This is even more obvious when you consider that many of them were erected, not after the civil war, but in response to various civil rights demonstrations throughout the early and mid 1900's as a blatent threat to African Americans and promise to stay committed to white supremacy.

Ironically, this new version of the statue is a more accurate representation of the historical Confederacy, at least before the end of Reconstruction.

My neighbor is a 91 year old Hungarian Holocaust survivor. Despite the absolute intentional horror that was inflicted on him and his murdered family, he is kind, funny, smart and will hold your hand with tenderness when he speaks to you. The next words out of his mouth were something along the lines of “it’s…

I’d like to see him have to tend it. Six towers, each 54 feet high - get the kid a box of rags, a ladder and some windex. He can get a close look at the 6 million tiny little numbers, each of which was an actual person who was murdered. Once a month for a year or two is a good start.

He should be forced to watch and write about documentaries of the Holocaust and other hate crimes, as well as do a considerable amount of community service in Jewish community centers and a Holocaust museum. Lastly, he should do at least one introduction presentation for the next person requiring this level of…

He and his parents should have to pay for the entire installation to be replaced - and issue an apology. What scum are among us.

I hope Pizza Rat sneaks in the penthouse and drops a pepperoni turd on his face while he sleeps.

I actually thought that seemed pretty reasonable for a 3-day conference. Granted, all the other conferences I’ve been to have been for work, but they’ve typically been $700-$1000 for three days. Also, for anyone 25 and younger the tickets are only $125.

Let’s value their work. Or is the convention center they’re using free? “Attendance fee is $295 per person—an amount necessary to help us cover the expense of holding a conference. In order to effectively harness the power of women from all backgrounds, the Women’s Convention must be accessible to women and allies…

Been in OKC for 20 years. We’re fucking outraged out here.

Fuck him! I would love for him to be dropped off in the center of Los Angeles and see how well that works out for him.

Call those Senate Republicans. Thank them for their courage and ask them to follow up their statements with actions. We have to take advantage of this opportunity to widen the breach between the GOP and Trump.

“We all salute the same great flag”

Unfuckingbelievable.

This man’s continued existence is proof that JFK was not killed by any government plot.

You vote for Jack Kemp or Bob Dole nobody is telling you this. Context matters.

This stood out to me as reported by CNN on the white supremacist who killed in Charlottesville.

“Im not a racist i just want to pay less taxes. So what if i have to elect a racist who will mostly lower the tax burden on the obscenely wealthy while taking away healthcare for the poor. That extra $5/mo i save in taxes is goddamn worth it”
