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:
Libs hate facts
I didn’t realize ISIS is now here to destroy our history…good or bad….it is still our history. These assholes should be ashamed of themselves!
This is what muslims do. Destroy any history not relevant to islam or their ’cause’.
It’s not even about race or racism, it’s about distracting ignorant people while they rape our constitution.
In reality, niggers are the most racist, blaming their inability to get along with other races on white people, despite the real reason being their lack of development and horrible behavior. They used to work for nothing, now they do nothing and complain. They’re lucky they even exist. Their ancestors could just as easily have been executed. So, you’re welcome. Dumb niggers.
Just because racist support a candidate doesn’t mean the candidate is a racist, you must remember who started these groups,
Shoot these bastards
This is so wrong!!!!!
How are the people doing this any different than the terrorist destroying history in the Middle East?
No, school taught me the south was racist & believed in the racism & KKK!!! It’s true!!!
