It's time to remove the monster MLK. His mistreatment of women is shameful.

Okay this is gonna be my last post on this. I respect your position Old Guard I understand the Confedracy has strong connections to people and heritage. I personally believe anything related to the government shouldn’t have relation to the confederacy. The government doesn’t have any streets named after Nazis. But that’s not the point. If there’s one thing these protests have shown is that we have a lot more to do till black people in America get equality. I’m glad that instead of revenge we are seeking equality. And we have a long way to go in race relations but Phil Collins said it best. You can’t hurry love it’s a game of give and take

The funny thing is what I have heard from African Americans over and over is how Africans coming over from Africa treat them as not equal. This has been supported by statements I have heard from Africans from Africa regarding African Americans.

Also you are not coming from love, you are coming from hate and control. You have yet to address places like the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial, though I am sure after all the confederate statues and other art is destroyed.



Frankly if this was such a serious problem to you I have to question your intelligence, moving to a state with confederate street names and statues when you could have gone 60 miles north or to the west and this would not even be an issue. My family is from the North and I came for the US Army but I could see your family history having a lot more in common with the confederacy given the history of slavery in Ethiopia.
