    If you have the time and energy to complain and eventually tear down 100+ year old statues without legal repercussions you might not be all that oppressed.

    The irony of being a prothletizing Democrat while tearing down a democrat statue is just to much.

    Can’t wait until we starting burning down planned parenthood for its racist founder and problematic goals.

    A culture and society that allows this to happen on it's college campuses and public squares is a culture in decline.

    In 1919, the President of the Oregon Historical Society made a speech at the dedication that extolled the virtues of the Anglo-Saxon race. In the speech he stated, “the Anglo-Saxon race is a branch of the Teutonic race. It was and is a liberty-loving race. It believes in the protection of life and of liberty an in the rights of property and the pursuit of happiness. This race has large powers of assimilation, and its great ideas of liberty and of the rights of mankind caused other races to become a part of it, so it became a people as well as a race.”

    Sounds like an innocuous statement of brotherhood and celebration of life to me. Can’t imagine why anyone would have a problem with this.
    Yes, yes, white people can't express any pride in their race or culture.

    the African American race is a branch of the Black African race. It was and is a liberty-loving race. It believes in the protection of life and of liberty an in the rights of property and the pursuit of happiness. This race has large powers of assimilation, and its great ideas of liberty and of the rights of mankind caused other races to become a part of it, so it became a people as well as a race.

    Decline left the station 20 years ago and collapse looks to be arriving on time.

    Make sure you have a mask before boarding.
