Black Lives Matter Protesters Attack Jefferson Statue At University Of Virginia

On Tuesday night in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia, which was founded by Thomas Jefferson, roughly 100 students, faculty and local residents assaulted the statue of Jefferson on the campus rotunda, covering it with a black shroud, hanging a banner on it that read “Black Lives Matter” and “F**k White Supremacy,” and holding a sign reading “Thomas Jefferson is a racist and a rapist.”

Meanwhile, the crowd chanted, “No Trump, No KKK, no racist UVa” and “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”

Trump named Jeff Sessions as his AG. The same guy who couldn't get confirmed as a Federal Judge because of his history in Alabama is now directing the DOJ.

Trump defended the tiki torch marchers who were chanting anti-semetic and anti-minority slogans. Some from WW2.

There is a school of thought that applies laws of science to politics.

This is Newton's 3rd law.

Did they tear down the statue?

Speaking of the statue "issue"...how do you know who damaged that Lincoln statue in Chicago?

You never answered that question.

I saw a clip of the white people on Fox News whining about mean 'ol liberals wanting to tear down the 9/11 monuments the way they want to tear down monuments to Confederate leaders..

because, you know, the folks on board Flight 93 were basically slave owners.

1) Did they attack the statue or just hang a banner on the statue? I guess to me the statue was not attacked if it was not vandalized, and hanging a banner on something is a pretty broad interpretation of vandalism.

2) If we started bumping all of the times you were wrong, we could probably fill the entire first page of tBin.

3) I am not now, nor will I ever be, impressed with your otherwise limited knowledge of politics and history. You are good at repeating what you hear and read elsewhere, you are good with dates and times of events, but you have the analytical capacity of a dead carp.

4) You seem #triggered over statues. It's pretty funny.

Vandals Target ‘Racist’ Star Spangled Banner Statue

Even America’s national anthem is now being attacked as racist.

A monument to the author of “The Star Spangled Banner,” Francis Scott Key, was vandalized this week in Baltimore, apparently because Key owned slaves.

The words “Racist Anthem” were written on the monument in black paint and much of the rest of the monument covered in red paint, The Baltimore Sun reported. Key wrote the Banner during the siege of Baltimore in the midst of the War of 1812.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2017-09-16, 12:10

Have you given any thought to your side not making a huge issue of fuckin confederate statues that actually creates the slippery slope?

If your white supremacist buds were like "yo, all right. Take it down." Then there's no national issue about fuckin statues.

Also it's some spray paint. Calm down Nancy.

I'm glad you've found an "issue" to spend your time with.

Really. It's awesome. Happy for you.

It would be great if you had any (or the same level of) disdain for the white supremacists in Charlottesville.

by **GRR Spartan** 2017-09-16, 13:53

You expect a Trump supporter to question their authoritarian hero?

No outrage about white guys killing Muslims in Overland Patk KS or the murders at the Sikh Temple in WI or the murder of the young man who interrupted a white supremacist while he went off on two women riding public transportation.

This. Pointing out one thing that a single person could do on their own or even a false flag vs hundreds dressed like Trump yelling blood and soul and Jews won't replace us. I'm tired of that kind of stuff. from alt right non conservatives

by **tGreenWay** 2017-09-16, 17:20

If you find yourself more upset when statues get vandalized than you do when an unarmed black man, teen, or child is shot and killed by a police officer, or when an enraged man uses his car to run over a white woman counter-protesting a white supremacist march, then it's well past time to examine your belief system.

Oh its all bullshit to justify... what exactly? Who even fucking knows. It's what makes goose a terrible fucking person though.

Hey. Goose. Guess what asshole. Your republican heros don't give a single fuck about abortion. The whole thing has been a lie the whole time to get you to vote for them. They are never going to do anything about it because without it you won't vote. Good job idiot. Fuck you though.

I don't know if Trump is a racist. I know he knows what sells. I guess I look at it this way. I'm 100% positive Trump is a coward. Flat out chicken shit pussy. Everything about him says so. How he incites others, how he tells others to rough people up, not be so nice. Sue's everybody. So I think he's to big a coward to be an actual racist. He just let's everyone else do it for him. So in a way, his cowardice saves him. He's actually got quite the racket going.

The only people he's actually shown aggression towards are women.

by **GRR Spartan** 2017-09-16, 21:26

Trump is a racist. If he and his father weren't the DOJ wouldn't have indicted his father, him and their real estate company for violation of the Federal Civil Rights statutes refusing to rent Federally subsidized housing to people of color.

Some pretty solid proof of racism in that article. Thanks for the link.

Within the FBI’s newly released documents, totaling 389 pages, are notes by law enforcement and numerous interviews with Trump Management Co. employees and management, in addition to tenants of the building.

Many of the interviewees said that they had never seen any discrimination against African-Americans or Puerto Ricans.

One tenant told FBI investigators that “it was obvious that she had not been discriminated against since she, in fact, a Negro female, had been rented an apartment” at one of the buildings owned by Trump Management Co., documents say.

Other employees and tenants offered up observations of “Negros, Puerto Ricans and Orientals” living in the buildings.

And the government settled for a consent decree....yep that's some solid proof.

Keep supporting these fools......

Why the statue-smashers will never stop

Conservatives and President Trump warned the vandalism of Confederate monuments was a slippery slope. Liberals scoffed.

Matthew Yglesias had a piece at Vox titled “The huge problem with Trump comparing Robert E. Lee to George Washington.” Writing in The Washington Post, David A. Bell decried Trump’s “moral relativism” and an NBC News story by Dartunorro Clark interviewed several historians who confidently declared Washington and Jefferson aren’t in any danger.

The differences were so obvious, we were told, that common sense would prevail. It was the triumph of hope over experience. Anyone who doesn’t line up with current progressive social mores is out. The war isn’t on history; it’s on anything that isn’t specifically leftist — now, today, subject to change tomorrow.

Example: The Cumberland County school board in Fayetteville, NC, recently canceled an environmental program that used an image of the Marquis de Lafayette in its promotional materials. Why? Because Lafayette owned slaves.

Never mind that Lafayette had purchased the slaves in order to free them or that he was an avid abolitionist who had influenced George Washington to free his own slaves upon his death.
