identified and exiled, too, while we're at it.

I'm a descendent of Confederate traitors..

I hate and despise the cause they fought for, and I hate their fucking flag. So...just, no.

is to leave, then. No amount of "hating their f-- flag" gets you a pass. You are and your relatives are a part of American history that we want to erase. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

In all seriousness, think about the road this is taking us down.

Today, those monuments are seen as symbols of evil, but where does it stop? Does it stop with just getting rid of statues or historical reminders? What about the plantations that have been preserved? Should they be torn down, too? What about the civil war cemetaries? Should the markers of confederate soldiers be removed? Should the Lee family be written out of Virginia history?

What if someone who thinks the way to right the wrongs of slavery is to banish the decendants of slave owners and confederate soldiers from America gets a powerful position in the WH just like Stephen Miller has? I doubt many ever thought in the US we'd be deliberately separating children from families, locking people in cages and trying force 11M people out of the country either. But this is what one ideologue with power can do.

It was about the "oppressed" South thumbing their nose at the "tyrannical" North.

I can think of many individuals from American history whose legacies are far more worthy of preservation than Confederate Gen. Williams Carter Wickham.

Not very good satire, and clumsily executed.

Removing the statues of traitors, and forcing their descendants into exile, are two different things.

That's what needs to be understood.

to perpetuate the "Lost Cause" myth and to intimidate black people who were and are agitating for civil rights.

but they left those statues up anyhow, JUST to be obnoxious. It's not like they haven't had years since the moves to remove those statues from publicly funded places started happening. They have had years to remove their precious statues and put them in a museum. They didn't do it. They left them up JUST to be obnoxious.

Let me see.

Where is it?

Where did I put it.

I know it is here somewhere.

Here it is:

Republicans and never surrendered. Lincoln, Grant and Sherman.
