I wonder how many Black lives have been and will be saved by tearing down or destroying statues?

This generation that expects to be forgiven its student loans and credit card debt seems unable to forgive faults of their forebearers.

Not to mention how many of us are more sympathetic to this organization while they continue to destroy statues and loot businesses.

Yep. It is said that 90% of the native Indian population was wiped out by diseases brought from Europe.

Nah, that would take too much time and effort and you wouldn’t be applauded on certain TV channels.

They aren't required to think, just destroy our culture. People who desire the destruction of America are paying the thugs to disrupt our way of life. Sad, indeed, that those elected to "represent" us are too terrified of the leftist press to take the action they should, I.e., enforce the law!

Ulysses S Grant statue torn down in San Francisco. Wait... wasn't he the guy most responsible for freeing slaves across the Confederacy?

How many tribes of fellow Indians did the Maya cause to be eradicated by their genocide?

With what is going on across our country - are OUR VILLAGES statues safe?

Are they 'offending' anyone?

Can they be targetted?


Should we be guarding them too?

Of course they’ll be targeted. Schwartz - Islamic extremists and skinheads are on the way. That steer or cow. Don’t you know their flatulence is destroying our atmosphere. AOC is probably on the way for that statue. And that dog - don’t get me started! The horse should be okay. After all, politicians seem to be related so the will protect it. They’re all a bunch of horses ...

Perhaps we wouldn't have the statue and other current issues if....if....


Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney Ebony and Ivory Lyrics

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why don't we?
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in everyone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?
Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, ooh
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in everyone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?
Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony (repeat and fade)

Not like the Spain did to south, Central America, and Southwestern portions of North America. All for greed of gold.

Debt forgiveness is a agenda for ____s.

The problem with setting slave ownership as an absolute standard is that it is almost impossible to find a sizeable society which did not place people in bondage (slaves, serfs, or their equivalents) prior to the modern anti-slavery movement in the 1800s.

Too many societies continue to do so today.

That’s odd, if you look closely, you'll notice that its MOSTLY the WHITES that are causing these protest havoc.
These are the children who have been spoiled by high cost radical college professors who are being supported by Mon, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.....
Time to wipe-out-the-belt and bring these spoiled brats back into the house....

Certainly in the conversation along with Incas and Aztecs.
