    When it comes to kissing Obama's black ass, you don't the ultimate participation trophy. Pucker up, NL.
    They fought and LOST!

    But you want to keep the "participation trophies" up.

    In other words, something that does the same thing is different to you lefties.

    I saw some of your lefty tough guys in Durham after they pulled down PUBLIC PROPERTY. They kicked that statue's ass didn't they. The thing is the statue can't fight back. Perhaps that's why they did it.
    here's one of them now

    which lefty you think this is?

    Trump was elected to keep America stuck in the past. They elected him to halt the evolution of the American population.

    They FEAR the browning of America.

    Statues are their way of clinging to the past when all the heroes were white.

    If only they had ovens.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Plus, the statues are beautiful pieces of art.

    Will you also back the removal of the Vietnam Memorial Wall, seeing as how it reflects the US involvement in what liberals are saying was an undeclared and illegal war?

    The Russians can do whatever the fuck they want. Obviously, they aren't too proud of Stalin. Looks like lots of people in the South have similar feelings for the traitorous Confederate leaders.

    Since the common theme seems to be that the South "lost", should we now tear down all memorials to what the left consider illegal and undeclared wars; seeing as how we "lost" several of them, according to liberals?

    should we tear down martin luther king jr. statues because he was against gay people and suggested they see psychiatrists?

    I have often enjoyed seeing confederate statues taken down, myself and 3d and other northerners often troll the south on this board for losing the war due to being the traitors they are.

    But this isn't about really taken down statues of mean guys. It's about erasing history and being spiteful. Intention does matter a bit. Personally I don't care what happens to these statues but I do distrust the motivations of those bringing them down and I bet we will reach a day where people will want to take down jefferson because he owned slaves. I'd have more respect if the side doing this were consistent on their beliefs regarding every person in history having values out of sync with modern standards coming down, but they don't do that.

    The name "Democratic Party", with its awful history, should be retired. Just hearing or reading that Party name offends me.

    The statues are NOT there to honor slavery OR the Democratic Party that fought to preserve it.

    It's fun to be spiteful toward the south. After all, the CSA killed more than 400k Americans in the War of Southern Stupidity. Tearing down the statues of worthless southern traitors is just a fun exercise in showing a conquered people how they lost. I don't really consider southerners to be real Americans, because, they are only part of the US by virtue of being conquered and subjugated.

    They FOUGHT.

    Your post proves you don't know what "participation trophy" means. It's because you've never done anything close to participating just being there running your dick sucker.

    Your kind has been halting it for years but the rest of us have worked hard to overcome it.

    If only you could keep up.
