He's right, though- we shouldn't lose our "history"... [View all]

So I'm thinking about starting a GoFundMe for the "Museum of Racist Traitor Losers."

We can put all the statues and plaques and flags and other shit commemorating the episode of a small elite of southern oligarchs convincing a whole lot of other southerners to commit treason in the name of racism, and then getting their asses whupped at the cost of more than 600,000 lives.

It IS important to remember history, after all.

helpfully,
Bright

There's at least 3 Confederate museums already: 1 in Charleston, 1 in sinkingfeeling Aug 2017 #10

This wouldn't be a Confederate museum, though. TygrBright Aug 2017 #11

I stand corrected. Maybe we could just change the names on the sinkingfeeling Aug 2017 #12

The Union Army was about twice the size of the traitors' army, so probably so. n/t TygrBright Aug 2017 #14
