    Yep. Time to erase Lincoln from American history.

    Maybe we should just erase everything before 2009.

    A real shame. Historical features should be the domain of neutral historians, not opportunistic politicians.

    As there were no perfect being ever (except the one we crucified 2000 years ago), I predict that such monuments will soon be a thing of the past.

    Well, it was either him, or Lee's great-great granddaughter's cousin's roomate's dog.

    Did you see how the antiFA imbeciles have already mistaken an old statue of an old white guy for someone he isn't?

    Doubtless they'll think this is an example of Lincoln forcing a slave to shine his shoes...or something.

    Well.

    If our history never happened, we're going to have to tear that one down too, no?

    Black wackos are not interested in healing

    They could erect statues that tell their history and give the next generation a complete education

    But its much more fun to hate the old Confederates and their descendents living today

    Black pride is about humilation and hate not pride

    I simply cannot quite understand why a man who fought against the United States (and lost) is so revered. Nor does it make sense to go nuts over statues created in the 20th century to celebrate a history of this country best left in the history it lives in. The only reason for all this is the same one found on bumpers and windows of pickup trucks below the gun rack. Celebrate a confederacy that ended the lives of more Americans than any other war because you think the same way they did.

    Losers worshiping losers is a losing proposition.

    I heard the same thing about Jewish pride (or whatever it is called).

    I saw that video. Bunch of white social justice warriors competing with each other to show who is the most outraged.

    Does Jewish pride involve hating germans for eternity?

    Wes Bellamy has been the cheerleader for removing statues in Charlottesville.

    http://www.charlottesville.org/depa...-a-g/city-council/council-members/wes-bellamy

    “I DON’T LIK WHIT PEOPLE,” Tweet, Wes Bellamy


    There were racist tweets, such as his comment in 2009: “I DON’T LIK WHIT PEOPLE SO I HATE WHITE SNOW!!!!! FML!!!!” And his 2010 tweet: “I really #hate how almost 80% of the black people here talk white.”

    There were inappropriate and crude tweets. The same year, he tweeted: “ALRIGHT. My phone goin ham. Lol. THERE IS A DIFF BETWEEN ASS& EATIN *****!!! I repeat THERE IS A DIFF BETWEEN ASS& EATIN *****!”

    There were also sexist posts. “I’m all for equal opportunity..but a Female Principal with a school full of female teachers is fkn a sure fire way to fk our lil boys up smh,” he tweeted in October 2011.

    In my recent google research on these "white pride" groups and people I was surprised to see that hatred of Jews for eternity seems to be even stronger than their dislike of blacks.

    Not really sure what this has to do with anything.....

    If nothing else Robert E Lee s a fantastic story of loyalty, heartache and tough decisions. Would be a great drama movie actually

    Cool.

    Sounds just like the Neo-Nazi/KKK/White Nationalist/Alt-Right/Trump CREDO.
