Another Traitor Monument Comes Down

[Mason Michaels]

Earlier you said "vets".

I said I would have liked the vets to get it.

There was no treason. Leaving isn't treason.

Oh,good then leave!

A statue to a cause like slavery does not affect me *personally* because I'm not black nor were my ancestors slaves or slavers. However, it does affect me because it affects my fellow citizens in negative ways. Here's an example. My university has as part of its self-description this: "Northern Michigan University is located on the ancestral homelands of the Anishinaabe Three Fires Confederacy. Gichi-Namebini Ziibing is the traditional name of this area now also called Marquette. For more information visit the Center for Native American Studies website at nmu.edu/nativeamericans." As you might expect, we have a fairly large population of indigenous people here. Now can you imagine if someone were to erect a statue of Custer, or Andrew Jackson, or a monument to residential schools on our campus? How do you suppose the indigenous students and their allies would feel and react?

Most would react exactly like I do. Most people don't dwell on the past. I'm half native American and what happened to my people was terrible but it happened and there is nothing I can do to change history. In fact I welcome the exposure of what the white man did to the native Americans as it raises awareness of people that this great country came at a price on both sides. You mention Custer that was a great victory for Sitting Bull but it came with a terrible after cost. That is why I think it is dumb to take reminders of past injustices such as statues and monuments down. All that does is degrade the sacrifices people made to overcome those injustices.

I have no reason to leave, BOY. I have people like you to educate.

You clearly don't understand what treason is. By your "logic", Japan was committing treason against the U.S. during WW II.

it's not my definition. I quoted the United States Constitution you drug-addled drunken moron.

No one is celebrating. Most of those monuments were there during the civil rights era. No one bitched then. Why now? Just leave it alone.

Every single person who supports a commemorative statue to a foreign enemy on American soil is celebrating. That's why they were erected, and it's why they stand today. During the Civil Rights era, we were scraping just convince one half of the country to recognize the basic rights and humanity of certain citizens. We didn't have time to tell the pro-Confederate crowd to shift their allegiance from a long dead enemy country over to America.

My flags are still flying and your whiny ass is still crying.

No you said this:

Any Confederate who fought against
his country should have lost their land,and the land resettled by Northern vets or freed slaves.

Should", not "I'd prefer that".

I understand why you are backing away though, because your position was untenable. In other words: "devoid of logic".

You don't know what should means?
