But these are statues of army generals and individuals that were important to writing our history. Songoku I’m Not Weird I’m A Limited Edition Shirt I think as a good parent you should be openly ready to talk to your kids about things like that especially if they walk up to a statue and ask who it is. I think that’s just a good opportunity to talk to your children and make them aware of the world. It’s not erasing history tho, if you look at the text books he’ll still be there, It’s the fact that he didn’t do the country much good, fought for slavery and fought against his country. You never see statues of the villains do you?

It’s just that when the statue was put up, people still held ignorant and racist views. It would be never be put up today. It’s been taken down because just imagine being a black person walking down the street seeing a statue of a man who wanted to keep you enslaved and didn’t want you to have the freedoms you enjoy today. Not a great way to make someone feel welcome or safe…  Kayla Delmonte are you oppressed? Have you ever been? As a typical white girl have you ever been followed at the grocery store? Refused service in a restaurant?

Because I have and it wasn’t because I was doing anything except shopping and being hungry while black…so until you can relate dont go around telling people you know nothing about what they need to get over. Who the hell made you the peacekeeper on race relations? Continue to live life in your bubble. Yes it is part of American and World History! It is especially painful for African Americans to see the creators of American slavery, hatred, bigotry and sexual assault honored. Those men not only enslaved men, women and children.

They also tortured, raped, and murdered them. The ones who survived had to BUY back their GOD given freedom. In my opinion every statute commemorating/honoring a member of the Confederacy needs to be removed.  Dayna Mishel Smith lmao actually YES i’ve been followed in a store, yes I’ve been given dirty looks, hate to tell you but it happens to everybody who may look a little different I’m not your typical white girl sweetheart so until you get over the fact that people are going to look at you the way they feel like it and follow you if their little heart desires to this world will never be over anything!

And yes I realize that comparing this to Nazi Germany was way harsh I took that way out of context but the point is this shit happened a long ass time ago why the hell are black people trying to punish white people for something our forefathers did, get the hell out of here I’m damn sure not going to feel sorry for anything that happened more than 100 years ago!! I don’t think many people are talking about wiping history. Just taking these confederate symbols and moving them from public property, where they are glorified, and putting them in museums as a part of history.

Mimi A Jessica he was actually a horrible “owner”. Songoku I’m Not Weird I’m A Limited Edition Shirt Separated families. Whipped his slaves. Failed to honor the Custis and Lee wills that granted freedom to the family slaves until a Virginia court ordered him to do so. Lee was an asshole and a traitor. Period. Should have been executed. Ever read a history book? History class in school? Visit a museum? Yes we must know our history. But we can choose what parts of our history to celebrate. The Confederacy and the Civil War should not be celebrated.
