More than 50% of Americans oppose removing public statues dedicated to Confederate generals, according to a Washington Post/ABC poll published Monday.
The poll showed 80% of Republicans and 56% of independents oppose removing such monuments, while 74% of Democrats support ridding the country of statues commemorating the Confederacy. Nearly 60% of white people oppose their removal, as do about half of Hispanic people, the poll found.

Interesting. Seems the dems deplore their history.
ReplyDeleteThere was a demonstration against removing a Confederate memorial statue in McDonough GA (a little South of where I grew up and lived most of my life) last night. At one point a female reporter for a TV station in Macon (farther South) told viewers during a live report that the crowd had been chanting "Black lives don't matter!" and "Black lives suck!"
ReplyDeleteOf course it isn't true. I know people who were there. The upside is one of the protesters heard the reporter and on-air shouted that she was a liar and was broadcasting fake news. I bet her interjections don't make it into any snippets of the report that get bandied around the interwebz as proof of "systemic racism" and "white supremacists".
