                  The monument protesters in Durham, NC toppled will likely be put back up. There is state law prohibiting the removal of them.

                    What about the Nazis?

                    We read the writings of Nazi generals and admirals, some who served in the new West German armed forces. They served an evil government, yet we didn't shoot/hang them all. Some were respected lecturers after the war in this country.

                    Our German scientists were better than Russia's German scientists and we got to the moon first.

                    We hate the Nazis but like the Germans? Why can't we decry the Rebellion and honor the participants?
                    IMHO, you are mistaking history, and the forgiveness of time to honoring people who were losers.

                    Some like to think the statues represent history. And in some aspects they do. But the history could probably be better shown in a simple marker, perhaps with some of the names of the dead.

                    Instead, the statues are there to make us think that the confederate generals were some kind of hero. They are not. They were just part of a losing battle.

                    I've seen Lee's efforts washed over here and on other boards- after the war he was some kind of gentleman, or that he was just fighting for Virginia, bla bla bla.

                    Which is to suggest that he fought for the wrong side in the war, as he was against slavery.

                    It would be interesting to ask the thousands of dead confederate soldiers he commanded into death about that line of thinking. Or the thousands of Union soldiers that died due to his command the same thing.

                    The man was a key part in 300,000 people killed in the Civil war. Had he fought for the north, perhaps less would have died, and the separation between the north and south would not be nearly has harsh, as the war would have ended a lot sooner.

                    But he didn't. He fought for the side that every single goal pointed to keeping slavery to make people rich. Killed a lot of people. And lost. How does that make him a hero or a gentleman?

                        That's what I think too. Most of these neo-Nazi dorks probably have no clue who the fuk Robert E Lee is. Its all about representing white power and nothing else. If you told them Lee urged reconciliation and applied to get his citizenship to the United States back after the war, they wouldn't know what you're talking about because they have no interest in historical facts.

                          Believe the actual law is that the senate(or a senate committee) has to sign off before one is removed. The law was just passed in the last couple of years. I read yesterday that the police are planning to charge everyone involved with some sort of felony.

                            The problem isnt that Lee hated Black people...it is that he committed treason against the United States in the name of his racism. You ever been to Arlington Cemetery? If not go there and go to his house and read about it sometime. This myth he was a moral man who hated slavery and only fought for the South because of Virginia is a crock.
                            Why is this so difficult for people to understand? ^^^^^

                            Our teaching of history in this country is a failure. And utter and despicable failure.

                            Good for Baltimore. Shame on anyone who leaves one of these ****ing statues up.

                            North Carolina proves again that they're lost. Lost.

                              I am not sure what is more disturbing...that they think a Black man defaced the statue or just the fact that they use act as a reason to spew some really horrid rhetoric.
