That is what BLM is all about only, it is a racist organization, nothing more, nothing less.

Anyways, I am sure most Democrats will condemn this and you will see key Democrats come out in support of Grant as he was not a Confederate and a positive force for civil rights in his era.
Wake me up when the dems condemn this. Have they ever condemned their brownshirts ever? Seems to be a lot of 'small amounts of people' across the country commiting these acts. Peace and love im sure

I wonder how many people are feigning support or just being silent about BLM and the Democrat's canceling culture out of fear of being defamed, fired or otherwise persecuted? If Biden wins, then Democrats will believe BLM riots and cancel culture are the winning strategy and they'll never end. I sure hope the "silent majority" at least come out and reelected Trump.

Sorry. Anyone who votes Democrat supports and enables this conduct. Including you.

I will be very interested to see if Pelosi and Biden have the stones to stand up to the mob and condemn the destruction of Grant's statue. I'm betting they'll say nothing. All of them have pretty much put the Neo-Marxist Revolutionary Left in the driver's seat. They've bet the farm that this is the sort of thing that most Americans actually want. They've been cheering from the sidelines as these crazy little Communist psychopaths rampage across America destroying anything that the feel like destroying at the moment.

Until he stands up to these lunatics, a vote for Biden is a vote of endorsement for all of this destruction, chaos and idiocy. And the Dems are carrying the torch for the abolition of the police -- the people who would normally be tasked with stopping these things. They tell the police to stand down and let their destructive rampage continue unabated. They release the rioters from jail and refuse to prosecute them. The Democrats are 100% behind these people. Democratic voters really need to hold them accountable if they don't agree.

Pretty sure that my joking about them tearing down statues of Frederick Douglass and George Washington Carver just became extremely likely ... because "Black Lives Matter" ... naturally.
I'm not an admirer of Grant. No, not because of Confederate sympathies. My dislike of him is post Civil War. That extends to Harrison and Hayes. But I'm not down with ANY of this monument destruction.

I'm afraid that all this has gone to far to pull back. It's time to get down to business. The lines are forming up and these rabid baboons are needing put down. And hard!

I dont feel much like it. Things I'd way rather do. But these animals are going to come to where we all live. They will spare no one. The enemy has shown themselves.

And they are being pandered to, endless placating and appeasing. Pampered and encouraged even by the people responsible for public safety. Black Lives Matter is being trumpeted in the halls of Congress. And that slogan has become the flying cry for destruction and mayhem.

(sigh) I fear that its really come down to it this time. This is an ugly time, and nothing good can come of it. But in seems we got it do dont it. Things have been peacefull here. But these flea bitten rodents wont be able to abide that methinks.

They are coming. Sooner than later. I take heart in the fact that there will be folks of all colors standing with me when the time comes to get busy. We're not drawn up on color lines here. All that matters is this is our home. Our loved ones are here.

And this we WILL defend. So bring it on. Were getting sick of this ***** footin' around. Let's get it over with.

Then what the hell are they waiting for? This didn't just start yesterday afternoon. And why are the Democrats in the primarily Democrat-controlled jurisdictions where these cultural cleansings are taking place not lifting a god damn finger to stop it?

Don't hold you breath waiting for that to happen.

You'll suffocate.

No matter, just stay beholden to the Dems.

BLM has basically become a political organization more than anything and their desire is to grab as much political power as they can, via the Democratic Party, to try to control public policy in the U.S.

The reason that statues and other public memorials are being destroyed is because the leadership of BLM are avowed Marxists and their intent is to grab political power and to move America away from capitalism and towards socialism.

I think I'd seen this before. It's just one of hundreds of outright admissions that BLM is a Neo-Marxist organization. I have no idea why Democrats are so determined play "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" on the matter. These people are proud of their Marxist ideology. It's not something they go out of their way to hide either. Lucky for them, their public relations propaganda specialists at CNN, MSNBC, Vox, NYT, etc. know that America isn't a huge fan of Marxism, and does everything within their power to blow smoke up our butts denying any and all connection between Marxism and BLM and/or Antifa.

The same ideology that killed somewhere between 100 and 200 million innocent people -- most of them killed during peacetime -- is the beating heart that informs the entire BLM movement.
