  1. They are just scared,,,of the thuggish, behaviour,,,,of the racist pepole,,the governor,s and other week pepole in charge. Thats what happens when you vote the wrong men and women in charge scared to stand up to threats …

  2. History Says The Confederates Fought Against The Union Army, The Union Army Is Our Current Military, So Facts They Were Treasonous Traitors, I'm Not A Service Member But I Stand With Our Military The United States Army The Marines The Air Force The Navy The Soldiers All That

  3. WHAT ABOUT MEXICAN'S AND MEXICAN AMERICAN'S THAT WERE LYNCHED IN TEXAS THEY STILL HAVE A RESTAURANT NAMED THE HANGING TREE 😷😭😠😠😠

  4. The Confederates were not Americans they said so themselves they attacked America and lost most of the statues were not put up until Jim Crow to send a message that the wasps may have changed but the racist in those states are still in charge and they better not forget it . This heritage b***** is just that bullshit

  5. You are all Breaking God's laws these are false Idols a president is a false idol we have too many false Idols if we had one God which we do if we followed what he says we wouldn't have all this breaking news there is no father on Earth let that sink in surprise shame on you

  6. What I don't get is many of the statues they are defacing many were not slave owners or even in the civil war. These folks are stupid and need to learn the history.

  7. Why do people confuse respect with common courtesy . respect is earned like trust and love. Common courtesy is what we ALL should show each other. Removing statues is pandering to one group of people and in itself is a form of prejudice and be racists . when you go to buy food to expect cause you dont like a certain food the store should remove it. NO. so stop pushing your feelings off on others.

  8. Some people say this is not about slavery …you wrong cuz the north wanted to use machinery the South wanted to use slaves that's the whole economic thing was aboutNorth want to change the lives of America the South didn't the South wanted to keep slaves

  9. Who celebrates the losing side and the leaders who failed to achieve their objectives? I don't ever see
    BIG parades for the losing superbowl team or statues about how they almost won.

  10. I love how to some people, offending others especially when their community is being verbal about it, turns into “well if they’re offended, sorry but….” meanwhile I can’t make mistakes like that

  11. @Nicki Polizzi. The only history any people can live is the one they have had. Can't hide and can't change the events and their consequences. One can lie, but for it to work, EVERYONE HAS TO ACCEPT THE LIE ALL OF THE TIME, something quite impossible, even with religions.

  12. The war did meet the criteria of civil wars. Example, the colonists fought a war for separation from England, not for control of the British government. Likewise, The Confederacy did not fight to control the government of THe U.S.A. They fought to save and perpetuate and expand the boundaries of their newfound country. That is what a war for INDEPENDENCE is about. THE BIGGEST U.S. TERRITORY, NUEVO MÉXICO , JOINED THE CONFEDERDACY. Had they been successful, California would have become extremely vulnerable. Civil War for this war Is a euphemism, another LIE that we need to UNLEARN.

  13. Arnold, the veteran is full of baloney. The confederate flag does symbolize and glorify slavery. Arnold is a slavery apologist, but that is his right.

  14. Texas needs to follow suite and stop telling lies about how those slave owning Battle of the Alamo were heroes. They were not heroes. They were racist slave holders who wanted to continue slavery. That is what the Battle of the Alamo was really about but its history has been whitewashed.

  15. Just because a white person thinks it shouldn’t be offensive does not make it so. That is just white privilege at it’s grandest; telling black folk how to feel about a blatantly racist symbol.

  16. What would you say about Grant running all the black off that was following his army across the south for food and safety he made it clear he didn’t want them following his army by blowing up brides after his army pass over so the ex slaves could not follow and he was elected president something’s not clear In the milk the war of northern aggression had nothing to do with slavery, it was still legal in three states to own slaves after the war was over to get the crops in for the winter, now fast forward 155years you still have slavery today you can’t do anything about what happen 155 years ago but you can do something about what the Saudi’s and many countries in Africa are still doing TODAY
