So I ask again, where does it end and who, on this faux moral crusade to re-write our past, actually decides? What do you do about slave owners like George Washington? Why are Lee, Nelson, Columbus proposed as fair game if Washington isn't? Have you read some of Washington's comments on his slaves? Just try and follow this nonsense down its logical path (as logical as this gets - which isn't very) and see where we end up.

Still it will create lots of employment - think of all those street names, buildings, warships that need re-naming. That'll keep the map makers busy - and boy will Wikipedia need a lot of new contributors.

Problems that remain in society don't get fixed by re-writing history. They get fixed by confronting the past, recognising the journey and striving to get where we want to be.

What evidence is there for that? I just watched a documentary on the development and use of the atomic bomb which said that even after the second (Nagasaki) bomb the hardliners in the Japanese Cabinet wanted to fight to the death. They even wanted to defy the emperor's speech. There were just enough that wanted to obey the emperor to decide to surrender if the Allies would allow the emperor to remain head of state. Surrender was supposed to be unconditional but Truman accepted the emperor remaining condition and ended the war - the implication being that if he stuck to "unconditional surrender" the Japanese would have fought on. Even without the A-bomb air raids were devastating Japanese cities and killing tens of thousands. I don't see "ready to capitulate" as a sure thing without the bomb.

Considering the capital of the country they "govern" is named after Washington, imagine the consequences. Maybe they can rename it Freedom Fries, D.C. That seemed to work well before.

This is the crux, that all the "Washington, Jefferson . . ." apologists miss. The Confederacy was a traitorous enterprise. It was never a nation (see USSC decision.) The officers of the CSA, especially Lee, were traitors by the plain wording of the US Constitution. Put the statues in museums, with plaques explaining they were traitors. Get them off public streets and out of public parks.

Some (not all - some) who want to remove or change various icons are very bigoted in various ways but seem to pushing for some sort of false purity, almost as though it justifies their own bigotry. What will come of doing so is worse bigotry and extremism as reasoned perspectives are replaced by emotional lynch-mobbing. I will shut up now.

Condoleezza Rice on Slave Owner Statue Purge: ‘It’s a Bad Thing’
“I’m a firm believer in keep your history before you,” Rice answered. “And so, I don’t actually want to rename things that were named for slave owners. I want us to have to look at these names and recognize that they did.”

Status: offline 		If we applied scripture, we would by acclamation take down the monuments, recognizing that they are "stumbling blocks" to a meaningful percentage of our population.

But that wouldn't be a solution. There will be no satisfying the grievance movement until everything is torn down and there is a new form of government rooted in something - mob rule, pure democracy, anarchy, libertarianism, or something. And eventually, like all forms of government (democracy, republic, socialist, communist, fascist), wealth and power will accrue to a small percentage smart enough, strong-willed enough, selfish enough, or lucky enough to thrive. And the process would be repeated.

America, warts and all, has the freedom of movement to go up or down, depending on hard work, smarts, athleticism, luck, good looks, whatever. We are not bound hard by chains in our social class. We have been a mobile nation...and that trend has increased over time, as minorities have become more and more part of the mainstream classes and wealth classes. We have lots of warts, but I prefer imperfect freedom to imperfect totalitarianism or imperfect mob rule.

We would do well to emulate Lincoln's "with malice towards none, with charity for all" sentiment. But that's not where we're heading.

Yes, but the American Revolution was a traitorous enterprise.

Famous people get the monuments.

Almost every single individual that has ever had a monument erected to him or her
Is a Son of a Bitch in one area or another. It is almost an historical requirement because
Famous people are often complex like that.

The problem is where does it end? What is the next step? I’m a southerner and I don’t have a dog in this fight. I don’t care if the monuments stay or go but what about me?

My ancestors fought for the south. In your book they were all traitors. When the war was over they returned to their homes and farms and had children. In your book they were they still traitors even after they took the oath of allegiance. I’m a direct descendent of those people. I have their DNA in my body and bloodstream.

You could say without reservation that I’m a living monument to those traitors and slave owners.

There are direct descendents of Jefferson and Lee living in our country.
There are black people living in America that have Thomas Jefferson’s DNA in them.

What are you going to do with us living monuments?

Maybe we will have to wear an armband. Instead of the Star of David maybe a small Confederate flag
On the armband to signify we have at least one drop of slave owner blood in our systems.

Yes it will. It shouldn't but it will. And it's not Matrix's fault. They've been willing to bend over backwards in an attempt to be fair and open and kind and tolerant. But , in the long run , they are a commercial enterprise and controversy just doesn't pay the bills.

"It ought to be a law!". "We should do SOMETHING about that!". "Why hasn't anyone stopped that?". In my mind, these are the culprits to much of our societies failings.

Let me explain. We are a society of well meaning people. We try to cure every illness, right every wrong , solve every problem. And we are arrogant to think we can. We have full time state legislatures, full time politicians in every capacity no matter how small the community, we complain when congress takes a week off (when our ancestors were worries when they met too much) and a legal system to tries to right every imaginable wrong (and quite a few unimaginable ones too!).

We are busy bodies , micro managers and individuals with a God complex.

Why? Previous generations looked at "problems" and asked are they really problems? Should we interfere? Is it any of societies concerns or that of individuals? Should we just butt out? But today everyone needs to have a grievance , has to be a victim, or some how they feel incomplete. Disputes that in the past we worked out by two individuals behind a barn, now require a bloated judicial system. Why? And how did we get to everyone has a immediate need to be addressed , but people who have a different view to ours cannot have their say , in the name of "Social justice?". Isn't ANY justice by our vary system "Social?" In every legal jurisdiction does not a criminal trial issue a case of "the people against ...."? Or the state of , or the US Government (you know , of "We the people" fame) against...."?




Maybe THAT's the main song of the recent Disney musical Frozen resonated so strongly with people. "Let it go" is good advice. Don't have an opinion on everything , especially things that don't concern you. And of course that old bit of advice on government (often attributed to Jefferson , but could be anybody) "the government that governs least, governs best". My personal favorite adage is "just because you CAN do something , doesn't mean you should". Or maybe all these government incursions into life is just the political equivalent of "hold my beer".

Well said. I can't believe how many "tear down the monuments apologists" simply miss this fundamental point. Depending on whose 'side' you sit, someone is going to be a bad guy to someone. So for example, depending on whose side you sit, one of Charles I or Oliver Cromwell was a traitor. The 1640's were a massively important time in British history. There are monuments, there are memorials to both. That time needs to be remembered. So does the US Civil War.

Condoleezza Rice - you put it perfectly.

But I sure am getting a lot out of it. When I read the thoughts of people who I respect but who disagree with me on a point it prompts me to sit down, examine my beliefs, and make a good faith effort to assure that what I believe is based on logic and good reasoning and deferring when possible to the viewpoints of others.

This forum has been the best I've ever known. There are a remarkable number of people here whose opinions I respect immensely. And to get input from people far, far away (Minnesota, Germany, Scotland, Singapore, Korea, et al) is most helpful and interesting. Living here in my rural southern community in which I have no television or smart phone means that you guys (and gal) are pretty significant threads in the "fabric of my community."

warspite1

One other pertinent point on the US Civil War. This was a war fought between unequal sides its true, but the southern states were still a sizeable group in numbers of states and population within. Had they, their populace and their leaders been shunned, vilified and hounded after the war with no memorials or statues to their fallen, their leaders, allowed, how would that make them feel? Part of a Union? Instead the Union stayed together, the US grew strong united and those descendants of the southern states can remain proud of their country (USA) but also their south, their state or whatever, while remaining within the Union. That was - whether wholly by design or by luck - the sensible way to deal with the defeated. Had they tried the age old way perhaps resentment and anger (and fear) would have simply festered and the USA would be very different to the one we know today.

What about you? You didn't fight against the nation 150 years ago, so nothing. I don't blame kids for the choices their parents, or ancestors, made.
