Well those 120 republicans that voted against their removal seem to have a love affair with the confederate insurrectionists, I guess they have a lot in common based on Jan 6.

Jewish folk still received reparations and they damn sure didn’t refuse the money.

I don’t feel any pride seeing those statues. I see a blatant attempt to honor the losers.

I think statues like these belong in museums. Who the hell celebrates the losers of a civil war? That is just weird.
Why are you so afraid of history?

The only Jews receiving reparations from Germany are those who were DIRECT VICTIMS. And the reparations were paltry compared to what they lost: my grandmother’s second husband lost his home, all property, and his health (for the remainder of his lifetime, he suffered the physical effects), and he got $8000 a year.

My grandmother lost her own mother and sister, and the sister’s four children, and of course that meant by father lost his grandmother, aunt, and cousins. Neither got one red cent.

Your comparison between the direct victims of Hitler and the blacks five generations removed from slavery doesn’t hold water.

Another black poster on this thread said it’s a deal. Only the militant blacks would demand we give want THEY want and they get to keep disrespecting the American flag.

It’s not only about what blacks want. What whites want is important too.

One thing I know, if the Union soldiers could see what is happening today they would have either gone home or switched sides.

Mass genocide & mass race-based enslavement are crimes against humanity. An individual or country who supports either are traitors to humanity.

As for that ridiculous old canard re: political parties, it would be helpful if folks would expend as much energy attempting to grow a spine, as opposed to being apologists.

The 2 'parties' in the American Civil War were "Slave-Holding States" (as they referred to themselves) & Free States.

Thank you for your admission of reparations being received.

People are free to respect AnD disrespect the flag if they want.

This isn’t North Korea or China.
