Uhoh yet another Black Person thats not black enough


One of the leaders in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) spoke out against the removal of Confederate statues, saying they are a part of history.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday at City Hall in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, local NAACP chapter president Esther Lee expressed her frustration with the current state of affairs in the U.S., WFMZ reported.
“I think it’s all senseless. All senseless,” Lee said. “You know, we’re 108 years in as NAACPers and we might think things would improve, but they do not. You know we still have this factor about black and white.”

Lee continued talking about Confederate statues, noting that it is pointless to take them down.
“You know that’s history,” Lee said. “That was in that point in time. You can’t eliminate what history is. So I disapprove with young people localpulling down those statues.”

Not for vandalism and destruction of property.

I don't think you'll find many if any here who condone vandalizing them or pulling them down.

Most people acknowledge they are a part of history. Many feel they are symbols that don't reflect the values of people today. Putting them in museums sounds like a reasonable solution.

I agree that if they are to be taken down that they should be put in museums.

I think it should be up to the local municipalities. If their citizens don't want them in their community, it's their right to remove them.

I have been reading up on this issue of 'put up after the war to honor the fallen' -vs- 'put up in the early 1900's to further racism'. In my mind, it makes a difference.
