so Trey if i'm understanding your point, the BLM movement is -- on the whole -- doing an overwhelming amount good...and just because it isn't perfect that doesn't mean that it deserves to be...torn down?

I'm sorry - are you suggesting that a USG statue has been an overwhelming force for good? Or that confederate statues are are overwhelming force for good? Or that the confederacy was an overwhelming force for good?

THe mentions.   People are already certain this is just another Jussie Smollett episode.

I think the likelihood that this is a Jussie Smollett-type hoax is pretty small. The guy just successfully got the traitor flag banned at all nascar events. To then go and fake something like this would be so weird.

yeah, look it's bad and the people that tore down that statue are dumbasses.  you don't have to reflexively defend everything that people you perceive as on your side do.

at the same time, it's also counterproductive to malign a movement that's doing a lot of good things just because they aren't doing everything perfectly 

Great.  Glad we agree that tearing down the Grant statue was dumb.

whose life is negatively affected by that? much ado about nothing

I happen to be the great-great-great great-grandson of USG, and I can tell you this hit me like a shot to the gut.

my condolences for your loss, spracs

this is literally the same argument made by those who oppose removing statues of confederate soldiers.


and it's just as stupid on either side.  the stories we tell ourselves about our history matter.  they're part of what forms our culture.

except that people's lives ARE negatively affected by glorification of the antebellum south. it really seems to be picking nits - you tear down one statue that maybe didn't deserve to be torn down and every POS pub comes out of the woodwork to suggest that the BLM movement is dangerous, or stupid, or just an example of cancel culture, instead of the many great substantive things that it is

You could literally say the same thing about this country and yet your maligning it on this board constantly.

except when the country fucks up, people needlessly suffer. that's alot different from tearing down a statue of a union general (a victimless crime).

Personally I don’t really gaf about any statues but I do think the vandals should pay for the damage.

like a reparation?

Well except this would be payment from the exact perpetrators to the exact victim. So maybe more like a lawsuit.

you should look up the definition of the word "reparation". "Exactness" doesn't have anything to do with it

I truly have no idea where you are going with this.

you're too caught up in the details. why would anyone give a eff about tearing down one USG statue? if 300 confederate statues get torn down, that's awesome right? but if protestors tear down 300 confederate statues and 1 USG statue, now all of a sudden it's a rough ridin' travesty.

Sidebar to that, one of the most hard-line right always trumpers on texags lives in Seattle and has been repeatedly trying to tell everyone that fox has been extremely misrepresenting the chaz situation and how he's personally walked through it multiple times and now he's basically been exiled from the board for being a tool of the deep state.

no self-respecting, god-fearing aggie would ever choose to live in Seattle

I can see how the Italian-American community would take it upon themselves to protect Columbus statues. They've been raised to see him as hero all their lives.
