Activists Whitewash Racist Democrat Slave History with Assistance - Black & Blonde Media

Erasing history is never a good idea. And the current exercise in expunging all relics of the "Old South" is an excellent example of just how unfair it all is. Are those tearing down Confederate monuments vilifying slave owners or are they vilifying all whites? I suggest it is the latter inasmuch as they are not polishing the monuments of those who fought to end slavery. (They were mostly white and Republican)

Thank you for the interesting share Bob.

Ther's a big difference between erasing history and ceasing to honor a particular thing. No one has suggested removing information about the confederacy from history books or museums. That would be erasing history. Removing statues that glorify those who fought for the right of one set of humans to own another set of humans, the same way the own a horse, is not erasing history at all. Especially when you look at the time and place that many of those statues were erected in the first place. Many were put up at a time when certain groups were reviling against the results of the civil war and wanted to glorify the idea of white supremacy. So let's not cry crocodile tears that a young person in a public park today will no longer play under the shadow of a statue of Jefferson Davis praising the mans "vision" when that vision was a country where whites owned blacks.
