It has been stated many, many times, "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it". For some reason people today who do not agree with history wish to erase it. The earliest example I saw was when my son was five years old, I took him to see the Disney movie, "Song of the South", which was re-released by Disney in 1980. It was the first movie that combined humans with animated characters. The film takes place in the reconstruction era after the Civil War, in Georgia. It is a period piece. It depicted life the way it was right after the war. I thought it was educational for my son to see how it was so he could appreciate the differences of how it was in the 1980s. We enjoyed it and I paid $125.00 later for a Japanese version on Laser Disk. It's the most expensive film I own. Anyway, some people complained the film was racist. I see it as a period peace that shows how far this country has progressed with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1968. You can't appreciate the strides made in this country in race relations unless you see how it was, and compare that against how it is. Anyway, because of the complaints, Disney has put the film in their vault never to be seen again. To understand history you have to be able to compare the past to the present. By eliminating all references to the past, like is now happening in the south, we are removing an important connection to the past, painful as that may be to some. I'm totally against the cleansing of Civil War history from the south. Look at it and understand it. Don't destroy and hide it. It's like the people who need "safe places" Things happen continually, deal with those things like adults. Don't hide from them.

You are absolutely right G man how do you compare today from yesterday if you have nothing to compare it to. These people are just a bunch of retarded crybabies. Their brains aren't big enough to handle truth. And it is the Liberals who can't figure it out that slavery was run by the Democrats. That's right it wasn't Donald Trump it wasn't George Bush. It was your typical run-of-the-mill Democrats. Maybe it's the Liberals that have to lie about their own history and rewrite it whay Hillary tried to do.
