Black lawmakers say Confederate statues should come out of Capitol
By Cristina Marcos - 08/16/17 06:00 AM EDT

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are reviving calls to remove Confederate statues from the Capitol following the violence at a white nationalist rally in Virginia.

The “Unite the Right” rally of white supremacists and the subsequent clashes with counterprotesters began as a protest against the Charlottesville city council’s decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Since the rally, other localities have moved to take down Confederate statues — and some lawmakers think the Capitol should consider following suit.

Everything makes a full circle.

In the far distant future, I will be looking down (maybe up? :whistle:) smiling as the Che', Obama, and MLK statues are torn down.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Why not make it easy and just vacate all members of the Democrat party instead?

While we're at it, get rid of the visages of the KKK in Robert Byrd.

They need to remove the #1 monument to slavery and racism, the Democratic Party.

They are just removing statues of Democrat party members now.

Yet one of the Senate office buildings continues to carry the name of the Democrat who let the filibuster against the Civil Rights Act (while the other carries the name of the Republican who ended that filibuster).

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
