Indeed and slavery is wrong and I can see why people wouldn't like it. But then technically, statues of any slave owners should be wrong. It doesn't matter if they ended up dying before the Civil War happened.

Moving on:

This NFL player called out his colleagues’ social justice stances as ‘a marketing tool’

It's nice to see a NFL player tell it like it is. The whole Colin K thing was never about racism.

Eh.. Nah you're indulging the slippery slope too much. This goes back to the idea of taking the mans legacy as a whole. When the man's legacy is fighting on the side of the rebels who wanted to keep slavery around... that's a different statue then one of a Founding Father who's main legacy was helping to instill democracy in the United States but he also happened to own slaves.

So when they whine about wanting to bring down Jefferson statues....? Or about places named after Warren G Harding....?

Hell last year even statues of Teddy Roosevelt triggered some of them.

At least he wasn't made aware of the gains NK was making in nuclear technology years ago, and at least he didn't gut our missile defense system.

... I'm sort of unsure what the question is, since I already addressed that.

I'm asking where that logic of "take the legacy as a whole" is when those folk do that.

Or I guess I could say: I wish those folk were capable of the logic you apply to it. Sadly, they are not.

Yea, I heard about some of those controversies a while back through some Vice news video. It is a sort of troubling precedent.

Well damn, I'm happy to be wrong, they did actually do something:

Protester who climbed atop Confederate statue and helped pull it down arrested; two others cuffed

One of those arrested is black though. I wonder if people will say it's racist to arrest her...

all this whining over right wing terrorism/murder, but nobody wants to take time to mourn the poor statues. :'(

Alt-right is ‘America’s version of ISIS’ and ‘just as horrifying,’ newspaper editorial declares

Not clicking TheBlaze. But Islamic extremist have praised Hitler for his 'death to all Jews' policy. But sure, White Supremacist are different cos reasons.

isis murders innocent people in terrorist attacks because of their ideology.
nazis murder innocent people in terrorist attacks because of their ideology.

fair comparrison 👆

There is of course a pretty crucial difference. ISIS have an actual territory they rule over as a de facto state. The Alt-right are brown shirts... ISIS is the 3rd Reich.

nah. ISIS simply accomplished their goals more effectively, but their goals are essentially the same.

well, if that's the way you look at it then i would say the two regimes differ wildly in terms of war crimes and the treatment of their citizens, and ISIS is much worse.
