Well there is a statue of Gandhi a stones throw from Parliament in London.
Gandhi of course lead the people in a nonviolent disobedience to free India from the control of England.
The people of England recognize that someone like Gandhi though he opposed English rule is non the less a part of its History just as the Generals and leaders of the confederacy are part of American History.
I know a guy who is big into the Civil War and the reenactments of battles. He is older now but he used to go to many of them.
Will the Social Justice Warriors target these reenactments next because it depicts battles that the southern oppressors occasionally won.
Will they demand that the Confederate battle flag not be carried because it might offend someone in the audience??
The Dukes of Hazard a silly fun show from the 80's was taken off the air due to the car in the show having a confederate flag painted on the roof. Someone was offended.
The statues are coming down because someone was offended.
When and where will this nonsense end?
I'm offended by these people who are offended, who do I call to have them removed??
