[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These statues are the OG Virtue Signaling [/quote]

And [b]nobody really knew about all of these statues [/b]until it became the latest pet project for the justice warriors.[/quote]

This is untrue. They were on public property at government buildings, parks, etc. [/quote]

Even worse, taxpayer money was used every year to protect and maintain the statues and monuments that sat on public land. [/quote]

I don't think anyone thought about that because very few people knew the statues existed. Of course, residents living near the statues knew about them, but that's about it.[/quote]

Actually quite a few people knew about them all along — from the Daughters of the Confederacy types that venerated them, and those of us who were repulsed by them.

Perhaps you could consider expanding your thinking— instead of projecting your personal limitations on the rest of us.

I was disgusted when I first moved down here and saw statues of these POSs. And streets named after them. WTAF?

It’s about damn time that these streets names were changed.
