You could easily scratch out "left" and type "right" and lose nothing in the way of effectiveness or coherence.

True.. however the Right throwing a tantrum over their loss of slaves .. represented by their disgusting pro-slavery monuments.. is orders of magnitude more snowflakey ..

It may have been able to serve a purpose in some kind of museum display, but once it was down, I really can't bring myself to care how/whether it is destroyed.

It will literally never be enough.
I know that much for sure.
There’s too much money and political currency in finding the next offensive atrocity to fundraise around and manufacture outrage with.

First it was just Confederate statues. Then it was statues of slave owners like Jefferson and Washington. Then it was statues of Lincoln and Roosevelt.
First it was just taking down the statues to put them in museums. Then it was melting them down.
If I were in a personal relationship with someone who habitually did this "first it was just that, now it's this" thing, I'd consider it abuse and kick them out.

And we are treated to such right wing tantrums here on LNF on a daily basis.

article is enlightening. swords into plowshares - good analogy. Hate into healing.
I think the plinth should be left where it is. Encourage graffitti artists to do as they please with it. Some of them are very good. Let other artists display their work on top of it for a specified period. There would be a board of representatives that includes Klansmen and Black Panthers and all in between to screen applications. Emergency medical technicians would attend each board meeting, and ambulances would be idling in the parking lot.
I sincerely believe this idea would get off at Westport if it were put on the train.

Can't wait for the LNF conservatives to start melting down over this.

You and other ass holes. It is part of the history of this country. Let’s forget that the south was Americans more than some that post here, and they made a mistake allowing slavery. But if you are taught the truth about that civil war, no it was not all about slavery. What are we going to do when California wants to become their own country? If you erase history, it might repeat itself. Right now the whole country is being treated by a political party the same way the south was being treated before the civil war. |

I'm ready and wiling to forget all about slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow laws, racism, and the whole thing. I just wish everyone was like me and was living for the future instead of being stuck in the past. I'm happy to see this African American museum is ready to forget the past and let bygones be bygones. |
