STFU you argumentative ass. Bs about semantics because someone removed your favorite confederate statue or whatever bullshit you’re on about. Go back to parlor

Yes, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were fine outstanding confederates /s

I'm sorry my opinion is different than yours but I won't leave reddit because you have an issue

Where were statues of Jefferson or Washington removed?

You could Google that but they were removed in NYC and Portland.

I guess your not as informed as you think you are. Maybe it's your news source that's keeping you ill-informed.

I don’t really have a consistent news source and I don’t feel any kind of way about missing statue news in general. However, I assume you are a states rights guy; a local, small government guy, but you want to judge these people for making a decision as a community? Washington and Jefferson did nothing more than create a tax haven for other wealthy white men. They didn’t care about any other demographic. They weren’t heroes. They didn’t do any actual fighting. They sent poor farmers to war on their behalf and ripped off the Magna Carta.

You really should do some reading on Washington. Your view of him would change after all the sacrifices he made for this country.

Yes, Washington did do fighting and those he lead volunteered to join they were only forced when they weren't being paid by congress when they were staying the winter near Morristown, NJ.

The Statues were removed by a select few not by the masses.
