Washington and Jefferson weren’t racist? They owned blacks as property.

Do you even know how "laws" are created?

Yes, laws are passed. There had been previous attemots to legislate the removal of the statue. They failed. You keep trying. Thats called being a nation of laws. We dont all get what we want when we want automatically or by force. Thats called anarchy, or in the hands of a few - oligarchy, faciscim or dictatorship.

Right. People can’t be allowed to just tear down things they don’t like. What would have happened if it was anything other than a statue? I saw a video of a bicyclist tearing down BLM posters. He lost his job and was arrested and rightfully so.

These monuments should have been taken down and put in a museum or cemetery years ago. Too bad it wasn't done then.

DC had wanted that statute down for years. Its on federal property and I think it needs Congressional approval to be removed. Congress won’t give it for reasons surpassing understanding but arising out of the completely dysfunctional nature of the DC-federal relationship. Its behond stupid the city has been stuck with this offensive statue for so long.

Exactly. And why were the cops just sitting back watching and condoning the vandalism and destruction of property? And why was the media encouraging such inappropriate behavior?


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...

Boomers protests led to the end of the war in Vietnam.

Zoomer protests will lead to the end of the war on Black America.

(That second one's been going on for over 150 years. It's time it ended.)

Sigh. So, segregated schools, separate but equal- Not, with all deliberate speed, whites only real estate covenants... all of these things have been what this “land of laws” has meant for some of us. So that phrase might not garner the reverence that you seem to have for it. For many minorities— “keep trying” makes what you view as “anarchy” look quite attractive — and possibly the only realistic option. To paraphrase Kimberly Jones: Be grateful that we want equality— and not revenge.
