Leftists Purging History or Al Queda in America

[rexbeccarox]

There is that typical theist narcissism once again. Nobody gives a fuck that it doesn't bother you personally. We are still talking about the defense of a horrible institution, that of slavery, and that should bother any empathetic thinking human being. The fact that you say it doesn't bother you says more about you than it does to those who rightfully object to making heros out of slave owners. Those statues were not mere history lessons, they were put up to honor those who fought to keep slavery. THAT is the part you keep missing.

See this is what I mean.... rather than making your case, and letting that stand for what it's worth.   You start out by focusing on the person, and name calling.  Then you try to make out like I'm defending slavery (which couldn't be further from the truth).  As I said, I'm open to hearing from both sides.  And if the only reason for, is to honor those who fought to keep slavery, then I think that is a fast sinking ship.  But as I mentioned, if it is only about slavery and oppression of black people, then I think these where poor choices.  But this type of crap that you are trying to pull here only weakens the point you are trying to make, it doesn't aid it.

(bold mine)

The bold was the point. The fact that you only see it as "focusing on the person, and name-calling" could definitely be described as a sub-point, though.
