If the protests were peaceful and all koombaya and shit you wouldn't be entertaining the idea of them coming down let's be honest.
He’d say, “I don’t understand what they are protesting about.”

People forget all the peaceful requests that were met with threats of violence:
It was during the Virginia Festival of the Book, a series of readings and events held every year in Albemarle County, which includes Charlottesville.
At a talk given by the author and historian Edward Ayers, a Charlottesville city councilor, Kristin Szakos, asked about the city’s Confederate monuments. She wondered whether the city should discuss removing them.
People around her gasped. “You would have thought I had asked if it was O.K. to torture puppies,” she recalled during a 2013 conversation on BackStory, a podcast supported by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.
The response to her comment was heated, and swift. Ms. Szakos said she received threats via phone and email. “I felt like I had put a stick in the ground, and kind of ugly stuff bubbled up from it,” she said.
He’d say, “I don’t understand what they are protesting about.”
Cons confuse politeness with weakness. Same shit with police violence, now they're willing to "discuss the issue" after millions in damage.
You wanted statues to come down. They are coming down.I'm just waiting for one of the idiots to say it is a conspiracy sculpture makers to profit from replacing statues with new comissioned works.
A few own goals of course.. The right's leaders left their retarded gimps off the leash a couple of decades back and fiddled as the cultural debasement started. Now the left's brains have just said fuck it and the odd Grant statue takes a tumble.
You wanted statues to come down. They are coming down.
As I said, there will be no differentiation between white historical figures. If its a statue of a white guy its coming down. You can keep up the pretense but its clear what is actually happening and its hilarious.
See what you have wrought? Do you really think you have control of it?
How is the Cultural Purge working out for you so far?Dramatic much? Such a little girl (bad phrase there are little girls a lot tougher than you).
My point was who started with letting the actually stupid off the leash? Who let the fundamentalists and the conspiratards run amok? The smarter republicans thats who, they 'weaponized' ignorance. Hows that working for you now the left have thrown their hands up?
But a Grant statue here or there is not the end of the world. The sky is not actually falling.
The respected left are not all in just a handful of media outlets. It takes more time for their slow down there to be heard.
How is the Cultural Purge working out for you so far?
You can see what is happening. Historic figures lacking certain melanocyte content are to be purged. You have no control over it. You are a lame spectator sniping from outside the country.
Eventually they will run out of statues and plaques. Other cultural symbols will then become the focus.
Yep, a lot of stuff was erected during the depression. I know about the WPA but I think the art and cultural stuff was a separate program.Did you know that most of the plaques were put up as part of a make work program for poets, artists and other intellectuals during the depression? Most do I guess.
