Protestors Topple Confederate Monument in North Carolina

Should have been saved for history, but Nazis walking through the streets and the President backing them leads to drastic action. Tear down the racist reminders, southern losers don't need participation trophies.

It is really remarkable that Americans are now further from achieving Lincoln's dream of national unity than they were in 1890; there are people in this thread right now who feel more animosity towards the Confederacy than did many of the men who actually fought against it.

That most of you seem to view the civil war as 'WWII on American soil' is an indictment of the American educational system.

Is absolute national unity a worthwhile goal if it means that people will have another Civil War?

Republicans failed back in the day, should have fully subjugated the south and purged this evil from coming back, instead we just had to let it fester for over 100 years as people worship traitors and slavery.

I'm sure that everyone who supports these statues due to "history" would be ok if Islamic groups or others erected statues to the 9/11 (or other terrorists), right? If you don't support it you're "trying to forget history"?

No one is in a better position to identify things that are worse for black people than segregation than a white conservative.

Hey, they also like to change speeches to say that "the white liberal" was the one standing in the way of equality when it actually was "the white moderate".

A bunch of whiners at UNC now protesting monuments.  Get out and earn a living and get the hell off of my TV.

Not sure if you're there yet but can't wait until we can say "stop complaining, get a job and get off your social security welfare check!".

Nope 10 years away, pal, and if you think I'm relying on SS to be there or to live on, you're insane.  And the only place you'll find me protesting is on a golf course when I f[inks[ up a 2 foot putt.

Cheating on scores too? Because that's all my boomer dad comes back and bitches about is all the other old bitches bitch about playing like crap and cheat their scorecards.

Sounds more interesting than a bunch of dumb kids talking about how oppressive the inanimate stone figures are.

Really it's just the mentally ill mindset of that age group, the true "me", selfish generation.
