Well, my days of thinking that Old Fat Joffrey’s voters are all idiots are certainly coming to a middle.
It’s quite literally one of the most disheartening things about Trump’s presidency, to me. I just can’t see a light at the end of this tunnel of deliberate ignorance.
Nothing is over till we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??
Willful ignorance is spreading like our opioid epidemic.
with some passive aggressive racism about how Smith should have stopped and deserved it, because running from the police is apparently a capital offense.

Make it a weekend, throw in some Miracle Mile for good measure.
Yes, but are people who stayed able to find food or are they looting it?

Don’t you guys know that Germany completely forgot about Hitler after they tore down all the monuments to Mein Fuhrer?
The other thing about Germany not having a bunch of Nazi statues is, uh, THE NAZIS WEREN’T TRAITORS TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY. The Germans resisted the temptation towards nationalism because of the atrocities committed by their countrymen fighting FOR their country. We don’t even have that. Not only can we not be bothered…
Look at when those statues were erected. The height of resurgent racism, “Jim Crow”, the KKK. That’s what they’re celebrating. That’s why they have to go.
Holy shit, the confederacy rebelled against our nation because they wanted to continue to own people. Their statues are monuments to men who were so dedicated to the right to own people that they rebelled against their government*. That’s not a heritage to celebrate.
Is it a hot take to say that erecting statues and memorials that suggest the Confederate cause was about a vague “southern way of life” and a philosophical difference over state’s rights do more to “erase history” than taking them down ever would?
These statues weren’t even erected right after the war.
That’s their equivalence. A 2000 year old monument of the past vs a mass produced hundred dollar brass statue.
ISIS is destroying monuments that are thousands of years old, that have stood up until this day just fine, many which had zero to do with slavery, hatred, or racism. Saying that tearing down a statue of some confederate racist is the same as destroying a 2000 year old temple is the very definition of ignorance.
