaves afraid of freedom. There were also Jews afraid to leave Nazi Germany and Indians who trusted...

    Does it belong downtown or flapping over highways far away from actual fighting? IDK, I remember them coming out when Obama won then disappearing in 2016, we know what's going on and why it pops up in the west and even fucking canada

    Bro, casual racism in the mid 20th century south isn't debatable. That's like saying mid 20th century machismo wasn't homophobic, of course it was. Nobody denies that their abuelo talked shit.

    Someone needs to invent a bot that links to all the white supremacists rationales for the war that riled up poor whites to fight for rich plantation owners First off I want a citation for that. Second off, what's your point? Collaborators and ignorant people always turn up. Thirdly, I don't...

    You don't remember Gone with the wind, birth of a Nation and the thousand and one pieces of Jim Crow propaganda. Nathan Bedford Forest is a complex figure. There was a large number of Blacks in his cavalry brigade. At his going away speech, he was effusive in his praise of them; describing...

    People learn through culture, which is malleable and politically loaded. Sure it's the minority view, but it's also the historically accurate view. The public is frankly ignorant and misinformed about these things. The second and third Confederate flag did incorporate the saltire, but at that...

    And keeping them up maintains the whitewashed propaganda you that you think is a fair acompli. Most statues don't go up at battle sights, they go up by courts and parks and city centers. As for the flag, it's weird how that isn't the stars and bars. It's the war flag of slaver traitors we beat...
