I guess if we remove all confederate statues and monuments, everybody will have jobs, there will be no racism and we all will sing cumbaya. (sarcasm)

Nah...we'll just have like 1500 fewer antiquated, semi tacky reminders of a bunch of ass hurt bumpkins who lost a war over 150 years ago and STILL can't move on.

And I think with a KUMBAYA reference pretty much states sarcasm...no need for hand holding here...unless holding hands and singing it is your thing...not judging (just sniggering a bit!)

What about arming yourself and marching to protesting the removal of one statue?

I guess if we leave the statues where they stand, suddenly white supremacists will get what they want and all races will be segregated into individual communities?

It's a real head-scratcher, isn't it?

More likely, one or more of these militias will open fire into a crowd killing dozens,wounding hundreds...leading to the immediate dismantling of the second amendment. Or trumpanzee will blame the corpses and give all Americans an assault rifle with the purchase of one of his cheap ass Chinese ties...could go either way.

It just means the time has passed in honoring those who fought for slavery.

Gen. Robert E. Lee was against confederate monuments. In refusing to sit for a statue, he wrote, “I think it wiser moreover not to keep open the sores of war, but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife & to commit to oblivion the feelings it engendered.”

He had also supported getting rid of the Confederate flag because he believed it was divisive.

Not just sarcasm, but sad and lame sarcasm.
