Unfortunately, there are things that are trending that way on college campuses. There are POC only safe spaces to get away from the stresses of spending time around their white classmates and “peers”. This isn’t anything new, this was going on for a little while before all of this started and I think it’s very problematic.

As I said before, personally I'd rather they leave up a statue of a Jefferson, give a nod to his role in history. But also acknowledge he owned slaves and put up an additional statue memorializing the awfulness of that practice. Let young people see both.

Much can be learned by simply researching history if a young person wants to educate themselves. Not really sure a statue is necessary. People should have enough common sense to realize owning slaves was an awful practice.

The left seems to always do this in overplaying their hand. They did the same thing in the Kavanaugh trail with the #metoo nonsense then had to embarrassingly walk it back less than two years later.

99.9% of the US was outraged and upset at the Floyd murder but they would have you believe it is the other way around.

You would actually object to a statue to that effect just because people can "look it up"??? Come on.

No reason to put up the extra statue. People on your side will remind us daily.

The rabid left is creating a binary choice: Agree with them on everything no matter how extreme or YOU ARE A RACIST. Watch out! No prior lib credentials can save you. You better change this post quick.

Guess it depends on the person. Personally know a preacher that jogs to the top of Stone Mtn. on a regular basis, and has for decades. He's never expressed discontent with the place. But, he's also on a whole different level than most, regardless of race.

The extremes of both parties do that. Republicans say you support the flag, no matter what and tolerate no insult to it, even if the free expression is not actually harming anyone. Republicans within the administration or prior GOP administrations that break ranks with Trump on almost anything are branded as traitors.

Damn these people. Everyone one of them. The average American, even average Democrat, can’t think like this.

Would you object to two statues of MLK?

One portraying him “Reverend” Dr. Martin Luther King, leader and ambassador of the civil rights movement......the other portraying him as the womanizing, promiscuous, cheater Dr. King?

You know...to tell the whole story...
