can't we all just get along

probably not, but you can bet your ass the media will want you to think it

Put up in the 20's - by the KKK, disguised as local political leaders.

Reminder to returning vets of color....'we still in charge 'round hee-yah!'

Republican hypocrisy is on fire these days...

We can find hypocrisy on both the Left and the Right, in both the Democratic Parties. On this issue, I believe that Confederate monuments should be removed from PUBLIC land and auctioned off to museums, private collectors, and Civil War reenactors. I certainly don't support the mobs and vandals.

I say make it like religious statues on public land: if you allow statues to one enemy of the United States you have to allow statues to every enemy.

Want your Robert E Lee on horseback, Marching Confederates, and Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldiers? Sure! But they'll be sharing space with Benedict Arnold on horseback, Marching Wermacht, and the Tomb of the Unknown Viet Cong.

:D

I'm offended!!

Revolutionary ideas on this post

Much needed at this time. We are so devided only a war can fix that.

I wish we could just drop this stupid thing for good and just get along with each other,
:*(

On one hand, it's important to acknowledge history, and it seems biased if we look at it as the Confederates as "bad guys" that should be shunned, but on the other hand, the Union won which means that they had the right to portray themselves as the good guys. All I know is, if it seems to be promoting him, then yes take it down, but if it is just acknowledging that he existed, that should be fine. Same thing with Hitler IMO. There shouldn't be any neonazi statues, but statues showing it how he looked like should be ok. Also, did everyone forget that Robert E Lee was super anti slavery, and only went to the Confederacy because Virginia joined them? Anyways, violence is not the answer, no matter what.

I think both sides are idiots....
And the media doesn't mind dividing the American people just to get more ratings.

Lady, how you going to mention that idea? And then say its mine! you crazy! I also don't think you should talk to me about being offended.

What an odd interpretation of current events...
