[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they lost and we won. America has learned a lesson in the last few years about letting racist, fascist losers regroup and we're done doing it.[/quote]

If the Germans could come to terms with having been actual Nazis, we should be able to come to terms with fact country is blighted by history of slave-owning racists.   Tear that stuff down - most of it went up in era 1910-1970 anyway for reasons that are obvious.[/quote]

Germans don't whine about keeping statues of Nazis around.[/quote]

Can't tell if this is an idiot or a genius response.[/quote]

What's "idiot" about it?  Germans don't have statues celebrating Nazis like we do here with our statues celebrating Confederate butchers.  But you also don't hear a big outcry from Germans whining about "why did they take down the statues of Nazis, why did the rename buildings named after Nazis" the way we do here with the whining neo-Confederates when they complain about their mass-produced Jim Crow era confederate statues being taken down.  It's not "genius" either, it's what should just be mastery of the obvious.[/quote]
