Methinks me must agree with the losers on this: tearing down Confederate monuments is not the right\/smart move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about Stone Mountain? Gonna blast the face of that rock? Might as well do Mount Rushmore, too. The crimes against humanity are basically kinda sorta the same. {Matthew 16:26<\/em>}<\/p>\n\n\n\n This country refuses to reckon the fact of its history, and would rather just ignore or disregard or forget how, exactly, we (the collective US we) actually got here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back in the dim dark days of, what, a decade ago? Some woke folks started thinking, Hey, maybe we shouldn\u2019t have statues and memorials commemorating the losers club, yathink? Maybe that stuff should go away.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not We should educate successive generations on the truth of American history.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not We should possibly engage in a national discussion of past crimes and ongoing harms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not We should reconsider who and what and where and how we, as a nation, got here and seem to remain in the same place, based on <\/em>complexion<\/strong> and <\/em>texture<\/strong>, for the last, oh say, 400+ years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n No, not that.

Why not just keep bussing to the blue states? After all, methinks California will give illegal (whoops \u2013 \u201cnon-legal\u201d) residents the right to vote and drive, so dropping \u2018em off in democratically-controlled states can\u2019t do anything but help the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
