Since the Pyramids were built by slaves, when are they being torn down?

Seriously though, why is no one on the left wanting to tear down the pyramids, they were built by slaves.

There are a few very obvious differences between pyramids and the treason statues that are the topic of conversation currently.

1. Pyramids have an ancient and extremely unique historical significance on a global scale. They are unlike anything else in the world.

2. The statues that are being removed aren't being removed and destroyed, they are being removed and placed in museums where they can be given proper historical context, and not erroneously glorified. Such a thing is not possible with pyramids because of their size and scale.

3. The argument isn't to remove everything that was built by slaves, if that was the case then our entire railroad system would need to be destroyed, which no one is arguing. The argument is simply against glorifying people who committed treason and then fought for slavery.

George Washington committed treason. And there are plenty of monuments of him. We both know this isn't about treason.

He committed treason to England, not America.

Sable
Its still treason.


George Washington committed treason against England to separate. Lee and others committed treason against America to separate.

Its not like we can say, well its less treason.

Like I said, people are coming for GW and Thomas Jefferson, like Al Sharpton. You might think I am crazy for suggesting this, but its already happening.

So why not tear the pyramids down, which was worse slavery then blacks faced.

Hundreds of years if not more of slavery.

We are talking about artifacts and statues in America, though, not England. And his treason helped lead to the founding of America. So yes, the problem isn't treason in general, it's treason of America. But I will also say that the treason part is probably less important to the people who are in favor of statue removal than the whole fighting to continue slavery thing.

As for the rest, I already explained the difference between the pyramids and the statues in question, but I will quote myself since you ignored those points -

"1. Pyramids have an ancient and extremely unique historical significance on a global scale. They are unlike anything else in the world.

2. The statues that are being removed aren't being removed and destroyed, they are being removed and placed in museums where they can be given proper historical context, and not erroneously glorified. Such a thing is not possible with pyramids because of their size and scale. "

So what if the right wanted to burn down Obama's library or any statues that come up because they considered him a racist? See where the slippery slope is?

Instead of embracing and learning from out history, people now want to destroy it.

Most of the people who want to get rid of the statues dont view America in a good light, they view it as a white supremacy culture founded on white supremacy, which is why they want to abolish parts of the constitution and our history.

I can see how they'd think Obama was just as bad, considering all the slaves he owned.

No, it's not a slippery slope. These things are being voted on democratically. If the population of Charlottesville votes in favor of moving the statue into a museum then that's what should be done. It's their city.

Again, no one is in favor of destroying anything. Well, some are, but they aren't the ones making decisions. The statues are not being destroyed, they are being moved. They will still be available for public viewing.

It is a slippery slope, Angela Rye was on CNN today saying the George Washington Monuments needs to be torn down, and the host didn't even challenge her.

Who cares what some person on CNN says? She's not the one making decisions. Just because some people hold that opinion doesn't mean there's a realistic chance of that happening.

Again, this is all being voted on in democratically sound ways.

Sable
Didn't you know the media controls the DNC narrative? If CNN didn't challenge her, or make her retract it, thats an endorsement as she is a CNN employee and a leader in the DNC. The democrats would have been out of power 40 years ago without the MSM.

So we're going to judge liberalism by its most radical adherents, like that woman in the interview? Does that mean we should judge conservatism by its James St. Patricks?

As if people know who the **** James St. Patricks is, most people didn't even know who Joe Biden or Mike Pence are. Please.

They sure as hell know who Al Sharpton is.

The pyramids have no cultural significance in the present day. The Egyptian Culture and Culture of the slaves who built them are long gone. No historical evidence exists the Jews were ever slaves in Egypt except passages in the bible written long after the time of the Pharaohs.

Whereas the statues of General Lee etc, still have American cultural relevance, both as a reminder to an ongoing culture very much alive now of how far it's come (I personally believe they should be in a museum), and as a source of pain to the descendants of oppressed slaves for obvious reasons.

Here's an Apple, here's an Orange, why don't I use the Apple for making Orange Juice?

You Sable, truly are a complete Retard. eek! laughing

According to that article she was challenged, though. Another employee of CNN challenged her.

But your conspiracy theories aside, this woman, CNN or any other news organization is not the one deciding this. It's the people in the communities who are voting on this.

Sable
A CNN contributor challenged her, in which the moderator shushed him, and let her finish, she was never challenged by the Anchor.

Why would the anchor challenge her? That's not her job.

Ultimately CNN does not matter, though. People are voting on this. This is being done democratically. Do you think people's votes should be ignored?

You can, it's irrelevant to the overall point, though. An anchor can challenge someone, they aren't required to just because you don't like the point they are making.

But in the end, it doesn't matter. Even if CNN came out and said "We believe statues of Washington should be removed" it wouldn't make a difference. CNN aren't the ones voting on it.

Sable
Ironically enough, it happened right after that Angela Rye incident. She literally told the guy to stop talking.

CNN does vote, their employees do, their liberal views and opinions sway public opinion. CNN is on at every airport and hospital across America. Swaying opinions..

Off the top of my head, I don't recall any George Washington statues in Britain. I might be wrong though.

Well sure, if CNN employees happen to live in the areas engaging in this voting then those specific employees can vote. As they should. What, do you want CNN employees to not be allowed to vote?

Like, what is your actual argument, here? That because a CNN anchor didn't challenge a contributor that means that the removal of Washington statues is imminent?

Sable
No, I am predicting a coming narrative/movement. Much as Trump is.

So if people vote to tear down George Washington Monuments, we should do it?

Surtur
I say we have an "ignore history" vote. Nationwide. If they choose to ignore it, cool. All statues get torn down. I don't care if it's of a guy who owned slaves or who loved to free slaves. You can't guarantee nobody will be offended by the statue. Bring it all down.

I am not in favor of removing the Washington monuments and think it would be foolish to do so.

But if the people of DC somehow get it on the ballot and vote in favor of it, what can you do? That's democracy.

People in DC dont get to vote on the federal government monuments alone, it would be a nation wide vote. DC isn't a democracy as they have no senators or representatives.

I see, that's interesting if true.

If that's the case then I think you have nothing to worry about. I don't think the Washington monument would ever successfully pass a nationwide vote for removal.

But again, if it did somehow pass, oh well. Obviously people would be allowed to be mad about it, but what can you do?

It is true, people in DC have no federal representation in the federal government other then nationwide votes.

No. If it did something then Trump would not be President and Neo Nazis wouldn't be planning more marches. He is, and they are.

Exodus is fiction. Jews do not even believe the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt, let alone historians. The construction of the pyramids were large-scale civic projects that involved architects, engineers, and skilled laborers.

Agreed it was a large scale civic project, this is actually proven when funds ran out and corners were cut with the Bent Pyramid at Dashur. It is likely some slave labour was used as slave labour was common in Pharaonic Egypt, though, although they were well-fed slaves as shown from the massive number of fish bones in the food hall near Giza.
