Richmond is taking down Confederate statues: Is this the end for other Confederate memorials?

[utvolpj]

Men really need exam their manhood.

You sound like the type who would like to do it for them

To ve consistent, the ww1 ww2 should be gone. You communists will not be satisfied. Talking about being useful idiots. Are you only going to keep the union monuments up?

“Consistent” because in the World Wars we also fought to uphold slavery?

This is a guy using “communist” to describe those who see confederate statues as backwards. I wouldn’t expect a reasonable answer to this question.

It wasn't about slavery like you revisionists want.

If i was you'd definitely be lacking.

You know, it really should be a national holiday.

Trump tweeted that he "will not even consider" renaming military bases named after Confederate leaders. I'll leave that for others to argue about, but I'm curious as to process on this. Who gets the final call to rename (or not rename) said bases?

Yeah, it was actually about the states’ rights to...own slaves

I’m fine with him dying on this hill.

I'm fine with that.

Don’t know the answer to your question, but those bases are for sure getting renamed. The days of Confederate idolatry are numbered, no matter how long Trump holds out

His rationale is hilarious:

Not far off of happy’s “we should honor all history because it’s history” a few posts ago

Maybe we can name them after karl, stalin, castro. When you see a monument tgatorfan do you twitch and cry?

Idolatry really? What a panty waste.

You seem more triggered by him than he is by monuments

I still don't undErstand the Random capitaLization present ThroughOut his tweets.

Changing the name of something doesn't change the thing itself. It wouldn't make it less of a military base or change who trained there. I guess Trump didn't get that line about roses in Romeo and Juliet.

Do you have a source for this? This sounds like anecdotal evidence.

Nope. Betting you dont have a source for your stance either. Best I could find was Quora. Usual mix of the internet. https://www.quora.com/How-do-German-high-schools-teach-students-about-Hitler-and-WW2

Not finding curriculum on the subject matter.

Probably a sticky shift key covered with ketchup from his big Mac.

His rationale is hilarious:

A non-zero chance that he doesn't know those generals lost their war.

“We should keep things the way they are because that’s how they are” is just a terrible argument in general, and it’s just about the only argument in favor of Confederate statues/base names

It is an interesting question I haven't seen much about. With the bases being federal property and all, I suspect the local or state governments probably wouldn't get a say.

Paying taxes/tariffs, developing their land. Developing their industry. But sure self determination only applies to the slave thing.
