Group calls for removal of Confederate monument in Seattle

PurpleBaze

"I don't want any person - person of color, anybody, to walk by this monument and feel intimidated or oppressed," LaFevere says. "And its very existence is expressing that."

If you're going to feel intimidated or oppressed by the existence of a monument, then you should just go light yourself on fire.

Is there anyone left in this country who doesn't feel like a victim?

In any case, no one gave two shits about anything confederate until that psycho shot up 9 people in Charleston. Now, all the people who don't want to be deemed "haters" are going to show how socially conscious and caring they are. Fuck these people!

The CF is distasteful (okay, I thought it was cool when I was 17-22 and surrounded by Seattle hippies and Al Sharpton types because it pissed them off). There are a few rednecks here who fly it on their brown lawns amongst the cars on blocks or on their $25,000, 12 mpg truck they put gas in with bartered food stamp money. That said, it's their right. It ain't on private property and there are bigger issues in the world. Same goes for a cemetery with a 90 year old monument. Wgaf?

People care way too much about how someone may or may not feel. Rub some fucking dirt on it.

Blame postmodernism.

The Confederate flag is one of the greatest flags of all time IMO. Classic blending of the St. George's cross with modernist appeal.

These pussies that get offended by anything and everything probably didn't know the monument was there a month ago. Shit let keep this makes me the Seattle. That and the "we need rent control" Bullshit from that communist slurpee peddeler on the city council.

A sizeable chunk of this country spends half their time looking for new issues to channel their righteous indignation upon. I wish I could kill all of them with a jagged flint and napalm mudslide. I'd Facebook it afterwards with a crossfit t-shirt on and a sign that said #youcankeepthosegirls.

Fuck everyone.

I should start a petition to have the commie statue removed from Fremont.
