The Force is With Me
The city council voted unanimously to rid the city of the monuments.

All four of Baltimore’s Confederate statues were removed overnight, just days after a white nationalist rally erupted into chaos and violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Baltimore City Council voted unanimously Monday night to immediately take down the monuments. City crews began the removal process at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and finished around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to The Baltimore Sun.*Hours earlier,*President Donald Trump had defended the white nationalist demonstrators who gathered in Virginia over the weekend.

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said the city moved “as quickly as we could” to get rid of the monuments.

“It’s done,” Pugh told the Sun. “They needed to come down. My concern is for the safety and security of our people.”

Several cities are now reportedly*considering removing their own Confederate monuments following Saturday’s deadly clashes in Charlottesville, including Memphis, Tennessee; Lexington, Kentucky; Jacksonville, Florida; and Washington, D.C.

The Hollywood Forever Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in Los Angeles, announced Tuesday that it plans to remove a monument honoring Confederate veterans.

This war is necessary and critical for the future of this nation.

count me out

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out

You're already in .. and you've chosen a side. Trump is your side.

America's history of vile and disgusting evil isn't being purged, it's being put in it's proper context .. not as tributes.

It's purging. It's erasing historical figures from the public view/thought.
If I asked you about Civil war battles -would you have a clue? Doubtful

Trump isn't a racist -in fact he's tried to out reach to the inner cities.

Go have your war, don't drag me into a Cultural Revolution pogrom. I refuse .

All the evil and its symbols and warriors will be remembered by history. We should never forget that horror. But evil has no place in public view. They are the American swastika .. which also finds no place in public view in Germany today.

"Trump isn't a racist" is a monumentally MINDBOGGLINGLY stupid statement today.

ya ya.. you have no clues."swastika" "Nazi" "Confederates" are all the same.
What an amazing display of self imposed ignorance.

You had Trump as a "racist" long ago. I'm not a racist and I never got any racist vibe.
But good brother our perceptions aren't the same, so I give you a pass you are being honest here at least.

Dude, please :rofl2: That's coming off as pure comedy to me. Talk about ignorance.

This isn't about your 'vibe' .. it's about policies, tweets, and statements. It's about Trump supporting racists and nazis ,, and you in all your 'analyst' guise can't even figure out what is clearly right in your face.

Feel free to glorify all the nazis and confederates you like .. I don't care. I'm not telling you what to think. I don't care.
 
Who knew that BAC Panther was so weak that a statue makes him sad? No wonder he needs affirmative action

where do you see racist tweets. I recall the "Mexican judge" thing- characterized as "racist"-but that's about it.

No comment on Trump's attempted outreach to the black community huh?

"Nazis and Confederates" shows your conflated ignorance ( unless Robert E Lee gassed 6 million jews I was unaware of?)
if you understood the battles/aftermaths maybe you'd see the people back then were able to put things in historical effective -which you and your ilk cannot do 150 year later.

Go have your war. Leave me out of it-I've seen what Cultural Revolutions are all about.
 
You responded to my post. I can't help it if you don't like the answers.

Trump's 'outreach' to the black community was a fucking joke. How is it that you don't know that if you're an analyst?

If you don't like my answers, perhaps you shouldn't ask me questions.
