Statue was up for years. Only became divisive because people listen to young people. Not saying that young people can’t be smart but I’m not about to get lectured on race or history by any youth
I’m so tired of the western world wringing their hands about it’s history. You go anywhere in the world you will find one group who dominated and enslaved another
A dark and twisted part of me wonders if we'll ever get to the point where when blacks screech and yell about slavery, we'll have erased so many monuments and historical markers someone will be able to turn around and go 'What slavery? You're saying the nation split apart at one point and killed millions just to own fuckups like you? Uh huh, and where's your proof? Oh, you don't have any? Shut the fuck up and get back in line, then.'
Not that it'll ever happen like that. The master's tools cannot destroy the master's house, after all.
Meh, fuck it. Maybe it'll make for a good story, or something.
Thank you for the empathy. As an American, I also wept* when your protestors tore down the Colston statue, and got away with it scot-free. I can't live among people like that. This is going to come to a head at some point.
(*spiritually; I'm not gonna cry over a fuckin statue mate)
True. Although the older I get the more I realize I don’t know. Like the Socrates quote about the more you know the more you know that you don’t know. I’ve seen so many super smart young people but it’s applied so horribly
I'm in my early 20s and even I think this is disgusting and dishonest.
History is full of good and bad, but what's important is that we learn from it. We can accept that we're not perfect yet also turn negatives into positives. How can we do that if we can't see history for ourselves?
Ironically, I'm Latino. I'm not sure if that makes me one of the left's preferred victims, but even I think this statue deserves to exist. Erasing history is not the answer.
Only became divisive because people listen to young people the constant torrent of indoctrination pumped out by the left is effective at indoctrinating young people.
There isn't this epidemic of people sitting around contemplating life, and suddenly coming to these conclusions that they all have ultra leftist beliefs. They are being indoctrinated into it. The left has been at it - infesting everything from the inside - for 60+ years.
Because college professors and other leftists have told them they should be. To them, black people are victims, as helpless and dependent as trannies and fags..
I get the impression lately, though, that some black people are beginning to wake up.
The left always operates on short term memory, that’s why they push the “24 hour news cycle” so much. Funny how they’ve all stopped saying “slippery slope”, “no one’s coming for your kids”, “it’s just marriage equality”, “no one is trying to destroy history”. On and on, it’s the same pathetic grind which keeps working because their demographic have zero long term cognitive abilities.
Pretty much. They had to do it in secret because they knew it was the wrong thing to do. No matter how my truthing and lived experiencing they did. Because, rationally, where do you draw the line? Who gets to decide what gets destroyed anytime someone is offended?
Because of his reputation as one of the finest officers in the United States Army, Abraham Lincoln offered Lee the command of the Federal forces in April 1861. Lee declined and tendered his resignation from the army when the state of Virginia seceded on April 17, arguing that he could not fight against his own people.
Racism is finally solved!!!
I'm curious: do y'all ever refer to the 2020 riots as "divisive" or "deadly"??
It's only divisive to the Taliban and the Democrats. Same entities.
when will the city of Charlottesville return the land this statue was placed on to it's rightful owner? Since it was GRANTED to the city by a family on condition that it be used to house the monument?
Can't wait to melt down Obama and Floyd statues. Can't wait!
Try as they might, history will not be erased.
Absolutely shameful.
Disgusting.
History cannot be erased.
Those who attempt to do so are certainly going to repeat it.
Good job. You’ve now joined the ranks of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, and Hussein’s Republican Guard in destroying the landmarks of history you want to cover up so that you can repeat them in perpetuity.
Orwellian
Protecting democracy by erasing history
Next up... The Jefferson memorial. Wait for it. One can only imagine what the SJW WaPo would recommend in it's place.

And the entire establishment fought against it, even getting the EU puppets involved. All over a private company being legally bought out. Almost like they know they can't survive without 100% control of the Narrative
My rage is immeasurable and my day is...well, I was playing D4 since it was free so it was already ruined but still...
Seriously, though, I can't put into words my frustration with this nonsense; both the people doing it, and the media retards cheering it on. Civil War happened a long time ago. Winners already won, losers already lost. For better or worse. Can't we just leave it as is, without destroying history, and then bragging about it like a bunch of fucking faggots?
Robert E. Lee was less racist than your average modern leftist, leave him the fuck alone.
And I like the writing with the "focus of the deadly Unite the Right rally," when the whole reason for that focus/rally was that fucking leftist subversives were trying to destroy history back then too. It's not like "The Right" rallied around a random Robert E. Lee statue for no fucking reason, aside from that they were racist as shit and wanted to enslave black people again, or something. No. As always, the left led the charge.
One side won, one side lost, both sides were made up of people with high enough IQs to have the capacity to shake hands and get over it later, and then we brought in tens of millions of lower IQ people who've been fighting ethnic grudge wars for thousands of years and destroyed it for good.
Since they are too cowardly to attach a name to this announcement you are free to assume every employee of the washington post who doesn't publicly disavow it is equally responsible.

Because we are moving towards having slavery again - WEF corporate slavery.

Don't worry, once they get used to chucking humanoid statues onto the pyre, they'll stop worrying about statues.
Young people can be smart, but rarely are they wise.
That said, the young people of today are generally neither.
True. Although the older I get the more I realize I don’t know. Like the Socrates quote about the more you know the more you know that you don’t know. I’ve seen so many super smart young people but it’s applied so horribly

I hope that this statue can somehow get rebuilt.
Agreed. I’m black and I think it should exist as well. These people don’t even bother learning about Robert E Lee
If only holographic projection was cheap, just slap one up at the site. It gets removed, repeat ad infinitum
Just don't bite your tongue 😆

That’s true and I was guilty of ignoring it. I used to assume that kids in college would go into the real world and see how things really are.
You and everybody else who just wanted to get on with life until the left wouldn't let us.
why would anyone be intimidated by a statue of a war hero anyway
Because college professors and other leftists have told them they should be. To them, black people are victims, as helpless and dependent as trannies and fags..

Black vote groundswell for Trump next year?

Yet the Lenin statue still stands in Seattle.
Democracy needs to hurry up and die.
We need a good supply of morally upstanding warrior philosopher kings first.
Best I can do right now is Donald Trump.
someone proud of their actions wouldn't do it secretly.
Releasing the video and pointing out that they specifically let a race hustler professor watch is pure gloating.
Pretty much. They had to do it in secret because they knew it was the wrong thing to do. No matter how my truthing and lived experiencing they did. Because, rationally, where do you draw the line? Who gets to decide what gets destroyed anytime someone is offended?
Here's a random selection of replies on twitter.
RIP
LAND BACK!
It cost 44 billion dollars to disarm the jannies on the one major website where you can make posts like that.
And the entire establishment fought against it, even getting the EU puppets involved. All over a private company being legally bought out. Almost like they know they can't survive without 100% control of the Narrative
After the war, Robert Lee was a voice for reconciliation. These people don't want equality, they want your destruction.
My rage is immeasurable and my day is...well, I was playing D4 since it was free so it was already ruined but still...

This is deliberate demoralization.

destroy their monuments in broad daylight, then
Original slogan: Democracy dies and darkness.
They're about as subtle covering up their true motives as Clark Kent wearing glasses.
People who descended from immigrants who got here in 1960 are way angrier about the Civil War than people who had family here in 1760.
