[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is allowed theres no end. Such ignorant behavior. We are a land of laws or we are not.[/quote]

Do you even know how "laws" are created?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.
