All your arguments have collapsed on themselves one by one by one, so now just call us SJWs. It's coo.
Of course, because you're always right. You still didn't answer the question.
LOL @ the passive aggressiveness.
They should have never existed. Am I supposed to apologize for not bitching about them in 1965 when I wasn't alive?
I didn't hear you bitch about them in 2015.
Congrats for noticing I've been 100x more active in the politics forum the past two years than ever before that.
Again, it's an honest question. You nor Seb said shit before, now you and a bunch of Ajax's are taking up arms to combat something no one gave a fuck about for years.
Dude, I don't even remember that being a discussion here, but again, I was never all that active in this section. What are you getting at?
No worries, we'll leave it. As it really wasn't about the statue anyways, as we've established.

I already made my point clear during the confederate flag thing a year or two ago.
On American issues no one cares what you think.

you're blaming a population (southern americans) for the actions of a few (white supremacists), are you not?

You continue to misrepresent my position to make it look like I'm calling every southerner with a different "perspective" on the statues to be a white supremacist. Pretty sure you understand that's not what I'm doing.
The only manner in which I lump both together is when they refuse to condemn the racists. In that case, it's fair game to say fuck 'em all. Some are evil and use this issue as an excuse to spread hate, some are ignorant due to their learnings but aren't racist. You are seeing something that is not there.

I am not. I'm blaming the non-racist southern honor defenders for not condemning and standing up to the actions of the white supremacists. This is the ONLY manner in which I have lumped the two groups together. Now I've tackled their respective ideas separately, but not ONCE did I do what you're describing.

with regard to charlottesville? as far as i know, the interest is in not having the statue removed, and probably also not being labeled as nazis or racists themselves. in which head is right, that they should be more active in proving that wrong, in standing against those fuckers. so we can agree on that point.

But why would they care if they are indifferent about the south?

You do know I am joking. I like the outward perspective (imagine that, headward!), and it's even needed in times to give Foo a kick in the ass and get him rolling.

We gotta get over this constant paralyzing fear in this section that describing the actions of a few will be interpreted as representative of the whole. We're all smart and nuanced enough to understand that's never been the case here, at least as far as I know. Nobody is saying all Muslims are terrorists. Nobody is saying all southerners are white supremacists. Nobody has said anything of the kind in this section at any point to my knowledge. Get over this idea already...

if who is indifferent? the supremacists are not indifferent, likely they do feel pride in the south. but they're fuckasses, so i don't care what they feel pride in. other southerners who are not racists, but happen to have pride in the south and in robert e lee or the like, i'm cool with.

Me too, and that's despite the fact that I find their perspective to be rooted in lies and fantasies.
But they have a social responsibility at this point as people who care about that issue to draw a line. If they don't, the distinction suddenly isn't as important.

My point is that it's a pretty weird demographic that was against slavery and the south but wants to preserve general Lee in statue form.

i'm guilty as charged, and i've seen others try to make the same distinction for one group or another, so i know it's not just me. but fair enough. i'll try to do it less often.
