Is it wrong to remove Confederate statues?

@TexChik No one is revising anything. These statues were put up WELL after the Civil war during Jim Crow.

@Pherick horseshit ... now the tards are after George Washington because he was a slave owner ? And then the tards will say the constitution is invalid because it was created by slave owners ...

@TexChik So you don't believe the fact that these statues were not put up until WELL after the Civil War?

Yes, some of the founding fathers were slave owners. Its a disgusting part of our history. They however were not traitors.

@Pherick WHEN the statues were put up is irrelevant

@TexChik Really? Putting up a statue that glorifies a traitor and a pro-slavery general during an era when blacks were fighting to get human rights seems pretty damn relevant to me.

@Pherick it wasn't against st the law , still isn't against the law . Democrats being traitors is really nothing new

@TexChik What does being against the law have to do with anything? I would tell you about how the "Democrats" you are referring to during that time period are the Republicans of today, the parties have switched, but I doubt you would understand me anyway.

@Pherick nope ... more revisionist history . The only way libs can cover up their misdeeds in history is to blame them on someone else ... that won't fly . The only difference now is libs use money and promises to enslave black Americans

@TexChik HAHAHA Of course ... you are such a looney :)

@Pherick truth always busts a libtards balls ... enjoy

@TexChik Like this truth?

@TexChik Miss, with respect, I teach history and he's correct. The platforms for the political parties was quite different a century and a half ago.

@SW-User funny how southern democrats , like Storm Thurman ... with a family history of slave ownership and was a grand dragon in the KKK while simultaneously serving as a sitting US senator are suddenly forgotten or now you libs say " oh they would be republicans now". Still a Crock of BS ... the Clintons reviled Thurman and credit him as being their mentor . Are the Clintons suddenly republicans now too?

@TexChik well, if you check historical sources you'll find out that Hillary Clinton was a registered Republican back in her 20s.

@SW-User at the time she was going after Nixon in the watergate investigation ... ?

@TexChik He was a southern Democrat whose party was becoming more progressive and supported the Civil Rights Act. He didn't, he supported Barry Goldwater, so he became a Republican.

They reviled him and credited him as a mentor? How does that work?

@Pherick strom Thurman was never a republican

@TexChik Uh-oh, someone doesn't know their history ...

[quote]Thurmond represented South Carolina in the United States Senate from 1954 until 2003, at first as a Democrat and, after 1964, as a Republican.

A magnet for controversy during his nearly half-century Senate career, Thurmond switched parties because of his disaffection with the liberalism of the national party, and his support for the conservatism of the Republican presidential candidate Senator Barry Goldwater[/quote]

@TexChik Only from 1964 - 2003

@SW-User Just that short period, easy to overlook. Hell he was a Republican 3x longer than he was a Democrat ;)

🤣

@Pherick yep tried to edit but it wouldn't ... was a lib till 2006? Became a rino after that

@Pherick Texchik has a very casual relationship with facts

@TexChik till 2006? He wasn't in the Senate then? Its easy.

1954 - 1964 Democrat
1964 - 2003 Republican
