All this hysteria over tearing down Confederate statues begs a question.

How does the Party that erected statues memorializing the efforts to keep slavery now get a whitewash within the sound and fury of those who want to destroy the statues?

That history is part of who we are, and tearing down those statues won’t change those facts. Is it possible the Party responsible for them wants to wash away their culpability?

Tearing down a Confederate statue doesn’t change anything, but here’s an idea…

Add an ABRAHAM LINCOLN statue to the scene…crediting him and the Union with the strength and courage to fight to emancipate the slaves, and gave freedom to all.

Slavery was a deplorable condition, but our Civil War began the change process.

And it was the first Republican president, Lincoln, who had the will and determination to fight for emancipation…so groups stridently protesting should be happy with the idea.

Funny though…

Shouldn’t groups tearing down Confederate statues for what they symbolized also be serious in fighting against a 20th Century Party symbolizing racism and segregation?

You know…the party of the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and Bull Connor tactics…

…the Democrat Party.

Why let that sad history continue?

(After all, a DEMOCRAT south championed erecting those Confederate statues!)
