You think any of those dipshits who showed up to protest the removal of the statue and parks name being changed have ever been oppressed? White people arent oppressed. Certainly not in the south of all places.

I'm sorry, who would decide which groups are and aren't allowed Constitutional Rights then? Do you want the Government to have that kind of power? We'd eventually end up with no rights if we went down that road.

Now you want us to be more like Germany? You should probably just stop posting now. You're not yourself when you're hungry.

The difference is they embrace it - and try to learn from it.

We as Americans try to pretend that it doesn't exist anymore, and that it wasn't as bad as it's made out to be.

Racism on this level is fucked. What I want are these bigot, racist motherfuckers to be afraid to show their racism and true feelings in public. Let be hidden.

Trump has emboldened these people. When Spencer and Duke are praising our President, which happened today after his press conference, and he doesn't denounce that, it's a problem.

Mmm.. I always saw it as Germany trying to erase their own past by censoring it from movies, games, tv and the like.

Uh...what? That's the exact opposite of what's going on.

Germany pretends it doesn't exist anymore by making the shit illegal and driving the groups under ground. Americans embrace the idea of free speech and allow these morons to parade around in the open for everyone to mock them.

Germany, and really all of Europe, likes to PRETEND they don't have a bunch of racist assholes in their country and they do this through various means of censorship.

Oh fucking stop with the bullshit leftist narrative. The KKK and other assorted bigots have been holding rallies far longer than Trump has been president. The only difference is now the "anti-protesters" are getting increasingly violent at these rallies and tensions have risen. You aren't doing anyone any favors by attacking someone for expressing their free speech, it has already led to the deaths of 3 people. It's time to stop.

~ Robert E. Lee

Lee actually didn't want slavery - he actually didn't even want to succeed from the Union, however, loyalty to a persons state was almost (possibly more so) as important as loyalty to country back then. He fought for the south because Virginia fought for the south, not because he wanted slavery to continue.

We can argue the merits of that decision, or his privilege, however, to lump him in with people who are actually racist is a stretch.

1. Lee married into a wealthy slave-owning family.

2. When his father-in-law died, he took over. He didn't free the slaves.

3. He instructed that the slaves that tried to flee to be beaten severely.

I'm not an expert on Lee, but I know he wasn't a friend to black folks.

Hey Shaft, just say that you disagree with the freedoms of speech and assembly.

He actually did free those slaves, not immediately, but he did.
