I just rendered the entire premise of this thread moot. You should be more happy because I just saved everyone a lot of time
I guess we disagree that history is being removed. The confederacy will not be forgotten if a statue honoring their exploits is removed from the town square.
Of course you did.
History isn’t being removed.
How much history has been learned by looking at a statue?
In fact, this thread has shown how much ignorance of history of why the Confederate statues exist in the first place.
The statues are there…but WHY the statues were put up, hardly anyone knows.
And when the motivation for putting them up is exposed (to perpetuate the Lost Cause Myth and white supremacy)…we get attacks of “that’s just a Lib rewriting of history”.
So the statues themselves are obviously not teaching us one thing about history.

In recap:
We will be invading Iraq again because they forgot their history by toppling a Saddam statue, and will soon install another bad dude.
Some rock and roll devil music was defeated by Jesus 50 years ago. We can’t know all the details because the evidence had to be destroyed in burnings, but it went something like that.
So you like to pick and choose who can and can’t be racist?
Why are you giving Obama a pass for his racist past with Rev. Wright?

I agree.
History is written in books, not on statues. Fortunately fewer people read books each day. The fewer the reminders, the faster they can collect dust.
Apparently, Jesus is next.
You too give Obama a pass, why?
I’m a liberal.
That says something about Christians if Christian families don’t make sure they read the Bible regularly and need Jesus statues to remind them, now doesn’t it?

What does it say?
Well Jesus couldn’t have been white… but there is no way that establishment will change that.
Sick!
Jesus could have been anything he decided to be. Why do you say he couldn’t have been white?
Do you know what a liberal believes in?
It says they’re not keeping up on their faith if they can’t be bothered to read the book that’s the foundation of their faith.
But yes, an alarming trend of the digital age is the loss of the power of books, and the titanic shift in how humans think because we live in a digital age and not a pre-digital age.
It’s one of the reasons why logic and logical refutation are a lost art…the era of the sound byte and the image on the screen don’t support such a structured mode of thinking.
Statues aren’t going to change that.
When I look at what Obama did I’d have to say genocide.
What’s the difference between a Liberal and a Lib? Honest question.
What does The Book say about judging another’s faith?
I agree.
The good news is it is relatively easy to control access and emphasis on the internet.

Excellent comparison. The confederacy is just like Obama attending church.
