Silent Sam' is down: Protesters topple Confederate statue on UNC campus

Tar Heels' stuck in racist history

Depending upon the source, the name is attributed to Confederate soldiers from North Carolina belittling those from Virginia (they need tar on their heels to make them stand and fight), or as a reference to North Carolina troops' courage (they stand as though they had tar on their heels).

Either way, "Tar Heels" is a symbol of North Carolina being in the Confederacy. You know, the Confederacy, that bastion of slavery, that most profound manifestation of racism.

Face it

Time to drop Tar Heels!

The term has a history that goes back well before the civil war of treason and slavery, racist.
In the days of wooden boats tar or pitch is what made them water-tight.
NC pines were a great source of that pitch.
But you are probably correct, racist. A new name for the students may be in order.
Maybe they should be called "The Racism Destroyers".
That has a nice ring to it, don't you agree, racist?

These traitor statues we put up by the loser southern white trash scum when reconstruction ended and Jim crow was instituted, now over a hundred years later justice is being served



CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Protesters on Monday night toppled the controversial "Silent Sam" statue on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

More than 300 protesters first gathered at the Peace and Justice Plaza at about 7 p.m., before marching to the base of the statue, calling for its removal. By 9:30 p.m., the statue was on the ground and the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Silent Sam" had been standing on the UNC campus since 1913.

Don't be surprised to see a spike in tuition in UNC next year. Their legislature is controlled by conservatives.
 
The "mechanisms" were 105 years too late in coming.This was not vandalism this was the opposite of vandalism.
These brave heroes took the bull by the horns and reversed 105 years of the foot dragging racist agenda.
As a nation we all owe them a debt of gratitude for being so brave.
That sounds as stupid as some of the stuff Angela Davis told us in class a long time ago. No, the mechanisms were recent, not 105 years old. No, this was vandalism, the destruction of public property. As a nation, we owe these criminals a trip through the justice system. Yes, you are an accessory after the fact trying to defend a crime.
 
Julian Carr's statue dedication speech
According to research by W. Fitzhugh Brundage, who is the William B. Umstead Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the purpose of this statue was clearly stated at its 1913 dedication.[9] In his lengthy and now controversial dedication speech[10], industrialist and former Confederate soldier Julian Carr (for whom Carrboro, North Carolina is named) emphatically praised the student-soldiers and soldiers of the Confederate Army for their wartime valor and patriotism.

Towards the end of the speech, Carr stated his belief that:

"The present generation... scarcely takes note of what the Confederate soldier meant to the welfare of the Anglo Saxon race during the four years immediately succeeding the war... their courage and steadfastness saved the very life of the Anglo Saxon race in the South."

Brundage states that 'the four years immediately succeeding the war' is a clear reference to the terrorization of blacks and white Republicans by the Ku Klux Klan, which worked to restore the dominance of the traditional white hierarchy in the south.[9] Carr went on to boast to the campus crowd that:

"One hundred yards from where we stand, less than ninety days perhaps after my return from Appomattox, I horse whipped a negro wench until her skirts hung in shreds because she had maligned and insulted a Southern lady, and then rushed for protection to these University buildings where was stationed a garrison of 100 Federal soldiers. I performed the pleasing duty in the immediate presence of the entire garrison


And now the monument to subhuman filth is down on the ground
 
The Four Olds or the Four Old Things (simplified Chinese: 四旧; traditional Chinese: 四舊; pinyin: sì jiù) was a term used during the Cultural Revolution of 1966–76 in the People's Republic of China to refer to elements of Chinese culture and thinking that proponents of the Cultural Revolution felt needed to be eradicated

That why those statues went up in the first place love, to influence/mindfuck the culture and thinking to suit opponents of the Civil rights movement. We know.
