If we were to demolish statues of Robert Lee but not statues of Christopher Columbus
what kind of message would that send to Native Americans?

30. The message to get sledgehammers? I say smash them alll! Smash all statues of racists!!!
We can blow them all up for all I care, every statue. George Washington? He had slaves, SMASH HIM! Jefferson? Same thing, SMASH HIM!! We can stop forcing young colored children to look up to our racist founders with doe eye innocence; I hated history class because our history is written for white people to feel good about all the terrible genocides and thefts and enslaving and murder and racism done in their name, done to give them a position of prominence. Smash the statues and start telling the truth.
Spoken like a true rioter.

40. What about homophobic views?
Or misogynistic views?
You realize we'd end up smashing nearly every statue of a person from before 100 and very nearly 50 years ago right?
Or is it only race that deserves this historical judgment.
You may not value history or apparently even art, but many people do. It requires you to put people into their social context. I'm sure in 100 years from now your children's-children will damn you for doing some kind of intolerable thing like eating meat after we as a society evolve past it. I wonder if you'd be holding a sledgehammer to your own statue then.
You got the fags feeling left out. :(

43. No. You think I have to see the world on your terms.
I do not see the world through your lens, it is your job to state your positions and opinions and it is my job to state mine.
That is how I feel personally on a viceral level about the idea of honoring slave holders and rapists and holding them up to my daughters (who would have been prime stock as slaves) as their 'founding fathers' without bothering to tell the truth about slavery and their disgusting deeds. If you feel like writing a disseration on your subject of choice, be my guest. It is not my job to do what you feel like I should do in order to prove to YOU that I have intellectual courage. I am not amused with your bullshit.
Selfish ,miserable scrunt.

33. Or of any of the Indian fighters immortalized in the west
for that matter, along with renaming Mt. Taylor Turquoise Mountain the way it was in a couple of different native languages and even teaching the whole story in our schools.
I remember touring the Kit Carson House the first time I came out here and I was struck by how primitive it was compared to the way people back home in New England were able to live in the 1880s and opined "no wonder he was such a bastard."
The Indians looked really shocked and then giggled. The docent just looked shocked. Yeah, my big mouth is always getting me into trouble. That day, it got me invited to a feast the following weekend, one I couldn't attend because I was just passing through.
Still, this country began with genocide, much of it passive through diseases the Europeans had no clue how to control, and then warfare, followed by indentured servitude and slavery.
We'll be all grown up when we acknowledge this. We'll also be unique in the world if we do.

39. Doing the Chinese Cultural Revolution in the USA, a nation with no culture (almost)
Well, Nye, you know as well as I do that once these things get going, they take on a momentum of their own. The smashing of violins will begin independently of the illogic of the message, i.e. parity between atrocities done to Indigenous Americans vs African Americans. But I hear you.
The Chinese had over one thousand years of culture to purge. In the USA, we have just over 300 years. It won't take long.
(http://snag.gy/Mp6Tm.jpg)
Cultural Revolution
The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966 until 1976. Set into motion by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to preserve 'true' Communist ideology in the country by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Maoist thought as the dominant ideology within the Party. The Revolution marked the return of Mao Zedong to a position of power after the Great Leap Forward. The movement paralyzed China politically and significantly affected the country economically and socially.
- Historical relics
-snip-
China's historical sites, artifacts and archives suffered devastating damage as they were thought to be at the root of "old ways of thinking". Many artifacts were seized from private homes and museums and often destroyed on the spot. There are no records of exactly how much was destroyed. Western observers suggest that much of China's thousands of years of history was in effect destroyed or, later, smuggled abroad for sale, during the short ten years of the Cultural Revolution.

Well we all knew this stuff was coming. It's all but said and done with the flag situation so now they'll push on to something else. I don't like where this slippery slope is heading.

And the democratic party takes another clear and demonstrable step in the totalitarian direction.

The next thing you will hear is they will call for the levelling of Mount Vernon and Monticello. I'm sick of this B.S. if these F#$ksticks don't like America, They... Can.... LEAVE!
We've put up with a lot from these oxygen-thieving b@stards. And I've reached my limit. As an american who loves my country and what it stands for, I'm done with capitulation to these whiny little worthless scrunts DESTROYING the nation that I call home.
To all these DUches, you can pound sand for all I care. You are NOT destroying anymore of my country for your Obamafuehrer. GFYS :bigbird:

55. An absolutely horrifying thread.
An American Taliban of the left?
Purge, smash, delete from history anyone not politically acceptable to the so-called sensibilities of a certain faction of the leftwing?
Dangerous stuff ... and a political trap to start demanding a liberal orthodoxy and punish offenders.
You expected different from your ilk?

There's a difference between the DUches and jihadists. A jihadist at least has the BALLS to stand for what they believe in. A DUche would cower in fear rather than actually do SOMETHING. Unless they have the numbers in their advantage, then they would be doing their version of 'kristallnacht'.

I'm beginning to think the solution is to let the Daesh into places like Detroit, Baltimore, San Fran, NYC, Philly, LA, DC, etc and give them free reign for about a year or two.
Then these libbie idiots can see what real repression is like. Then when they bitch we carpet bomb these places and start over.
We can call it creative destruction.
