    Just because people don't think you are funny doesn't mean they have no sense of humor. Your joke was .

    I like the conversation, but you're moving the goalpost again and avoiding my question.

    Do you have any positive reasons to keep the confederate monuments and place names, Darrin?

    You too, CC.

    I find your parsing of morality humorous and your tacit approval of slave owners in this thread even funnier.

    I find your complete avoidance of my question the funniest thing of all.

    Go ahead, give us all your positive reasons for keeping the confederate monuments and place names.

    tacit approval

    You struggle to speak for yourself. You don't get to define your political opponents. If it was about only slavery then you would see people looking to do what you are claiming.

    Instead the issue is the people that rebelled to preserve slavery. I get that nuance is tough for you but you're being pretty obtuse on this issue and showing a lack of independent thought.
    Your words chumpdumpster. You dont have any beef with slave owners, just actual participants in the civil war.

    I said take care of all the traitors first. That's the easy one. Then we'll have the other discussions.

    My words.

    Yale got rid of Calhoun name. Students at Princeton tried and failed to remove Woodrow Wilson name.

    I mean I can think of several positive reasons to keep Houston and Jefferson stuff -- but anything else those confederates may have done is overshadowed by, you know, the treason.

    I have no reasons to keep them or get rid if then. I do think the snowflake hysteria against them is just a further sign of the pussification of the US like safe spaces, etc.

    So removing vestiges of overt racism from public places of honor is "pussification"?



    I call bull . You wouldn't get this worked up just for that.

    Jefferson not only owned slaves, he literally ed them.
    Jeffersons place in history extends far beyond slavery. He penned the declaration of independence. Was big on religious freedom. Was our first secretary of state. Powerful advocate for states rights and co-founded the party to oppose federalists. He orchestrated the Louisiana purchase.

    His impact on our history extends so far beyond slavery that it's entirely disingenuous to throw him into the discussion. Robert E Lee is primarily known as the general of the Confederacy who's primary purpose of existence was the preservation of slavery.

    Are you sure you weren't one of the guys "guarding" the statue Wednesday with guns but were foiled by the park curfew?

    It would be pretty awesome to have a Sally Hemings presence somewhere in the Jefferson Memorial and some context explaining their relationship, such as it was, and the fact that Jefferson's blood flows through African Americans to this day.

    40 foot statue of anonymous confederate but up by white women when blacks couldn't vote? That can go.

    We can always tell you're angry when you try to big time us for no reason.

    Did I enter a time vortex and come out three weeks ago when this was a relevant topic and statue fetishists hadn't run out of arguments yet?

    I'm gloating since SA took down the statue in Travis Park. Darrin reposted a YouTube and CC said he's jes' trollin' gots and not mad at all. He also has a boat.
