    Well then tip your cap mission accomplished, proggies rid the world of the horrors of an antique that most of their own kind couldn't even identify because its not even taught in school anymore. Meanwhile another couple hundred people were slaughtered by gangland violence over the weekend but, heh, I guess Black lives just don't matter all that much aye?

    Your dodge is noted. Those who dont accept their history are destined to repeat it.

    Who said those on the left support the current gang violence ? Your making statements to make yourself feel better but have no basis in reality. Almost all of the democratic leadership has condemned the violence by ANTIFA, and other groups. But its another talking point to say “defund the police”, when that polls VERY low in the Democratic Party, and the actual message has been bastardized to meet a political need. It was never “defund the police” it was “defund the police from buying military equipment to use against their citizens”. But I will give you this, the repubs are much better at their messaging, even when it isnt based in fact, or even reality

    Social Justice Warriors: Making the world 'better' one irrelevant statue or innocuous word at a time. Take a look around man. The ghetto jungles of America are overflowing, crime death and misery are at an all time high for the very people that SJWs have laughably fooled themselves into thinking they are helping. Statues of forgotten figures didn't get us here, radical progressives pandering to degenerates did.

    She's crouching. It would look better if she were standing.

    Maybe, but that wasn't my first impression.

    I think they took the statue, at least in part, to avoid controversy if it was left while the others were removed.

    Then ask yourself why ghettos even exist, while we have private citizens with enough disposable income to build their own private spacecraft ?

    LOL how convenient, you want history but not your parties history. I love the hypocrisy of the left, you act one way, do another, tell a lie enough and hope we believe. You're problem is most on here are a little more edumicated lol.

    I guess your right the Progressive left thinks the Sacagawea, were so dumb they helped Lewis and Clark or maybe they were so weak they had to help. Most of the Right think they were so talented Lewis and Clark sought them out to have them lead the way. Same with other races on the left trying to help lol.

    Can't argue against facts, you would have been better off just saying that or nothing at all.

    "You're problem is most on here are a little more edumicated"

    Lol

    The implication therein, if I'm following you, is that we could redistribute some wealth to build better communities for those people to move out of the ghetto and into. Well, that has been done many many times. You've heard the term 'the projects', well that's government taking money from us citizens and using it to build homes for people who you would expect to be from a ghetto. What happens 99 times out of 100? The projects become the next ghetto. I'm sure you remember hurricanes Katrina. We all hear about evacuees and survivors being put up in hotels (and usually ruining them) but they don't stay there forever. I don't know if you know this or not but FEMA constructs massive trailer parks for the people displaced by storms. Well it didn't take long for those nice neat clean parks to turn into crime ridden, gang controlled, ghettos. Every time we think we can just throw money at the problem all we end up doing is growing it.

    So while taking people out of a bad element and putting them into a good one might seem like a logical step it is by no means the first or last one needed in order to resolve the ghetto problem. There are two things we need to do before any others if we're ever going to make a lasting impact.
    1. Control their numbers. Encourage and incentivize birth control, supply free contraceptives, provide free abortions. Discourage chain breeding by putting hard caps on per-child welfare payouts and other credits.
    2. Break people free from this 'thug life' culture of criminality. A massive cultural push to purge through shame the idolization of ghetto mannerisms from movies, tv, music, sports. One should not feel proud roaming the streets slinging crack rock with their pants at their knees speaking a form of English barely more developed than toddler babble.
    After the numbers are manageable and the motivations for being a piece of **** are gone we'll be in a better position to making meaningful and lasting changes.

    Speaking of "edumicated", it's you're. Then, place a period behind right. Next, capitalize the t in the . There should be no capitalized p in progressive. There should be no comma after Sacagawea. Add an s to think as Right is singular. "Same with other races on the left trying to help lol." is a fragment sentence.


    Edumicated describes you to the bone. That's sad for a 49 year old male. Lol

    Conservatives fought to keep slavery. Progressives fought to end it. Ideologies have switched parties. You know this but choose to pretend you don't because it makes your party look horrible. Then again, I don't blame you.

    Typical left wing tactic. Conflate the past with the present. You must be a democrat. Proud of your parties past?

    Correct spelling must only apply offline.

    Anyway, the GOP is the party of bigotry, hatred, and voter suppression because "black people won't vote for us". Waaahhhhh........

    Proud of your party's present?

    What I am claiming is currently the US does more to protect the rights of racial minorities than any other country in the World. Do you disagree?

    That seems like almost a certainty considering George Floyd's birthday is just a few days from Columbus Day.
