The House Votes to Remove Confederate Statues in the U.S. Capitol.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to remove all Confederate statues from public display in the U.S. Capitol, along with replacing the bust of former Chief Justice of the United States Roger Taney, author of the 1857 Dred Scott decision that declared that people of African descent were not U.S. citizens.

The House passed the measure 285-120. All Democratic members supported the legislation; all 'no' votes came from Republican members.

Let the Senate's "Confederate Caucus" (AKA the Republican Party) filibuster this!

@sunsporter1649 You're just mad because you want to keep throwing what happened a century and a half ago in our faces. If you want to be taken seriously, come up with some instances of racism from this decade, or at least this century.

@MarmeeMarch Don't forget Cheeto Benito calling majority-Black countries "shitholes." Talk about a welfare case.

@MarmeeMarch Well, there are a lot of Jews in NYC. But calling Jews "Hymies" is insulting, same as calling poor countries "shitholes."

Biden had very high support among Black voters, so maybe they know something you don't. You're not the spokesman for Black America, Adolf.
