Why are civil war statues an issue today, but no one cared for 100 years

[Celticguy]

12 people cared, same cranks who bitch about anything

But when a PBS poll has 63% fine with them you know its no big deal

Seriously people these statues have been there for a hundred years in some cases. Why did they escape the civil rights movement?

Why didn't Obama care?
Why didn't Clinton care?

This is the normal progression after the Confederate flag issue. It has nothing to do with caring. It has to do with state/local authority, and the statues have been scheduled for being moved. It's just that trump energized the Klan with his motivational speeches, so they now actively march without masks.

[Althea]

because it's an EZ target.
Like taking down a statue is actually going to improve race relations? Of course not.
But if it make you feel virtuous- the heck with erasing history!

Well, as long as we're here, it's about the same old smokescreen antics by trump.

Behind the scenes, he does away with voting rights, and Affirmative Action, while everyone is watching his base on t.v waving Nazi flags.

Both Orwell and Huxley warned of future totalitarian dystopias where historical monuments would be demolished

Because the liberal snowflake left NEED, WANT, HAVE TO HAVE A VICTORY; in anything.

They lost so many times that they're willing to align themselves with any reactionary group, in order to say "See, look what we were able to do".

It's really pathetic.

Why didn't we have civil rights for blacks for 200 years?
Why weren't women allowed to vote for 150 years?
Why was the Second Amendment interpreted in the context of the militia until recently?
Why couldn't gays get married until the last couple of years?

Times change, idiot. As does public sentiment. Recognition sometimes comes slowly.

How about, why did Martin Luther King not demand these statues be removed?

Answer, because he was busy doing really worthwhile things...........

Does Robert C. Byrd get to keep his name on a million things because he was a democrat lol?

Yes.

I don't give a shit about Byrd or the inbred hillbillies in WV. If they want to remove his name, let them.

[domer76]

lol

conservative democrats

(laughing)

This one is over your head, isn't it, fucktard? Slap whatever party label you want on them. They are still racist conservatives. Today, we refer to them as Republicans. That would include you, bigot.
