Why honor Confederate history over that of say, Mary Bowser and Elizabeth Van Lew? I bet dollars to donuts you have no idea who those people are. Richmonders! Wonder why you care so much about people who believed in the ethics of chattel slavery but most people don’t even know those names? gee, it’s almost like people publicly supporting racism and a wrong view of “history” have an agenda when they chose who gets statues in the middle of city vs. who gets relegated to one sentence (if that) in history books, the ones you’re trying so hard to change to avoid learning actual American history. Like how about the people who lived here thousands of years before we colonized, stole their land? Where are their statues? Where’s their presence at all? Oh that’s right — annihilated.

Sorry the celebration of slavery is something you’ll have to do in private now instead of watching the city do it.

They don’t have Nazi statues in Germany.

A big Van Lew Monument in Church Hill would be awesome!

Every time I see someone call someone a snowflake it’s usually after they have complained over something silly, the irony here is you’re the snowflake that can’t move on.

Your team lost snowflake get over it.
