Can the right wing at least start by admitting that not all of the confederate statues are beautiful? Some of them are pedestrian at best.

I'm sort of with Trump on this in a way. Specifically I don't see a need to take them down. However I don't care if they are if that's how the people that live there feel.
Here's my stance... Let the actual city the statues are in decide what to do. Everyone else stfu. --- "its okay a lizard ate me and elucidated my fate" - MJ_Max on Dark Souls 3DSFC : 0860-3930-2170 | NNID : CapnMuffin | XBGT : Capn Muffin ... Copied to Clipboard!

i think a lot of people in the south dont see the statue as a symbol of racism, its more about their heritage of having a separate history/culture from people in the north, honoring their fallen people in the civil war, etc.
obviously racism and slavery is a HUGE component in this but IMO a lot of these guys kind of just block out that part, now whether or not it's ingrained dog whistling or just willful ignorance is up for debate. ive met a bunch of people from the south and they definitely do feel very disconnected from life up in the northeast in a lot of ways. --- A Green Butter Alt(TM) http://i.imgur.com/LhwwG.gif ...

like, that literally was created this weekend by Hannity and it's annoying to hear him double-down on the whole "they're trying to destroy history" narrative. this comment from the reddit thread said it well, I think The thing is, he doesnt give two shits about the statues.
