FREDERICK DOUGLAS statue torn down. Was it White Supremacists what dun it ?

[Cooolone]

Dude, hanging people never generates revenue or dissuade behavior.

Ummmmm, well as for the behavior part, you're quite wrong!

The effect is public execution! And it has a profound effect no matter the method of delivery! But in a "civilized" society (so called), this method of influence is regarded as too brutal or grotesque for the masses. It used to be common place for a reason!

When beheading was a popular form of execution, studies were done that showed that there was still some level of consciousness afterwards. For some 20 seconds, the eyes would respond to voice and look when the executed person's name was called.

Hahaha, a perfect world where the beheaded knew something was wrong, but just couldn't put a finger on it!!! Lmao! (Sorry, had too...)

Frederick Douglass Statue Torn Down and Vandalized in Rochester, N.Y.

Frederick Douglass - Wikipedia

This man deserves a place on our currency and coinage !

How ignorant are the WHITE COLLEGE BOYS who did this ?

I’m so glad to see that my hometown is not sitting on the sidelines, and is getting into the game. Good job!

On the issue of faces on currency, I recently learned that up until the beginning of the twentieth century there was a prohibition against putting anyone on our currency, so as not to create a cult of personality around them. I totally agree with that thinking. We need to get back to that! After all the political battles that were fought in recent years over who should be on what demoniniations, I say, NO ONE!!!

If they don't tear this one apart you know who their master is...

More appropriate if it was a Joe Biden statue.

 

[Deplorable Me]

White supremacist? But I'm not allowed to be offended when they burn the flag or tear down the historical monuments from my history?

 

[Nighttrain]

At this rate the WHITE COLLEGE CHILDREN are running out of targets.

As much as it pain me to see a statue of MLK - an American Hero - toppled, I'd like to see it happen just to disgrace those doing it.

The people responsible for this have been found and charged with this crime ?

If there is room on Mt. Rushmore for MLK, I'd like to see him there.

No Joke.

MLK simply wished for EQUALITY.

Which is my goal as well.

A color-blind society.

MLK's anachronistic views on the role of race have no place in modern america. I remember learning about him in school. Equal this, equal that. But that was decades ago. Cute. But not a model for now. The only way this country will ever get better is with increasing double-standards of how we treat race, patronizing those who are minorities, reparations, cancel culture, more derision of white people, etc. Flag burning, statue destroying, shitting on the flag, shitting on July 4th, etc. These are the path forward. What good did MLK ever do anybody? Give a 22 year old high school drop a molotov cocktail. That's how we get better.

Some debate about how long one stays conscious. Apparently at one time a guy sentenced to death told his friend to watch him because he was going to try and blink afterward so they could attempt to gauge how long consciousness is there for. Seemed like it's probably just several seconds. A very horrific several seconds I presume.

Now as for this statue my money is on either people who have no idea who the guy was, or a "false flag" by some more crazy lefties trying to pin blame on nonexistent white supremacists.

Really? Do you know all of this mans history?

Don't care.

Picking and choosing is for the LEFT.

I admire Washington, Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, MLK, JFK and many more.

All were human; all had flaws.

But their contributions left this Nation the better for their efforts.

That's my criteria right there.

Nonsense.

The USA has the strongest laws in the History of Mankind, that serve to prevent institutionalized racism.

Sadly, we have been corrupted, and these days we "Pick and Choose" whether we enforce those laws or not.

Some obvious problems:

"Affirmative Action" is Racism.

"Sanctuary Cities" are clearly illegal.

"Admission Quotas" that create "Diversity" are Racist and Sexist.

But all this can be fixed if we re-elect Trump and get another Constitutional Judge or two appointed to SCOTUS.

Just to be clear my entire post was tongue in cheek. I fear we'd need another 20 years to do a complete purge of the court due to age attrition. Then at least we'd only have RBG left from the left.

Of course affirmative action is racist. It's fucking outrageous actually. If Asians (who are negatively impacted by it as well), appealed to how it is racist against them (as it is), maybe courts would let it change.
