About that time, Strom Thurmond dropped out of the Democratic party and became a Republican because the Dems were just not racist enough for him anymore.
At any rate let the record show that all slaveholders were democrats and they fought a war with the republican north to preserve slavery. Democrat party owns responsibility for the KKK almost all democrats. Slavery wasn't an american problem as much as a democrat party problem.
No more self-awareness than a dog licking its own asshole in public.
Good idea we should at least have statues for the people you listed, especially John Brown, add Booker T Washington and Frederick DouglassHoly shit, Bubba's onto something. Do not erase history! Instead, let's knock all them statues down and replace with with statues of Harriet Tubman, John Brown, David Walker, Benjamin Lundy, William Lloyd Garrison, and a whole lot more.
The good news is that I think covid 19 will pass and everything will be back to normal in less than a year. Big fan of Booker T. Washington and his books, Frederick Douglass autobiography where he stands up to his master and escapes slavery is another good one.
I can see the point that there should be more abolitionist statues and black heroes from the various eras, but I can only accept taking down the existing ones by a vote at least, not by the ignorant mob for political stunts.
It matters? How? In helping us avoid repeating past mistakes? Great.
