Where do you draw the line? You didn't answer my question.
Btw, you thinking that all "Black guys" in the South all think alike this is more out of touch than anything I said. Like the fact it would be better to explain the Nazi death camps than to remove them...explain the horrible existence of ancient slave markets rather than gloss them over or attempt to erase history. None of this is racist, but an attempt to educate and explain the sins of man and not repeat them. Statues designed to keep others down should be turned around with inscriptions to show the shame of that practice...not simply removed by those breaking the law and defacing property...no more than the guys Vladimir Lenin statue should be removed by vandals breaking the law and defacing property.
You just keep repeating yourself. And, you add to your posts after I respond then complain I did not answer. I already answered your question earlier in the thread.
You don't understand the subject. These are not like the Nazi death camps. These statues were added by racists decades after the war. They are not historical relics, they are weapons of racism. NOBODY is talking about removing actual historical items from the time period. The fact that I have explained this to you multiple times yet you keep repeating shows that you do not care about the truth you just want to protect the racism.
And, where did I say "all" black men. I said a black man. And there are hundreds of interviews on the subject available if you cared outside yourself, which you continue to show that you don't.
And, enough with this "intellectual" BS. I am just another Oklahoma kid like nearly everyone else on the board. A position of "we should remove racists statues put up by racists" is not the least bit intellectual. It is just a weak attempt at insult as you are out of your depths.
I really hope that this is just message board bluster from you and like nearly everyone here you just don't like to give a point. Because, and this is true honesty, every word you write I this subject makes me lose respect for you. I absolutely cannot believe you feel this way. I hope it is because you haven't really looked at the history of these statues. Because, if you have and feel that way, you are not a person I can respect.
And that is all I have to say on this subject with you. I really hope you find your way.
