Charlottesville protests thread
LeisureSuit912:
Last night there was a pretty big protest in Charlottesville, VA as a bunch of white nationalist / alt-right protestors basically surrounded the statue of Robert E Lee that the city voted to remove this year, carrying torches and chanting phrases like "white lives matter" and "blood and soil."

I've made my political beliefs pretty clear before but i will say that seeing some of these national socialist slogans being normalized irl.
Køtt:
why do they want the robert e lee statue removed again
if it was actual pieces of american history that people are able to learn then yeah i'd hate to see this removed.
PhantOS:
how dare they remove the statue of the greatest american hero robert e lee. remember that time when instead of freeing slaves once their old master died, he had them arrested and displaced and forced to continue their contract
thats the kind of heroism these limprichard liberals cant handle. jews will not replace us!
Deus Ex:
Why remove the statue? Seems pointless. No point trying to wash away the sins of America out of some guilt trip. I couldn't give less of a stuff about any civil war memorials for either side to be honest. It was so long ago I don't understand why either side cares.
MoltenKitten:
I don't see why statues like this need to be removed but I have no problem with it so long as they go to a museum or something instead of being destroyed
