White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

[Mr.wizard]

You still can't actually address the issue, I don't even know what you are arguing against and I'm not sure you know either.  Should a town have the right to have a Robert E Lee statue, or should all confederate history be banned from public property? If you think it should be banned then why is the Jefferson Memorial allowed to stand.

Should an asshole be allowed to convince investors to give him money to a clear scam? Well the difference between Madoff and 45 is that Madoff fucked over the rich. 45 with his fake university conned the middle class and poor. With slavery it is even worse because it isn't just about stealing money, it is about vile subjugation of a fellow human on top of making money off of your abuse of them.

I don't know how more bluntly I can put it, SLAVERY IS WRONG.........  I don't see how anyone can equate the Civil War to the Revolutionary War.

Now idiot, nobody is or should justify Jefferson owning slaves. But between the North and South the North started the end of slavery as imperfect as our system was back then. 

"Jefferson owned slaves" still does not excuse keeping symbols of the South.

You sound like an asshole who gets pulled over by a cop and say, " Bu bu bu officer, other people were speeding too and I was just moving with the flow of traffic.

Now what makes you think I advocate ignoring Jefferson owning slaves? I don't. I am saying that the North started the end of Slavery and the South wanted to keep it.

Now we are on to Financial crimes by Bernie Madoff and traffic violations. I am well aware slavery is wrong and that the south wanted slavery, I also think Jefferson was wrong in owning slaves but none of those things is relevant to the point I raised. I also didn't say anything about you advocating for Jefferson owning slaves.
