And trashing things isn't the right way to go about it anyway.

Oh everyone has to continue to be reminded of slavery....give me a break.

And kneeling in a man's neck isn't trashing????

And when Hillary defended it, saying black youth were super-predators who needed to be taken to heel, she was actually a Republican?

And all the whole lot of nothing that Obama didn't do for black people was due to the fact that Republicans were called Democrats at the time?

Good to know!

Psst! Good points but - to be fair to Clara - I think she was being a tad sarcastic.

Thanks for the post though. I don't remember Hillary saying that. Wow!

I don't think Clara was being sarcastic, but I could be wrong.

I'm old enough to remember it and I couldn't believe she said it.

Still waiting to see why you're accusing me of saying something I never said.

What is up with you loony libs that you have to lie every time you don't like what someone has posted?

I'm sure I'll get an apology.

What are you talking about dude lol.

The party of slavery, i.e. the DemocRATS.

Contracting, erecting, and maintaining statues/monuments sure does seem like big government to me. And where in the Constitution, Team Red's sacred scroll, does the federal government get the power to do those things?

You have spiraled into a state of irrelevancy on that post.

Exactly the same as what used to be a Pharisee is now called a Christian. The establishment vs. the hippies. For some unknown reason, Christianity has become right wing, which is the exact opposite of how true Christians who actually knew Jesus were.

In the same vein, Republicans are now Democrats and vice versa.

So enough blaming the Democrat party for violations of the civil rights of black people and for being the party of the Klan.

Those people were today's republicans, which back in the day were called Democrats.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. That which we now call a Republican would have looked the other way at robe wearing cross burners in the 1920's.

So Republicans - stop trying to take credit for what people who were opposing your core beliefs in the Civil War, and through the Civil Rights movement did. They just had your name, not your moral behaviors.

Utter BS. Obfuscation at it's most disgraceful.

Au Contraire, now you see the issue from the other side. You did know there was an "other side", didn't you? Perhaps not.

Well, I call for the banning and disestablishment of the Democrat party which was founded for the sole or principal purposes of perpetuating slavery, and has worked towards that goal ever since, usually in active participation with its full-fledged partner the KKK.

Tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down, tear it down...!!!

What if people started tearing down statues of MLK across this country, instead of our founding fathers, Columbus, or military heros? I'm sure NO one would find that offensive or hurtful, right?
