No genius, try again...

What culture is represented in statues of confederate traitors?

The tearing down of other people's heritage is not acceptable in our society. As I said, if the public believes historical artifacts are offensive, there is a functioning legal framework in place to remove artifacts and maintain them. Destruction of culture is not a good thing. Labeling the Charles Linn statue confederate, labeling him a traitor, is one view of the man. He is a founder of a major southern city and historically significant. I'm not able to agree that tearing down his statue by a mob is positive for our society.
 
Damn, do I have to go get my original post that he replied to because you are that damn lazy?
Lol he clearly said we don’t do that in the US. Not that it has never happened ever.

I bet if you shit on your parents basement floor and your mom tells you “we don’t shit on the floor in this house” you’d tell her “I just did, you’re factually wrong”.
 
Mhm, and this is regressive behavior. We aren't starting a new country. I believe most people quite enjoy America. The mob does not have the authority to dictate what history stands or tumbles. I don't agree with it.
They aren't starting a new country. And I don't like that innocent people are being hurt and their property destroyed. But this is a long time coming.

Years of systematic abuse and mistreatment by the government and the police, loss of jobs and opportunities, among other things.

We just watched as our Congress gave the wealthiest of the wealthy almost 5 trillion in stimulus packages. We watched as the Fed artificially inflated the market by trillions. The Fed chairman essentially said that he could just print as much money as he sees fit but it always ends up in the pockets of the wealthiest.

Billionaires became 434 billion dollars richer while there are food lines in Cali (the state with the 5th largest GDP in the world). 40 million out of work.

Then we see a man seemingly killed by an indifferent and apathetic police as he and bystanders begged for his life. He called out for his mom as he breathed his last breath.

People are justifiably fucking pissed.
 
Possible undercover police officer breaking windows in Minneapolis. - Agent provocateur or perhaps just garden day variety "militia" type white guy. Perhaps splinter-cell white nationalist? Professional agitator with either right wing or left wing extremists?



Im thinking Elvis..

I can understand this but I can't agree with anarchy and mob rule. I can't see how any of those grievances validate the destruction of historical artifacts by rioters.
