Huck Loc: The Midwest

Don’t offend me by being offended!
What right does anyone have the to desecrate or destroy historical monuments simply because they are offended. What right or law guaranteed them the right not to be offended? As has been said here by another they are offended by a******n clinics but does that give them the right to destroy them? No!

These great Americans whose statues attest to the greatness of this nation’s accomplishments and freedoms were born into a social structured system they did not create or could not escape from any more than the s***es themselves, but through their wisdom a system of ending s***ery the world over was created by their desire to create a government that would eventually provide equal freedom and opportunity for all men regardless of color. To destroy their monuments will not destroy their accomplishments that will forever be recorded in the annuals of history.

Yes, many of our great patriotic leaders of that time were s***e holders, but many expressed there abhorrence to s***ery and knew that in time it would have to go, but to judge them in contemporaneity is wrongheaded and thoughtless. I’m sure the first couple of generations of freed s***es would not agree nor would they have v**ed for those of today that want to destroy all memory of these great American patriots. They damn sure wouldn’t be v****g the Democrat ticket today after living several generations under the Democrat’s Jim Crow laws. There are too many government leaders today in both parties that need to be reeducated.

Huck wrote, "these great American patriots". Who are these "these great American patriots", Lee, Jackson, Davis, et al? What kind of perverted sense of patriot do you have? Was Benedict Arnold a "great American patriot"? As for destroying all memory of them, far from it, I want them well and properly know for the t*****rs that they were.

And as to some perverted concept of equivalence between master, henchman, and s***e, implied by them all being in the same "social structured system they did not create or could not escape from", it is a false equivalence. The master actively suborns the henchman into preventing the s***e's escape. Any other vision of their various states is delusional blindness.

acknowlodgeurma, Your thinking is a little too shallow, start thinking a little deeper. Yes they were all born into a social structured system they did not create nor could not escape from any easier than the s***es themselves. It’s so easy today to stand in judgment of those living in a time that we today cannot truly empathize with. We cannot relate our social evolvement into what we become today into what they had to live within in their day. Yes, Lee, Jackson and Davis were all historical figures that help create the greatest country man had ever known, but were they saints, No! However, maybe they even knew that s***ery would someday have to end and all have now faced that great Judgment Day in the sky for all their sins here on earth. They were not however the founding fathers that signed their life away on the Declaration of Independence Or the Constitution and these are also being the patriots whose pictures and statues must be destroyed simply because they were s***e holders. The attempts to change history by destroying the symbols of history have not changed history and never will and those that do are ignorant fools or catering to it for personal gain. Huck.

Perhaps my thinking is a little too shallow. But for some reason, I just don't seem to care to go much deeper into why Lee, Jackson and Davis were t*****rs to the United States of America.

Perhaps your thinking is not broad enough. Have you ever wondered who put up those statues and their reasons for putting them in public spaces?

As for Washington, Jefferson, et al, they are a different matter. They helped to found the United States of America, and for that deserve there honors in public spaces, despite other failings.
