Next thing you know, they're going to want to tear up the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution because they were written by white slave owners.
The US's sucky constitution obviously does need a replacement though. I suggest you guys copy Canada's new one, as that seems to be widely approved by experts and has been copied by several other countries around the world."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by Starlight View PostI think statues celebrating confederate figures should be moved out of public urban spaces and into museums. It is offensive to both blacks and American patriots to be publicly celebrating people who fought a war against America to maintain the practice of slavery. Having statues of such people in public urban spaces is inappropriate, and historical museums are the correct place for such statues where people can go to learn about the history.
The Stone Mountain is a case where nothing needs to be done IMO - it is already in an out-of-the-way location (people are not being forced to walk past it daily like they are with a monument in a public square) and is essentially a 'museum' already.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
