Although overall I dont agree with the removal of statues throughout the country....if ever one needed to be removed it is one of Nathan Bedford Forrest. I am glad it is being moved to a museum and not destroyed. He was a brilliant general but the very picture of an extreme racist.
ReplyDeleteOnce you start making exceptions, exceptions become the norm. Why do you think Dr. SUESS is being taken down?
DeleteAre any of the monuments or dedications to Robert C. Byrd being taken down or placed into museums in West Virginia? If so, that's news to me.
DeleteHow long you think before it's destroyed in the museum?
DeleteWhy do you say extreme racist? The biography I read said that once he heard that the Klan (which started as any other fraternal order) was being hijacked by cross burning racists, Bedford ordered the Klan dispersed.
DeleteJust like the Swastika was hijacked and can never be redeemed, so was the Klan. But you can't call the Native Americans racists for using the Swastika before the National Socialists.
Where is there monuments to Dr. Suess? Wonderland?
ReplyDeleteJohn Gault, as I tell folks like you. in 1970 our first home was on 119th and Halstead, our second home was on 127 th and Halstead In Chicago. Take your ass there and get out of the car and stqart hugging locals, if you ain't dead in thirty seconds, you will come out a racist.
