Ya think judging cultural norms of 250 years ago in todays woke virtue signaling will be stopped where you want it stopped?Kismet wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 1:21 pm6 out of the first 13 Presidents of the United States were slaveowners while serving as President - Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and Taylor. Only Washington, Monroe, Taylor and Jaclson served in the military on the battlefield. In addition, Harrison, Polk, Tyler and Van Buren all owned slaves prior to becoming President but not while in office (Only Harrison served in the military on the battlefield).ChairmanOfTheBoard wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 1:10 pmsoooooo... slavery overlooked here because he did some good on the battlefield? wonder what BLM thinks.Matnum PI wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 1:00 pmThere are statues of Washington because he's the father of our nation, militarily and politically. If some amazing data fell from the sky to prove that Washington was actually an English spy who was trying to destroy our nation and didn't actually do all the positive things he's preported to have done, then he gets a bullseye. Otherwise, he's safely not a target.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:57 am So some clarification... when does the Washington monument become part of the bullseye?
is this movement about oppression, or rebellion against the state? both???
I don't think we want to go very far down this road. Confederate monuments/namings are a total different case.
Defund the police.
