When you are offended by a statue that tributes someone who made a living from or participated in a societal tragedy you should speak up. You will be the guy who helps decides then.
You mean the far right. I'm right of center but don't want to be lumped in with them. I don't lump all of the left in with the far left. People close to the center on both sides are closer together than the extreme on either end. You're right though, the Harriet Tubman= Robert E Lee made me lol.
What's more ironic is the statues being racist under Trump but not any other president. Explain that please. If they are so offensive why was this not addressed under Obama? That answer is quite obvious.
You're right, most do seem to be on either end nowadays. I don't think most people on either side even knew most of these statues existed. Now it's tooth and nail to protect or destroy them. Welcome to the bandwagon, here grab my hand I'll pull you aboard. There's a confederate memorial that I drive by on my way home from work. I didn't even know it existed until they put plywood around it the other day!
White entertainment television is HGTV. I'd be disappointed if I clicked on WET and it wasn't porn.
That's exactly the point. The statues have stood and nobody paid them any attention. You are correct that most people don't know what or who they are. This is a political move on behalf of the left to create division and push their agenda. The people on the left screaming for removal are ignorant sheep being played and the clowns on the right thinking every statue needs to remain are no better. There is good points for some statues to remain and there are good points for some to be removed. In these times there is no longer rational discussion on any matter, especially when the media wants to push a certain narrative.
but a few decades later it will offend people and before ya know it, it'll be toppled over fast as hell.

Nah, my wife watches that and she's half Asian. Movies with Harry Hamlin saving the local rodeo.
This is why I was NEVER a fan of monuments. Waste of money. If someone's really wants to spend money, they can give it to me.
Statues might mean something at he time they are erected
Slavery still goes on. It's a normal thing is a lot of countries. Is there anything wrong with slavery? If someone doesn't have the balls to stand up for themselves, then they deserve to get walked all over. I would die trying to rip the throat out of the person trying to enslave me rather than live as a slave.
The only thing wrong with slavery in America is that it was exclusively black people who were slaves because they were somehow "inferior". No one gives a shit about all the slaves in the Middle East though.
The fact is, no one here today had to deal with the civil war. No one. So no one should fucking complain about it.
It's a shitty part of American history, but it was the norm back then. I would like to think that if I was born in that era I would disagree with it, but I'm starting to realize I probably wouldn't, and I highly doubt any white man on this thread would take a stand too. It was the norm. Just like how premarital sex is now pretty much the norm for society, but a few decades ago it was going to cause the devil to spawn and ass rape you.
Everyone needs to take a fucking chill pill. I don't like skater punk kids with Etnies, long hair, and baggy pants. Despise them. You know what I do? I DONT GO TO ANY FUXKING SKATE PARKS. I don't like weed. You know what I do? DONT HANG OUT WITH POT HEADS.
I like working out, amongst other things, so I go to places with things similar to
My interests.
If people want to make a change, don't sling
Mud at the opposing group. Focus on yourself, and build yourself in a light that the public will look respectfully upon. Only reason I don't like BLM is because every time I've seen them, they've been destroying shit or stopping my fucking car when I'm trying to take my wife and son to a fucking park. (I used to live in ATL).
I live in a shit hole state and there was an event that made native Americans look horrible. Well... go to their reservations around here and it looks like fucking Peshawar. Burnt cars on the sides of the roads, condemned broken down houses, dogs and kids running wild. It's a shit hole. Those are the people that caused the trash and riots. I have a handful of very good native friends that are chiefs, and they were respectful as fuck. Attended meetings with the company reps and did their part without out violence. But how many people know that? No one saw Red Tomahawk or Iron Eyes on TV dresses in very nice suits sitting and speaking with reps.
I'm so tired of people bitching about things. This is why I think there should be two categories of American people. Civilians and citizens. Civilians can live here and work, but can not vote or participate in any politics. Citizens have earned the privilege to vote and make a voice for the country.
You want to earn your citizenship? Join the military. You'll grow an appreciation for America, all its flaws and perfections... and fresh socks.
