Russia is and was famous for rewriting and rearranging history, with leaders changing the names of cities such as swapping Leningrad for St. Petersburg, and removing former government leaders who lost favor from historical photos. History is always a bit messy as trends change and what was once acceptable becomes unacceptable over time. It is arrogant and idiotic, however, to judge past events by current standards, because history is all about context. Inevitably, those seeking to condemn past actions or standards have an agenda, and they want to overlay guilt by association on those who would suggest that history simply is and should be respected and left to stand on its own, within its own contextual framework.
This is clearly being shown in the nonsensical demand by race baiters and liberal firebrands that the confederate flag be excised from history and removed from public exhibit in any shape or form. The narrow minded and bigoted protesters would have us believe that the stars and bars represent only one thing, and that is the history of slavery. That is ignorant beyond belief, and it shows how misguided the protesters are when considering southern history and culture. Unfortunately, Democrat politicians are determined to pander to this overblown expression of concern, and so the rich history of the south is denigrated and dismissed as the flag is hidden away in closets and drawers, out of sight from the public eye.
Confederate flag hidden from view and history rewritten, page 2:
We just really need to wipe D.C. from the map and give our states back their rights. If a state wants their flag a certain way and the people in that state agree, then shut the hell up and get over it!
That is an incredibly ignorant statement on a couple of levels.
Damn liberal bastards.
So we rewrite history not to offend anyone?
People like you hate blacks blonde
Heritage terrorism at work!
How long is the tantrum of black people going to last? If they had not been slaves they would now be living in abject poverty in Africa. They can go there anytime that suits them. They undoubtedly had a terrible experience but we do not own them nor do we owe them. We are not the ones who did the dirty deeds and instead of whining about this they should embrace their heritage in the creation of this great country. Their ancestors helped build America and without their efforts we wouldn’t have been This strong. So quit tearing down our monuments to our past.
Totally wrong! You can thank obama and the liberals
That’s what they’re doing… Rewriting history the way they want it to be heard. I can’t stand it one bit, can’t wait for the revolution to begin
Like it or not it’s a part of history.. Should be flown…
