These are not white monuments. They're Confederate monuments. They were erected to honor traitors that waged war against the United States and killed far more whites than blacks. The rebels killed more white Americans than Communist forces in fact.

Lee himself warned Southerners not to idealize symbols of the war. That their indignity is now coming at the hands of a bunch of nigs is kind of amusing if you really want to be honest about it.

Should've never been put up in the first place.

US military bases named after rebel officers pisses me off too.

It's not just Confederate monuments. There's a slow push towards monuments of figures about as far removed from the Confederacy as you can get within the white culture/west history.

It's a push against ALL monuments of white people, or erected by white people.

And if you notice such moves typically have a lot less traction. Even Southern racists per se are safe. No one is going to tear down the Washington monument and Jefferson memorial. If they ever try it should be resisted by force of necessary.

The Confederacy though has always been a bad cause. All the way back to the 1860s.

The south was the good side.
