And let’s just ask what that monument represents and whom Traitors that killed American soldiers to maintain the enslavement of human beings It makes the confederate soldiers look like heroes & it also has incredibly degrading depictions of contentedly enslaved Black people It’s an abomination
And totally on brand for a guy who prefers his women roofied and deprived of a vote.
perfectly said
As a descendant of two Confederate soldiers (both sides of the family), I agree with @diedrichbader.bsky.social
But we eliminate Harvey Milk, Enola Gay, most women in history, and that’s okay. Such a punchable face.
Pete: "We are proud of our history of being a bunch of racist assholes who got their asses kicked when we turned traitor against our own country." Gee, that sounds kind of bad when you think about it.
We tore it down once before and we’ll do it again
And when they were put up. It was a long time after the war, when civil rights were being fought for, that many of them appeared.
It represents the worst possible people.
If they think that statue won’t be removed again, they’re sorely mistaken. It’s coming down and I hope it’s destroyed for good.
No one should be “proud” of that history. Disgraceful.
