Why is there still an Auschwitz in Germany? Shouldn’t Jews have demanded that it be erased from history? Of course not. Those most directly affected by the Holocaust want it to remain as evidence–as proof that those atrocities happened.
Yet, “activists” want to erase our history so generations to come might think slavery never happened? Don’t believe it.
They aren’t erasing our monuments and our history for the reasons they say. If they are allowed to continue, they will build their own monuments, their own false history of how America was always evil. There will be monuments to Marx and Stalin and perhaps Mao.
Trump opposed to removing Theodore Roosevelt’s statue spins as a given, that Trump is wrong for daring to oppose the removal of a symbol of our history. Marx, Stalin or perhaps Mao wold approve.
In the example here, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Sunday that “the city was in favor of the request from the museum to remove the statue because it “depicts black and indigenous people as subjugated and racially inferior.”
I suspect that there were white people who walked along side a US President as well. The statue was dedicated 21 years after Teddy Roosevelt died.
What the precise motive was for honoring black an Indian people could very well have been a positive one, but no matter. The cancel culture wants to erase anything good that America ever did perhaps ever more what it did wrong. Why?
The real motive of the cancel culture is to cancel America.

Auschwitz is in Poland.
Confederate monuments glorify a regime that was
A treasonous government that defended the institution of slavery. The confederacy’s reason for being was the belief that blacks were inferior and should be owned and treated like animals. It’s beyond ludicrous to assert that those who want to erase these despicable monuments want to erase the history of slavery. In Germany the swastika is banned because they refuse to honor their Nazi past. In America we cannot and must not ban confederate symbols because of first amendment rights however there should be zero tolerance of these displays in the public square. Especially now with the raw wounds of systemic racism that exist.
The head of BLM here in America, has decided that all Stain Glass Windows in Churches everywhere, should be destroyed, because they represent a White Jesus, and his White Mother!
How much of this stupid Hatrid of anything White, are we supposed to put up with, before we start fighting back?
Our tax dollars paid for these Statures, and they’re reminders of what we should never allow to happen in America again!
We should not stand back and allow this illiterate -uneducated -lazy trash, destroy everything!
Good conversation starter, Karen. And one that is needed now that we’ve slept through the first several decades….How many times do we hear “Wake Up America”? Ok, now that we’re awake let’s take a “logical view’ of what’s really going on….and it’s not racism.
Karen is spot on when she says, ” The true motive is to CANCEL OUT AMERICA !” and they re using somewhat ignorant & undereducated to do it !!! YOU are also a tool with all of your ‘white guilt”if you’re taking a knee or apoligixing for the inicquities of those 100 years ago.
Culture changes take time….this one began with Franklin Roosevelt sulities of providing ‘welfare’ (dependence on government) and worked itself forward slowly, methodically…
The begin by ‘giving’ and promsing what people say they want (entitled to) All goes well at first. It’s when the hand that feeds the massses that questions are voiced. Gradually, as in molasses slow, discomofrt grows. As resentment spreads more and more acts of discontenment gains momentum until a pushback gaining strength shoves it back into pages in history….
I believe that a massive pushback is under way that has lllittle to do with race, color or creed , The ‘push’ is motivtedby a new and renewed sense of “love of country” and realization that the freedoms found here far outweigh that of any other nation.
There are opportunities available, but no one will serve them up to you….”seek and ye shall find”
Remember….It’s not the Statue or who it represents, it’s the vandals that want to destroy our country…
THE ONES THAT WANT THIS COUNTRY THE MOST WILL FIGHT THE HARDEST TO TASTE ICTORY.
Remember in November
