UNC Silent Sam statue toppled

This may be tough, but try to picture yourself as a person of color who had ancestors who were slaves. How would you feel about an old statue designed to HONOR the people who fought to keep your ancestors as their property?

Or imagine yourself as a Jew looking up at a statue honoring Adolph Hitler?

Or imagine how YOU would feel staring up at a big, shiny new statue of Scott Frost outside of Spectrum stadium?

Is it finally starting to sink in? :)
Yes, I'm starting to feel like you think you have a right to not be offended.

This may be tough...think of it this way........you are a native American and white guy annihilated you BUT...you still get to look at their faces on currency and sacred mountains...and be reminded of them by names of states and cities and wharfs....

Is it sinking in yet?
 
Situational morality and ethics are awesome.

Yessirreee, especially when blowhards protest that their "right" to publicly express their racist and homophobic views and to discriminate accordingly are infringed upon.

Why can't those crazy liberal protesters leave our 'historical' statues alone for crying out loud!!?!?!?

So now you're asserting that white wealthy liberal kids (you know, the people who took this statue down) have a right to vandalism and destruction of public property, if they determine that they're sufficiently offended enough to warrant their actions?

Good to know!

Very insightful of you to pick up that this issue is really all about vandalism! :)
