What, are fap jokes off limits? I thought we were free speech advocates here.

So this first step to 'acknowledging the legacy of white supremacism' and affecting meaningful change is to tear down century old statues?

No it doesn't end, but what good do they do.
Seems in the past week we have seen how divisive they are -- what good is that ?

Speeeeaking of Proud Boys, looks like Kyle "Based Stickman" Chapman is gonna go to jail. I'm sure he'll have plenty of time to hone the western chauvinist dialectic in there.
It just proves the old maxim that that those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and those with priors shouldn't hit people with weighted sticks. Nor should they taunt the DA bringing charges against them.
I shouldn't make light of him, since he's one of the good guys, right?

Where was this huge outrage 1 year ago? 10 years ago? This is a manifestation of the alt left trying to further divide the people. A divided people are easier to steal from.
There actually are parts of the Berlin Wall still standing. And it's largely for historical reasons.
Sorry if that shatters your argument.
Somebody tried to bring up a Berlin Wall parallel earlier and I meant to respond to it.
The wall is still up in many places in East Berlin. Pieces of it are in museums all over the world. There's a portion at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA. I saw another one randomly at a mall in Montreal a few months ago.
In Berlin, there's a huge museum called Topographie des Terrors located in an area of the city where many Nazi Government buildings once stood. The wall at this location is preserved as it stood originally. Elsewhere in East Berlin there are portions of the wall standing that artists have painted/graffitied with messages of peace and hope.
Germans aren't afraid of their history.

It was there andhas been there. Go back a year ago to New Orleans.
Go back to Charleston SC shootings
Go beck to when I would guess most all of these statues were erected -- there have been detractors since day one.
Ever heard of Arthur Ashe ?
Read his thoughts on the Richmond boulevard (forget the name)
Ashe has been dead for close to 20 years if not more
So yeh, there has been outrage -- you just never heard it. For whatever reason
Just like the majority of posters here never heard of antifa until last saturday

Yes, I brought it up, precisely in contrast to the way it is presented versus how Confederate monuments are presented.

So the statue of Divine is actually Robert E Lee in drag ?
Are you suggesting people can grafitti bomb these erections ?
Well, what has been done in Berlin is tasteful.
I would absolutely support the same type of approach here.
