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

    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?

    I've wanted them gone forever. Most posters who have been around for a while can attest to the things I have been saying about the south and the CSA for years.

    So you should be happy that you have a martyr to the cause.

    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!

    They are something concrete in the culture wars. *Nothing* will change if and when they're all gone. The SJW's will just move onto something else.

    But yeah, I have no doubt that many if not most of the protestors drove by them for years and never gave them a second thought.

    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.

    Yeah, you and this idiot haven't learned the history lesson I've tried to give you RW morons on this forum. You keep trying to equate Democrats of the 19th century and earlier parts of the 20th with those of today. Different animals, idiot. Those early Democrats are what Republicans are today. Conservatives. Often Christian conservatives.

    Wear that mantle, dimwit. It suits you.

    The Dems weren't much into free market capitalism back then, either.
