In b4 look at these violent leftists making us nazis. its not our fault wah!

Those white pride guys are rednecks. The Liberals who all imposing their version of the truth were able to give a good opportunity to say: “there, you see what we’re up against.” Right wingers should direct more intelligent people to stand in their own defense. These same Liberals recently made a lot of mess in Hamburg. They actually do not accept that someone has a different opinion of them.

Yep. And now white man even cannot appear in the parts of SA. Interesting at the same time there are Africans all over Europe.

you’re an odd fuck, Nerdy

Ok brah, im on a wind up 99% of the time but if you not fishing youre just a fucking idiot. There are a few places in south africa and zimbabwe white folk cant go because history is a flat circle and there are still a few places in the west a black guy probably shouldnt step into but most places in africa wouldnt give a shit about where youre from just like most places in the west. West africans are honestly the most happy go lucky people ever.

People really need to read ryszard kapuniscki. He was so so underrated and so relevant now. Anyway he observed that when the Portuguese were leaving Angola they drove themselves to hysteria that whatever they left behind would be stolen as retribution and yet after they left all their possesions were largely left untouched until their government claimed it to fight apartheid south africas aggression

Lol he is a bit strange. I think hed be class to party with or pop a bit of molly though

Belinda? Do you have a boyfriend (girlfriend)? It seems it’s something wrong with you.

lolz

you dint realize it when he/she came back with a he/she handle?

Yes, I’m very tempted to find out who Cooler and Belinda were in their previous AF lives. But, what’s the fun in that? Might as well sit back and enjoy while they last.

Back on-topic (somewhat), I’m uncomfortable with the removal of statues and glossing over history. I’m certainly not a confederate sympathizer, but trying to erase what they did by removing them from public view isn’t the right way to move forward. Leave their statues up and use it as an educational experience.

And I do put a fair amount of the blame for what happened in Charlottesville on the anti-protesters. Once they showed up this was obviously going to turn violent. Anyone that says otherwise is an idiot. It would have been smarter, safer, and more productive to make fun of the white nationalist on social media, on TV, and any other means than in-person…with baseball bats. Not to mention they gave Trump an out. He got to say “many sides” and “good people on both sides” and all that. Had the anti-protesters stayed home, he would have had to defend (or condemn) just the white nationalists.

Bottom line is racial tensions are too damn high. Everyone is to blame. The far left is authoritarian, the far right is bat s h it insane, and we have a president that likely has severe mental issues.

I just received an email from Mr. Smith in the last hour. Not that he’s brokering peace, but a nice statement about current (local) events.

Cooler is definitely atush. I thought Belinda was luffy but I’m not certain on that one, more of a wild guess.

To your statue point, I found it helpful to realize when a lot of them were erected, pointing to why they were erected. The early 1900s and 1960s, when the KKK came back, lynchings increased and of course the civil rights movement picked up steam. Kinda makes you wonder… except not really because it seems blatantly obvious why those statues exist.

It was interesting to see a very different point of view when, a few years ago, I visited Washington DC for the first time. I visited Arlington Cemetery where I learned that it used to be Robert E. Lee’s estate.

Coming from Texas (I live about 1/4 mile from Robert E. Lee High School in Midland, TX), I had always heard of the virtues of General Lee (the man, not the car). And I had heard that he was one of the greatest military generals in history, and that he had to choose whether to defend his home state of Virginia. I also heard that the Civil War was fought because of a difference of opinion. And the fact that it came to war was unfortunate, but a necessary evil. It was a war of brother against brother.

The tour guide at Arlington had a different take. In her mind, General Lee was a traitor who fought against the nation in the Civil War, and the Confederacy was a bunch of rebel assholes who had to be taught a lesson by whipping them into shape. (Noted - the tour guide was black. If that means anything.)

enjoy. btw i hated how my middle school teacher talked a lot shit about wikipedia.

Honestly they’re just statues. Take em all down for all I care. However it should be done at the ballot box or by elected representatives.

I always laugh at stuff like this. What exactly do people get by the existence or non-existence of a monument? In either case, does it really make your life better or worse? Seriously I’d be fine taking down every statue in the country and blowing up Mt Rushmore.

That would be all well and good, but we all know this isn’t about statues.

^The Washington Monument has given me a permanent inferiority complex.

In my place just opposite. Right wingers want to remove communist statues but leftist won’t permit this. Lol!

I mean, keep all monuments. This is all part of history of the nation.

Baltimore removing statues in the middle of the night. San Francisco officials trying to make the city a safe space. More cities talking about taking down statues.

There is plenty of crazy on both sides of this. There will be more violence for sure.
