Erasing history for racial and political gain. Hitler was good at that.

If we removed everything that offends people, there would be nothing and no one left.

It's part of history. Removing it does not mean it didn't happen. Grow up people and stop trying to change the past, you can not do it.

True, who is leading this movement? Whoever it is thinks very differently about their ancestors and history. I can’t believe that people of government are allowing this kind of thing to happen. The answer to the problem is not in a statue.

The idea of removing a statue is stupid. The Confederacy is a part of our history, and if we erase a part of it, then we're more likely to repeat it. People get offended too easily and need to suck it up and not be offended by inanimate objects or what they stand for.

how about using the statue as a teaching moment? Trying to erase the visual reminders of our actual past changes nothing. I see this as another example of one group trying to control the narrative to silence people who don't see things the same way.

No its wrong to do so. Because it's part of our history how states evolved. If your gonna get rid of the statues then you need to rewrite the history books . Teachers teach it in schools are they gonna start not teaching bout slavery? If you remove the statues then you might as well remove all .

RFK jr. is a Democrat. Never forget that. He is a bad choice.

You know he is the right pick, when the woke left immediately starts fabricating any dirt they can dream up of about him. Not anything new from them.

Nothing fabricated. His friend Joel Greenberg got 11 years for it. The DOJ decided not to proceed on Gaetz, but the House Ethics Committee was still moving forward. He resigned days before the report was to be released and since he is no longer a congressman he is no longer under their jurisdiction.

It's necessary considering the mandate Trump was given by the country.

No I do not like the fact our convicted felon and sexual predator president elect picked Matt Gaetz. I'm not surprised he chose someone who is under investigation for sex with a minor though. This is perfectly on brand for this administration.

He is the equivalent of the Merrick B. Garland, only politically on the Right.
