CayceG Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Took these pictures this morning: This happened in the park adjacent to my office in the early hours of the morning, apparently. The paint was still wet when I got down there this morning. This statue has its own wikipedia page, would you believe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_Private_Monument Erected in 1909 under lost causer-ism! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think if they had graffitied "traitors" instead of "racists" it would have more impact to the people who still support (or sympathize with) the Confederacy. Also call them losers. Because they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also call them losers. Because they were. The soldiers? Sure. But the names on the plaque were the people that financed the statue and obviously were racists. I think it makes sense. Lost causerism is a perpetuation of white supremacy, and so is defending it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I say we just put giant “Participant” medals next to every confederate monument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
