Conservatives have been evil for a long time.

So we are just going to exchange one bad memory for another.... how American

Bruh her name is Fan the Hammer

One of the best parts about the removal of the statue is people got to watch them chop it up so they could move it into storage.
Attaroo
Not bad. But there's lots of great ones from Virginia. I'd probably go with Mary Bowser Richards, Nat Turner, or Samuel Gravely Jr.

I highly recommend Atun Shei on youtube , for anyone trying to argue with confederate apologists: https://www.youtube.com/c/AtunSheiFilms

Sounds like it's time to drop the Hamer on the south again!

Light hearted jokes at the expense of black people are a grand American tradition. “They” were even featured in art & carnival attractions

Best video I could find of her testimony at Mississippi Democratic Convention. I encourage you to listen https://youtu.be/07PwNVCZCcY

It's a catch-22. "You have the right to vote as long as your vote doesn't change anything. If it does you will be killed or chased away."
rotzverpopelt
I think we would be better if we don't build statues for people but for ideas.
Zadwanaa
There needs to be a statue for any person who purchased winzip
Lobsterfest10k
"The Fonz" is a character, so technically someone's idea
EvilAbedsBoneSaw
Hot take: we build statues of people who had thought-provoking ideas.

Replace all confederate general statues with union general statues.
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Leave the Confederate general statues in front of the Union general statues, laid broken and decapitated on the ground.
ICheckUsernameAndSuch
Or with POC who were punished/beaten for standing up for civil rights.
ImostlyCommentNotPost
I thought we didn't want statues that remind us of terrible things
impidge
I just don't like statues
pumpkinpiepatch
Kinda outdated
Lucky246
Of people, i will only accept dogs and other animals
Rendova
I'd prefer a statue of John Brown pointing his finger at General Lee with a caption: "You put down me, I put down you you insurrectionist."
impidge
Or just plant a tree

The patterns have always been there.

What pattern? Plaid? What am I missing besides my sanity?? Illuminate me.
cosinewave
Denying rights including the vote. Many who encouraged the black vote were hurt or killed over the years.

How is it that Alabama and Mississippi tend to vote red with so many black residents? Systematic suppression is the likely cause.
WhistlinDickC
Alabama is only roughly 70/30 white/black

Jim Crow laws & Segregation are alive and well in Israel & the WestBank still.
BlueSorceress
And China, which has openly legislated Han Chinese supremacy.
SilkyAvenger
Israel is asshoe
ilyasInternetSmuggler
Immunity for Israeli settlers, Israeli crimes under Jim Crow Courts, Jim Crow Judges. Even a Supreme Ct Judge is an illegal settler.
Jimthebutler
I'll be honest, I care way more about ending racism in my country than in someone else's right now.
PotatoFaceSmurf666
Israel is a war criminal
ilyasInternetSmuggler
The Zionists are out in force downvoting anti Jim Crow sentiment again. They never get tired. Lmao
Koga90
A guy with great talent that bore tremendous responsibility during a defining moment of a nation replaced by a whining woman lol
FartmanMD
Dude he was the opposing nation to the United States. Would be like putting a statue of hitler up.
KirkSteel
You wonder why more people don’t worship really hard-working traitors? SMH
ordomalleus61337
A racist piece of shit who fought for slavery and lost badly versus a civil rights hero. See I can do it too ya wee cunt.
deathandtaxes1
The tremendous responsibility of ensuring that nobody took away the confederates slaves and whose loss defined him and his ilk as backwards/
deathandtaxes1
Degenerate pieces of shit for all time.
delpharseven
He is overrated as a general. Once the Union started putting generals who weren't political appointees in charge, Lee started losing.
zerozolo
Shut up you monster.
kakivara
I mean... not to be That Guy(tm), but that sentence describes Hitler also. You're leaving out a few important details.
stevencloser
It's okay, Godwin gave us permission.
TimbitsAreDonutHoles
Oh yes, treason. Because the govt would no longer allow total exploitation of labor. Such responsibility. Fuck him and fuck you.

Damn it abe we had a good thing going!
