Wes Moore On Statue Removal And Remembering Historical Figures Involved In Slavery | MSNBC
Was Andrew Jackson America’s Craziest President?
Not once Russia implanted Trump in the White House…..now Trump holds this title.
Jackson destroyed the central bank for that he is a hero.
@Jeremy Backup the Russia smear has been debunked
Hey I don’t care what you take down just don’t take down any statues of me I’m not done yet
*He can put all the racist monuments in Trump Tower, if POTUS love them so much.*
@Chuncho Munoz these people don’t understand that. The teachings of today are so screwed up. Marxist bs.
@Michael Barras I am done with 2020.
How much longer do you think we can go on with citizens like this?
@Chuncho Munoz we can’t give up.
Get out and vote where your heart is.
Obama must have loved them too. Why did he do nothing? I know why Biden did nothing,he’s a racist.
@David Eby I bet you were mad you didn’t get a participation trophy….lol
The bigots got to live didn’t they. No reason to honor them.
Would you say the same about black racists?
I believe we all have a connection to God, and I believe God prompted me this morning to just let people think what they want to. It’s just hard with all this. Nobody’s perfect. ❤️
Actually, if you read and practice the word of God your heart grows.
But you can not tell an atheist that.
So, this will continue till all atheist start to believe.
You can’t claim to be anti-racist and be against the removal of statues of slave owners
Reparations? And who gets them? Recent immigrants, half black?
Yes we can, and we can accuse you of wanting to erase your own nefarious history as an example how not to educate future generations.
Cliff Wan did Martin Luther king jr own slaves? If you don’t know the answer to that then you obviously weren’t reading those textbooks
Cliff Wan that’s up for debate. The whole point of reparations is that you put together a council to figure out who gets them. Just like how they figured out who gets a $1200 check and how much gets taken off if you make over $75k/yr
Shawn Corbin literally zero history gets destroyed by removing statues. You think Germans lost their memory of hitler because there’s no statues of him?
I’m less concerned with the desecration of symbols than I am the uncanny timing of this revolution(tm). It’s a slippery slope to all kinds of mayhem. People’s heads are full of dumb ideas thanks to Hollywood. Very dark clouds over this horizon.
I get it. Good stuff going on too. https://youtu.be/-v7fGq2JtAI
wish they would tear down the statues of the carr brothers
gonna replace the statues with statues of drag queens
lol
The answer to this problem is to gather up all the Confederate statues, the complete history behind each one, along with all the Confederate history we can, put it all in a museum right next to the Holocaust museum.
Yes sir my mother’s Dallas childhood home, with her Aunt Bonnie & her Uncle Clyde. No one in her family spoke directly of these days, of the Dallas Radio bank job game show. They was Dallas folks that’s just the way it is I guess. The Bonnie he he he of pure female insanity yes Mothers family and evil Aunty. An open family secrete as far as was concerned the grand society of the shadowy bushwacker F.B.I.
Good thoughts from Mr Moore.
You can’t hide or erase your history. You have to learn from it and become better. Otherwise future generations will repeat the mistakes.
Yes Indeed

what next, is chess racist because white moves first?
If you keep tearing down statues people are going to get fed up and start tearing down ALL monuments and statues and road signs
Leave history alone
*Not “Road Signs”!!!baaaaa!!!
@So What yup all those MLk roads they have everywhere
It’s sad that trump-humping morons can’t read a history book, they have to look at statues to learn stuff.
@CShield What history book did You Read ?
@flscott I read the one that told me about slavery. Do you know anything about Hitler?
There is a very old movie titled 1776. I think it should be rereleased now. It explains the attitudes of the Founding Fathers at that time.
We shouldn’t honor traitors.
So if i feel offended by anything public i can destroy it??wow that’s great news ahahhaah
History is written by the victors
Leviticus 26:1-2
Read it!!!
I served at Fort Bragg and I can tell you I’ve seen confederate flags and Nazi flags in the barracks/soldier’s living quarters.
The genius protestors in WI tore down the statue of Col. Heg, Union officer that found slavery adhorrent. Good job you leftie loonies.Next time try googleing.
