Regarding The Flap Over Confederate Statues

[Rev. Rye]

I really do not believe that the so-called aggrieved parties right now-- black people who claim to be deeply and mortally offended by the presence of confederate statues in those states which fought on the confederate side, for example, or even worse the SJWs who deign to speak on their behalf-- are really deeply harmed by the existence of those monuments, except if they make it a point to do so.

But your beliefs do not matter.  The city council of Charlottesville voted to remove those statues from city-owned parks.  The protests were being organized by racist motherfuckers from all over the country who wanted them retained.  You know the right-wing is quick to denounce "outside agitators" when they are black or brown but when they are white - wearing sheets - they think they are fighting for history.

Bullshit.

Also a good point. If the city itself doesn't want it, then removing the statue is for the best and in that case, there's no point in me trying to argue otherwise. I am legitimately surprised this point has been buried underneath all the rhetoric over the past month.
