Any HROTERS going to “Unite The Right” Rally in Virgina?
- Thread starter THE_DEVIL
- Start date
Why? Last night I watched 2 hours on the History of Nazi Germany. It was a reminder of just how nasty Hitler was. I think it is important to see that so it isn't repeated.
I live in the south. I have several southern aquantences that don't call it the civil war . They refer to it as the war of northern aggression. The hate and racism is still very strong here.
Could say the same for anyone under the age of 50. People need to quit the victim mentality bs and just live your life.
You would make a fine torry

Confederate
Nazi
Putin sympathizer

Lol. That's why you aren't going? Not because you're not a white supremacist? But because you think it might be government funded? Not pure enough for you.
Looks like some people were killed by the white nationalist who plowed into the crowd at high speed
I actually used to think the same way. I'm a bit of a Civil War buff and I couldn't understand why commemorating people who fought was such a big deal. Then, watching battlefield after battlefield being removed for strip malls or housing projects, I realized that people don't actually love history, at least that's not why they want to protect statues of Confederates.
We could remember that Lee was President of Washington and Lee College after the War. Or we could remember that Longstreet was an United States Ambassador after the war. But is that what we are remembering?
Who are those people protesting today? Do we really think they care about anything but celebrating slavery? We don't need statues of Hitler to remember WW2. And we don't need statues of Confederates in uniform to remember slavery.
Why is he in uniform in a place called Emancipation Park?
If that is true than whoever was driving and any groups they are affiliated with should be being investigated for terrorism this second.
I'm hungover as eff and about to head to Popeyes boyz.
At the very least, Trump will pay for his defense lawyers.

If you make it a big deal, it becomes a big deal. Just because a lot don't like history doesn't mean it isn't relevant.
You have a group of people in the minority who were marching. You let them March and they go away.
And the statue remains? History is for books and places. Statues are for commemoration. Commemorating a person who fought to keep slavery is wrong. Think about the times we lived in when these statues were erected. Things changed in the 1960's...would you put one up now? They've become the very symbol of the fools still fighting against Civil Rights.
I doubt that even most of the persons those statues were meant for would approve of them today. (Of course Nathan Bedford Forrest would....but he was an ahole.)
You can call it a cherry sundae for all I care. To the people that formed that group, it's a fact. They don't care what you call it and neither do I.
I couldn't believe it. He used the address to spin his Presidency like an effing infomercial. Just when I thought he couldn't get more pathetic. "Radical Conservative Terrorist". Why can't you say it, President Trump?
America is under attack by terrorists and Trump talks about unemployment numbers.
He gives nod and wink to racists by using phrase "cherish our history"
I was thinking about heading out to eat like Mclovin until I watched Trump but I lost my appetite. Congress needs to remove him from office. That would raise their approval rating by 40 points.
I don't think Geico is going to cover that....
^To think, some people say that Trump supporters are no-class trash. Shocker.
