Huh? Listen I was clear...and I don't know who you mean when you say "they" but t I was pretty clear of my personal opinion. I don't think a loser needs to be honored in the public domain. I understand that people want to do it.. or locals. That doesn't make it okay. Not to me. It may to YOU. It's not okay for ME! Furthermore... grouping all statues together isn't really the point. Some are deserving and some are NOT. The ones that are NOT aren't gonna ride the coattails of the others.
I don't want to hear about Washington if I tell you I don't think General Lee should have a Statue
This isn't complicated. You just try not to be a racist asshole wherever possible....lol. if people say they are offended. Respect their feelings. Many of these negative images that used to be acceptable in the early century are no longer accepted. It's not all that hard to understand....things don't stay the same forever. America wasn't always "great" for everyone. These are just facts.
The people who faced these Southern Generals, Bull Run, Appomattox, Gettysburg, etc., who volunteered to put their lives on the line had no problem with these statues. But you, with your fat ass sitting in from of a computer are offended. Kiss.
I disagree with you...so I'm a racist. OK but let's stop coming up with new old things to be offended by. That kind of thing makes you sort of full of shit...and you need no additional help with that.
When I say 'they' I'm talking about 'woke' and cancel culture leftists, not the 'they' you'd like to presume.

Again...you are doing what I asked you not to do. I do not want a statue of people that fought for slavery. Volunteered to put their lives on the line? FK them and the horse they rode in on. I don't give a shit. They are racist assholes and put thier lives on the line to enslave people....so they were racist assholes. Easy to follow. I am saying this from my computer because people literally died to give me the right to. Umm....THE WINNERS to be accurate....lol. So, out of respect for THEM i AM GOING TO HONOR THEM....not a bunch of losers that fought to keep people slaves.
