Breitbart has published a two-sided debate regarding the dismantling of Confederate monuments across the South, and columnist Jarrett Stepman is arguing that the monuments should be protected, not destroyed.
The issue is a sensitive one for many in the south. While current supporters for the Confederacy have largely clung to the idea because of family lineage or southern pride, many have tried to hijack symbols of the Confederacy for purposes of racism and violence.
Those people have largely won, as Confederate symbols across America have fallen in a stunningly quick fashion.
But now that time has passed from the shooting in Charleston, many are looking back at what may have been an altogether too-quick knee-jerk reaction by the country and the south, and wondering if the erasure of the Confederacy from our history was wise.
Stepman argues that America doesn’t need to fundamentally change and transform our history, but rather transform out future. Read his thoughts on the next page:
Please Americans, don’t let this happen! It’s the Democrat party that should be taken out, not our historical monuments! They are a disgrace!
All this racist bull started and was fed by Obama and we should end it and learn from this very costly and dark mistake of electing a Black Moslem Democret (a lethal political venom) in the USA . Obama made sure that racisism ignited across the USA dividing us al as a well trained communist is doctrine to do. Companies like Boing, Intel, Microsoft , are among the few that lost billions of dollars trying to expand and create 10s of thousands of jobs and were prohibited from achieving the lifesaving move directly from the OBama / Clinton administration.
Washingtons own Bonnie & Clyde.
PCPURGERS attack what they do not understand. First, it was the Founding Fathers. Second, the American Civil War, Next will be how$#%&!@*Germany treated people. We are becoming 1984 and some other SIFI movies. Soon you will not be allowed to think anything.
I’m thinking history is about to repeat itself “states against the federal government ” the federal government does not represent the majority of Americans any longer , and if it happens we need to hang those sonofbitches who started this down hill slide of our great nation in Washington!
Bingo !!
Needs to be stopped immediately.
Democratic Party is the true party of slavery and racism.
How about the$#%&!@*collage fund and the black entertainment network? BET…
Civil war monuments and parks for the North as well as the South are a tourist attraction for many and help understand the past and should be preserved. Perhaps we can learn from the past and hope we don’t make similar mistakes.
