^^^ yeah it will be hard to prove a monument was put up because of racism, but in cases where it can be proved, it shouldn't be a fight to move or change. Statues do change occasionally, there's no rule that say they need to stand forever until the end of time.
And another aspect of systemic racism is that institutions established when racism was accepted persist until they wouldn't have been established in the first place. It's pretty reasonable to recognize this and replace at least some of these monuments with more relevant ones. This also shouldn't require the legislature to vote on it.
If there are 10 monuments put up during jim crow for "confederate pride" and 1 for civil rights put up recently, there's nothing wrong with taking down a few of those 10 to celebrate something more relevant to the modern age.
We could just keep making new monuments, but then there will be monuments everywhere.
Either way, it doesn't make sense for the legislature to have to vote on all of these monument changes. This is bureaucracy and micromanagement at the worst levels.

I like how the gun show this weekend had lots of confederate and Nazi flags prominently on display (at the main entrance/exit). It's all about heritage, right? It's nice to see all these German Americans and Southern Americans find some camaraderie. 8/3/2015 5:02:53 PM |

it's the bugfuck insane whites that are offended by it and they're offended that their blacks aren't offended like they should be, those poor ignorant blacks that need constant white protection.

On my trip to Wilmington 2 weekends ago, I took NC-218 from Charlotte through Polkton to bypass Monroe. I have done this trip literally dozens of times during the 2010-2012 time period. I never remember seeing as many confederate flags as i've seen this past trip.

With time, the reactionary rebel flags will eventually come down.
It's obvious to me that the South is the best so I don't really need a flag for it.
However, if our reputation as racists makes us a less desirable place to live, then I'm cool with it. And I'ma need a good quarter of the people already here to move back home. 8/13/2015 2:02:03 PM |

Dude, don't be silly.
Amazon, Walmart, and eBay stopped selling stuff with the flag on it. South Carolina took it down.
So you went out and bought some shit with the flag on it. You're the reactionary, and there's nothing wrong with that. But there is no other way to conceive it. 8/17/2015 6:32:53 AM |

As a weird coincedence, a friend of my is a nurse and one of her parents sell random crap on-line. One of his products are confederate flags and confederate flag merchandise. Supposedly his business has been booming since uproar about the confederate flag stuff started.
