Ponderable

When are "we" going to tear these statues down? I would assume when the communities that put them up decide to take them down.
I only point it out, because sorta like with the Confederate statues getting melted down all over the South... that's local politics so there is no "we".

As for you real point- I know Alt-Right leaders hope to fund raise on this issue, but it doesn't really run much deeper then a lot of folks in the South are ready to cut ties with the Confederacy. And their local politicians are quick to respond. That's my read on it.

This is about political correctness and hypocrisy.
I would assume the communities that put them up will only take them down when PC Antifa types protest in the streets & those communities buckle under the pressure.
Part of the argument for removing civil war statues are they glorified those that owned & fought for slavery...
PC calls for removal of any monument to those that are now considered historically wrong by the pc left.
Those that kept slaves , those that fought for the south and certainly those that committed genocide against Native Americans should not have monuments.
Otherwise it seems hypocritical, that's my read on it.

Im not in favor of tearing down statues or monuments, especially those with a historical or cultural reference.


Its what the Taliban does.

Should the pyramids in Mexico be torn down because slaves were routinely sacrificed on them?

How do you know what "PC calls for"? And what does that mean anyway?

The biggest (and I do mean biggest) controversial statue still standing and under discussion is the KKK-funded Stone Mountain confederate memorial in Georgia. After the memorial was completed, the mountain was acquired by the State of Georgia and made into a state park.

The point is these are not TRUE PATRIOTIC AMERICANS, they’ve had over 150 years to assimilate and they still haven’t! We have ancestry.com, let’s find out where they came from and have DT negotiate their return.

Contrast this with Mexican-Americans who become border patrol agents and “speak perfect English.”

You dont think the descendants of the confederacy have assimilated?
They are unpatriotic?
I have ancestors from both sides of the civil war, as well as African and American Indian.
Have I assimilated?
All Americans should be able to be able to speak English eventually.
Its the language we speak here.
Im not sure where you are going with this.

Nice pictures. Not much facts.

Where are those statues located? Who paid (or is paying) to put them up? Who is paying for their current upkeep?

There are private as well as state, and national monuments to American Indians who fought against your beloved union.
"Traitors" I think is what you said.
tenacious called them "losers".

I call it all part of our American history.
Leave the monuments of our history intact.
Care for them and preserve them with respect.
