A lot of those confederate statues got built in the 1950s and 1960s during the Civil rights movement.

Defending slavery for 2 years and getting absolutely fucked is heritage? It's easier to just say you really hate brown people.
Clubbing and killing off competing tribes while rubbing bodily fluids all over me is part of my heritage.
the only thing i regret about my family not coming to america until the 1930s is that we didn't get to partake in confederate scum extermination.
There's still plenty of Confederate cosplayers, just go anywhere somewhat rural and you'll find them.

Alright, but hear me out. There is one that we shouldn't destroy simply because of how funny it is.
Which one is that? Am Canadian and confused
Yall need to pay reparations
The Confederate States definitely. But also all of the US.
Great short video [4 minutes] about it from Trevor Noah: https://youtu.be/RjTu1NmQLP8
The whole country, there's also the whole indigenous genocide thing we did and continue to do
Plus yanno, stealing Texas from Mexico.
I’m ok if we want to just give Texas back to Mexico. Will solve lots of issues.
just texas?
No, not just Texas.
I grew up in Fairfield County, Ohio. We were told in school that if we ever went to Georgia we should say we were from somewhere else.
Where I come from we don't just "stand up" to racist, we burn your shit down.
Why would you say that? I'm confused
Which part?
saying that you were from somewhere else. does that mean saying you weren't from the us or saying you weren't from georgia? and also, why?
A guy from ( Fairfield County) burned down the state of Georgia during the civil war. Sacked Atlanta, and kept going.
So, check out that fruit guy who replied, he's from Georgia and got all pissy because in Fairfield City ( Butler County, a good distance from Fairfield County) there's a Jungle Jim's and they banned pitbulls, but really that's just a mask for him to wear to be racist.
Oh, it's illiterate...
What?
Ohio has been having some issues lately though.
