You really love to disagree with me for no reason. I agree with you.

But I'm not naive. You can't expect everyone in the world to react to everything in the world the same way you would. I don't.

When a Black family moved to an all white suburb, no Democrat treated them right.

FIFY

The history will can be preserved in a museum. We're not throwing them in the trash.

No, they bust them up, throw some in rivers, others abused with acid and spray paint. Is that "Trashing" them? You are one odd person!

I wonder if he's related to Greta Thornburg?

That's what vandals do. I was talking about our local governments removing them, i.e. Jacksonville, New Orleans, Nortfolk, etc.

There's no freakin' slavery in America today and hasn't been for over 150 years.   YOU FOOLS.   You won't mention anything about the slavery that goes on in the Islamic world and Africa.   THAT"s where people are being sold in slave markets...they're tortured, starved...even CRUCIFIED, raped, murdered.   YOU Leftist IDIOTS, YOU LEFTIST IGNORAMUSES,  YOU LEFTIST HYPOCRITES.

QuoteIf Mayor Bottoms cherished hopes of becoming Biden's Veep pick, she had better put those hopes in a memory box and put the box in the back of her closet. Her policies giving license to the activists have been disastrous for Atlanta, something else that the Times avoids covering.

I can not imagine the pain her parents are going thru, her father said it best, ""They say Black Lives Matter. You killed your own... You killed a child."
 

  Again, even if the riots bring attention to a issue, which was already all over the news, had already united the American public against the crime, more hate and violence and destruction will not bring about unity, or peace, or justice. To think otherwise is just lying to yourself and others. Wake up liberals, people are dying out there.

I disagree on the justice. The threat of social unrest to that scale can cause government action in order to avoid it.

Maybe if there were riots and looting for Breonna Taylor, her killers would be in jail or charged.

Maybe the threat of the riots is what made Minnesota hold Floyd's killers to some account so quickly.

Riots are not good. But you can't act as if the threat of violence doesn't make people act.

What is: "it"? And do you have a database or list of places where "it" is happening?

Let me make it easier for you. Tell us the GOP run cities with these issues.

Joe, your justification of the violence is sicking. Maybe you can convince yourself on the great benefits of the violence that uncontrolled riots cause, but decent law abiding citizens, the ones who build this country not tear it down will never agree with you. Your justification of the violence is just copying the talking points of the damn liberals who are in favor of the destruction if it gets Trump out of office.
  This was an innocent child, eight years old. Your whole damn statement is exactly what is wrong with this country.
  It was never the threat of violence that made the American people see what happened to Floyd was wrong, it was their decency and morals that made them see it was wrong, something you with your liberal brand and all liberals will never understand.
The killers of this little girl will be brought to justice, and not because of the threat of more violence as you suggest but because this is a nation of laws, a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values, something else you will never understand because morals are the natural enemy of the liberal way of thinking.
Joe, you have no social redeeming values if you can see any good coming out of the killing of a child. I pity you.

What do you mean "these" issues?

What issues specifically do you think are limited to, what I suppose you mean, cities with Democratic mayors?

Which in it's own right is still vandalism. These statues honor the memory and passions of the day. They stand as testament to the past so people will question the past, good and bad, they are our history, the entire Nations history.
Now do you get why the DNC wants them removed?

Again, it was riots and violence that helped create America. It was violence that helped free the Slaves. It was riots and violence that drove Blacks out of the South. It was riots and violence that helped get Civil Rights Legislation passed.

We agree that violence and riots are bad. In a perfect world, Justice would have already prevailed. But we don't live in a perfect world.

Except that those statues were put up nearly 100 years later to celebrate the traitorous Confederates to went to war with America.

They can be removed and we can continue to teach the history. We've learned all about the Civil War w/o having a Confederate statue in our town.

He refuses to make the connection because he'd have to admit the systemic racism in the DNC party.
