    Default 110 Confederate monuments removed since 2015

    Poor poor peckerwoods , life will get worse for the mutants


    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- It took generations to erect all the nation's Confederate monuments, and a new report shows they're being removed at a pace of about three each month.

    The study -- released Monday (June 4) by the Southern Poverty Law Center -- shows that 110 Confederate monuments have been removed nationwide since 2015, when a shooting at a black church in South Carolina energized a movement against such memorials.

    The number -- which includes schools and roads that have been renamed in California, a repurposed Confederate holiday in Georgia, plus rebel flags and monuments that have been taken down in Alabama, Louisiana and elsewhere -- represents a relative handful compared with the more than 1,700 memorials that remain to hail the Southern "lost cause."

    Fact: The Civil War is still covered in schools, colleges, documentaries, museums, reenactments, etc., and is still talked about a great deal.

    Therefore, it is unnecessary to build monuments celebrating the greatness and moral superiority of the CSA for people like CFM to jerk-off to.

    are you removing monuments from americas past? then YES!!!! you are erasing history, you idiot.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    the serious answer is an historical commission to separate out the "monuments to Jim Crowe"
    and legit monuments to battles and officers

    they are not monuments to Americas past. They have nothing to do with America...get back into the swamp were you belong. The nation needs to heal from the likes of you.

    Especially since a bunch of them were erected in the civil rights era. Making them less historic, and more akin to a kid writing, down with baths, on a light bright, and putting it on display in the living room. It's sour grapes stuff really.
