Leftists Purging History or Al Queda in America

And thank you for proving my point about your Manichean view of history, Brian.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

Rev Rye, quite a few people who installed those statues are quite alive. Many of the statues are less than 40 years old.
Ref: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017...tory-trump In short, your position on the statues is defective due to the fact that a majority of these statues were put up during contentious anti-Black, anti-Civil Rights events well past the end of the Civil War. How can you tell? The recent toppling of one statue took only a tug and it bent into a pretzel. Low quality bronze from statues produced at cheap, cheap prices from Northern factories to sell to Confederate sympathizes. Slave to the Patriarchy no more

Furthermore, respect doesn't mean you let the enemy keep terrorizing their victims. Nor does it mean "allow your enemy to build effective shrines to the leaders who waged violent war against you."
To carry on your advocacy to an individual level, it seems the closest equivalent is stating the local rapist should be allowed to threaten his victims after spending time in prison. After all, he did his time, right? Right? Seriously, please let me know where you stand on this. We have restraining orders for that kind of shit and we don't allow that. Neither should we allow praise of a definitively evil regime (Confederacy) on taxpayer property. They murdered Americans and sundered the nation out of fear that slavery would be abolished. No act of Congress at the time of the start of the Civil War had been passed to end Southern slavery. Slave to the Patriarchy no more

Perhaps we shouldn't venerate intellectual piracy and sexual immorality either. I don't see how Neo's quote indicates that he is a white supremacist. He's making a point about taking down any statue of historical significance. You may disagree with that, but this does not make him a white supremacist.

I figured she insinuated as much when she followed up with "now we know who you really are". Having the same opinion about historic statues as those supremacists did, does not make the person a supremacist themselves, or a sympathizer of white supremacy. But if that's not what she meant, then my apologies.

Sympathizers often couch their positions in obfuscation. Denied. Our boy there, not only finding himself consistently against minorities in any given issue as one of The Usual Suspects, responded to the -faintest- (and probably unintentional) implication that he might just be a racist dirtball, by lobbing off the MLK was a shitty person defense...of confederate statues. It's like we're playing racist bingo.......
So, if you had to guess....what kind of person consistently finds themselves saying things that racists say?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You may disagree with that, but this does not make him a white supremacist. It's about context. MLK was not campaigning for adultery. R.E. Lee was leading armies defending chatteldom; that was the notable achievement of his life. Not every context, and not every personage, is equally good. Germany has exactly zero statues of Hitler, but somehow they manage to remember their own history. How's that work? You want historical significance? Put these statues in a museum ... and provide context for those who are otherwise deaf to it. Why are conservatives so afraid of museums? |
