Pai am zis deja de aia care au doborat statuia ca sunt niste idioti contra-productivi. Statuile sunt alta discutie, care asta ar trebui sa fie, dialog pana se gaseste solutia despre ce ar trebui facut cu ele.
Pt unii reprezinta amintiri dureroase. Pt altii un simbol tacit ca "inca tot noi suntem stapani".
Ma rog, treaba lor.
Sigur, asa au zis si aia de la Hudson Bay de au dat jos placheta cu Jefferson Davis din Montreal. Probabil se simt lezati quebonii de un owner de sclavi de acum 200 de ani...
http://abcnews.go.com/International/canadian-retailer-removes-confederate-plaque-montreal-flagship/story?id=49265136Sau dragutii tai de la WP care rescriu istoria cu tot felul de imbecili pe post de mari surse de prestigiu in domeniu. Brusc razboiul South vs North ori Confederation vs Union a fost doar despre sclavi, WTF!
www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/08/16/historians-no-mr-president-washington-and-jefferson-are-not-the-same-as-confederate-generals/?utm_term=.d1d60db888ee#commentsMisto comentariul de la un norvegian: "...Confederacy, which existed for one reason, and that was to protect the right of people to own other people.” and "...which was founded on the premise of slavery forevermore.” -it doesnt take much being a historian these days apparently. Hadnt there been no Mirrill tariff, there wouldve been no war. If slavery was the sole reason, well, then the south would be better off staying within the union. With 15 states who had the institution of slavery, it was more than well protected by the constitution. ( i cant belive that I as a Norwegian have to lecture Americans about their own history and political system...) To outlaw slavery, it would've taken a 2/3 majority in both houses and a 3/4 majority among the states in the union to ratify such an amendmend. -which would take a total of 60 states to pass such an amendmend.
Sa le spuna careva si boaitelor de la WP ca Lincoln nu a dus razboiul pt. a pune capat sclaviei, ci pt. a pastra Uniunea.
Lincoln Letter to Horace Greeley:
"...My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, ..."
Dar deh, Trump este rasist ca a zis ca toti au dreptul sa protesteze pasnic, si daca sunt suporteri pt. statuia lui Lee, este OK, vin, isi spun pasul si pleaca acasa linistiti.
