A thuggish looking guy in dreadlocks, wearing nike shoes and a hoodie, hahaha.
Does the political left not realize that this makes them look like idiots?
Are black people not embarrassed by this?

If I were black, I would not want statues of black folks to be depicted like this.
Seems more like a racist negative caricature of a black guy.
because he has locks?

we don’t look down on braids and locks in the Back community.

Its just hair

Do liberals really think these statues are actually being destroyed and not going to museums? Well it's not like Antifa/BLM would spend much time in a museum anyway.
My dear Rocko, if you were a good and faithful Republican, you would support taking down the statues of these fiendish and seditious DEMOCRATS. It baffles me that Republicans are obsessed with keeping the statues of traitorous DEMOCRATS in public spaces. Are we to have a statue of Benedict Arnold in Central Park because he's a part of our "history?" Good God, no sir. Fiends, traitors, and devils, ALL OF THEM!!! Their memory shouldn't fill our public spaces.

It's good that this whole celebrating sedition thing is finally being started to be put behind us. BYE Felicia!!!!
Those Confederates got off lucky. I always thought it was common sense that Confederate generals shouldn't be honored. Remembered, but not honored.

I voted for Bush in 2004 (first election ever), Obama twice, and 3rd party candidates twice. My point is that my disgust for Confederates isn't being influenced by the far left. I hated the Confederate flag when I voted for Bush in 2004.

The left wants to destroy all remains of our country including its history, its language, its morality, and the Constitution. Next it will be the founding fathers, our American flag, our gun rights, our free speech, our National Anthem, and Christianity. It is coming step by step , inch by inch by the demonic dems and Communist China who is funding it .Indoctrination, brainwashing by the MSM are all working together to get it done. The complete destruction of America.



Biden left soldiers behind to tell us that morally we are no longer ethical in nature. The left does as it pleases with no boundaries. They push the envelope to show us just how much they can get away with doing all of this. Wait and see . It will get much worse. Dragging people out of their homes, spying on conversations, and getting many to agree with it. They want to usher in the complete control over us through brainwashing . It is happening now even with our military. Taking us down morally. Planned for sure.

Well, when you’ve done something, anything in life noteworthy maybe we’ll take you seriously. Until then Robert E Lee will be remembered as a great American General and a beloved General by Union and Confederate alike.

Very few people alive have the right to judge those men. Very few.

Thank God I'm old enough to have read actual first hand accounts (written in books) and the actual words of some of these men before the de facto leftist book burning crusade got into high gear. I have quite a number of Civil War era history books that were written by authors who sought to be accurate and present fact rather than authors who seek to write "creative non-fiction" persuasive essay sorts of books (aka, revised history). I want facts, not opinions. And not hyperbolic cherry picking. If the historian/author is not transparent, then he or she may as well be writing a Stephen King type novel.

Fact is what I used to be able to get in history books that I cannot get in recently written history books (save a VERY few authors). Historians should NOT be rhetoricians or propogandists. Essentially the "history" academicians have gone to hell over the past twenty or thirty years. Most of their works are not worth reading.

That gelding either posed in black face, or in the full Klan uniform.

Either way, he's yet another turd in the toilet bowl of politics.

How can violence be justified for one cause and not another?



I wonder how the families of all the british redcoats killed felt about that? It probably looked a lot like domestic terrorism to them at the time.
Uncertain if you're attempting to apply the 'just war theory & doctrine' here?

If so, the American Civil War was a more just War than the American Revolutionary War.
