Once we purge the country of Civil War monuments and references,

[B2G]

we can then move on to the Native American wars.

Lots of monument & statues to destroy. And places to rename.

Busy busy.

1. Then there's the whole Japanese interrment to deal with

Did we do something bad to Mexico? I seem to recall...

[seveneyes]

2. When will Washington be renamed?

And shouldn't Mount Vernon be in a museum?

[HappyMe]

4. This whole thing has gone far afield of the actual point.

That flag is a symbol of racism and white supremacy. You can't wipe out the shameful history of slavery here, no matter how many monuments you blow up.

Getting rid of that flag is great symbolically, but we ourselves need to do the work to get rid of rampant racism.

5. I think there should be a massive memorial to the victims of the Slave Trade built in place of these

'monuments' to the war fought to keep them enslaved. I also think it is definitive of those places that they have built so many monuments and never thought to Memorialize that great genocide nor pay homage to the lives destroyed.
What they did is they built all the wrong monuments.

7. Sometimes the Indians win

In central Oregon, there is a town named Maupin, in honor of Howard Maupin, the rancher who shot Paulina, the Northern Paiute warrior and leader. But Paulina won the "naming after me" battle, with a small town in Crook County, Paulina Lake, Paulina Basin, Paulina Crater, and probably more.

8. A lot of cities here in California will need to be renamed.

That genocidal maniac Junipero Serra and his henchmen named them after saints when they weren't busy slaughtering the natives.

9. Not a purge, nor a ban-- simply some state houses refusing to celebrate it

Not a purge, nor a ban, nor any destruction-- simply some state houses refusing to celebrate the primary goal of the failed 4-year secessionist states, and the free market reacting to negative publicity.

However, should you wish to purchase a confederate battle flag, fly it from your porch whilst sipping a mint julip and whistling Dixie to celebrate your interpretation of history, feel free to-- no government agency will prevent you from doing so.

Maybe post a picture for us...

Busy, indeed.

[B2G]

10. Mint julips are disgusting, I would never own a rebel flag

but Dixie is catchy.

I guess my thinking so is doubleplus ungood.

[LanternWaste]

11. I imagine it's fun to pretend monuments are being destroyed.

I imagine it's fun to pretend you're being denied the ability to purchase the rebel flag or that monuments are being destroyed.

Doubleplus good, indeed; regardless of whether your thinking was actually a factor or not...

[B2G]

13. If DU has its way, it's only a matter of time. nt

[Spazito]

16. LOL!

DU is all powerful, be afraid, be very afraid.

[Downwinder]

12. Ahead of the curve.

Years ago they hauled the grave markers for the Confederate Veterans Cemetery to the land fill, put a concrete cap on it, and built a Corporate structure.

[CreekDog]

14. I like Cjeekdgg

[Rex]

15. That will never die!

Drinking and posting...

17. Good plan, where do we start?
