Thing is, it's not just the "charlottesville types" who object to this, and who object with exactly the same arguments. The organization most notably responsible for the majority of these statues, by the by...has been quietly facilitating their relocation for some time (daughters of the confed).
In a nutshell, this is the trouble that the kerfuffle over the statues have made to obvious to ignore. People who aren't wearing hoods......are saying the same shit, about the same things, as people who are.
How did that happen, I wonder? At what point did racism become "just another opinion"...and at what point did an absolute and uncompromising stand against racism become contemptible violence to ideas, in at least some segment of the non-hooded public opinion?
