Be emthapetic. You too would be offended by a monument dedicated to a figure who'd fought for the enslavement of your people.

The argument put forward by many of the 'statue remainers' is "they're part of our heritage and the history of this country ". OK, so why not put them in a museum where they can be appreciated by likeminded people? If you can compromise, the destruction of your history can be avoided.

Furthermore, didn't the Confederacy lose the Civil War? Why should there be monuments dedicated to the losers of a war? Isn't history written by the victors? This is another reason the statues should be moved to a museum, where they can be appreciated by those interested or made use of by historians.

And then the Jews can pay reparations and we can finally bring closure to slavery once and for all.

museums are carefully curated by historians. they don't just put any bullshit in a museum to prove a point.
>>
The losers are americans too you fucking inbred

Its a statue that commemorates the deaths of millions of young men who fought in our bloodiest war (americans vs americans)

Reminder: more americans died in the civil war than world war 1 and 2 combined.

>>137769915
Makes sense to me, but the left is ISIS at this point(of course the right is getting that way to).
>>
>>137769915
probably the best solution desu

good luck getting either side to entertain the thought tho
>>
>>137770404
they were young men just like you. fighting an unwinnable war.
>>
>>137769915
I agree with this. If there was a Stalin statue in Russia, shouldn't it be taken down??
>>
>>137770277
Apparently these statues are valued by many people, and according to >>137770404, "commemorate the deaths of millions of young men who fought in our bloodiest war..." If they're an important part of history, that's where they should go.
>>
>>137769915
Why can't some wealthy southerners who own property in the city just buy them and put them up on their own property?

The Confederate monuments aren't even really about the Confederacy. They went up as a counter-culture move against the civil rights movement. It's part of the unique American insanity.

>>137771007
Stalin didn't lose and there are still statues of him standing in Russia.
>>
>>137770404
Mmm
The enscriptions could be replaced with ones not honoring the military leader, but commemorating the sacrifices made by America as a whole.
>>
>>137771126
that's a good argument.

too bad it's bullshit, and you're lying. you don't actually care, at all.
>>
>>137771260
Should have melted that thing down the moment the Russians started chimping out.
>>
>>137771361
I'm not an American. Of course I don't care about those statues as much as Americans. That's why I used somebody else's argument. But moving them to a museum, a place where history can be preserved, seems to be the only option. They are offensive to some groups and they WILL be removed otherwise.

This. Most confederate monuments were put up after 1920 as part of the "Lost Cause" historical revisionism of the civil war that the south likes more than reality. Just look at Robert E Lee. When he was alive, he was extremely opposed to any statues being put up in his likeness. Then a few decades after his death, southerners decided to mythologize him and put his likeness up everywhere. They have zero respect for Lee as a person.

>fought for the enslavement of your people
That is historically incorrect.
>>
>>137772538
OK, but would blacks have been able to run free had the Confederates won the Civil War?

It's funny that there were actual veterans of the Civil War still alive when some of these Confederate Memorials were erected and they were not offended by them. It is sad that 120 years later there are dumb fucks that don't know shit about anything tearing down memorials to Americans that died in the bloodiest war our Country ever fought. It is tragic that people are allowed to dishonor our dead and trample our history while a statue of Vladimir Lenin sits proudly within the borders of our Nation. The people doing this should be ashamed and they should be punished.

>General Lee fought for enslavement

>they were losers

It was the civil war, which means it was our own people, it was the most american blood ever spilled, and it was primarily over secession.

fuck off.

They really do need to move all that shit to a museum. More so if it is on public property.
>>
>>137769915
Literally who looks at statues? Just keep them where they fucking are, really. Moving them removes context of history.

>>137775511
Just replace the plaques with your own version of history.

Because they're Americans?
>>
>>137769915
If you think this situation is about any of that stuff, you're crazy.

It's about the leftists showing their enemies who's in charge.

I'm not protesting the Obama monument though.
>>
>>137769915
It's about rewriting historical identity of a nation and people beliefs. No one fucking cares about statues.
They do that everytime they revolt. Commies destroyed churches and tsar legacy. Post commie goverments destroyed commie legacy. America is in the middle of leftie revolution.
>>
>>137769915
We created a museum/park with all the Soviet statues we tore down after getting independence. It's a good idea.
