States had a perfect right to secede. Secession was not treason.

However, when the attacked Fort Sumter, they started the war.

Look, somebody in 2020 still espousing the Lost Cause.

Says the person who clearly lacks understanding of historical context.

Dude, we all know the historical context. Arguing that the states had a right to secede is so 1860.

And the sad part is that our local government is promoting such vandalism.

Thanks to state and local government officials breaking their oaths to uphold and defend the laws of their respective jurisdictions, these unlawful mobs will only grow bolder. Already, some PP is suggesting using dynamite for larger edifices. What line has to be crossed before people really wake up? Firebombing the Washington Monument? We’ve already started descending on a slippery and dangerous slope.

It would be really touching if folks like you spared even a smidgen of the concerns you have about "vandalism" of monuments to slavery for actual living human beings.

You're expressing similar concern about unlawful behavior by the police towards the people they're sworn to serve and protect, right?

Absolutely. I think you'd find that people who are against mob rule are also against police abuse of power. Whats confusing or contradictory about that?

The Nei-Confederates would miss Stone Mountain much more than the Washington Monument.

It's interesting, though - the things people choose to speak up about. Don't you think? Some people speak up about people. Some people speak up about statues.

Instead of expending your creative energy playing all cute and smug, why don't you actually read what posters above have raised? Posters are speaking up about laws -- laws which are made by people and are upheld by people; laws which can change over time as society and societal values change.

You can do better.

Go ahead and keep prioritizing things done to statues over things done to people.

It seems you can’t do better. Oh, well.

No. It’s actually worked exactly as it was designed to over the last 40 years.

You just assume it was designed to do something other than what we’re seeing now. Such as educating students and producing adults capable of reason. That’s why you think it has failed.

Can they do something constructive with their energy, like volunteer?

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.)

The first war was real; the second, not so much.

Don't kid yourself. Police power has been used to wage a war on black Americans since reconstruction. It's become less overt over the years, but it's still raging.

All a police officer needs to say to justify killing a black man in contemporary America is "I thought he was reaching for a gun."

Do you think they ever do think he's reaching for a gun? I wonder if the way to go is robots--like robo cop.
