I'll quote myself from another thread-

I hope you realize that Agent is an anomaly, an army of one.

I think, however, that your focus on healing the nation is too narrow because it doesn't account for black people. I mean, if slavery & segregation are dead, why do they have to live with public monuments raised by segregationists to celebrate people who fought to keep their ancestors in chains?

It''s only a statue. Why in hell would anybody care if it were destroyed. Just blow those suckers up. They take up valuable space.

pssst... he is a racist, so he may view someone with autism as a 'lesser'
just sayin'

The real problem is the innate fear in the white male. They really have a case of the vapors. We should study them. They may not be compatible with the new world and we made need to place them in their own ghettos.

Holy shit, are you kidding??!?! I honestly did not pay attention to that. The removal of the statue was more than warranted without that, let alone with that fact.
Oh and by the way, you literally aren't erasing a fucking thing, you cannot do that. History has been written for this particular time, the battles, the soldiers, it's all there. So maybe stops saying it's erasing history, because that's just silly.

Goddamn... it really is called Emancipation Park
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Park_(Charlottesville,_Virginia)

Indeed, history isn't erased by the removal of statues, the propaganda taught will be the same and actual history will still be up for the people to learn by other means. ;)

They renamed it emanciation park as part of that vote... And they now have General Lee as a statue in a park called emancipation park... it's kinda like having a statue of Göring at Auschwitz.

Don't try to make this about race, don't fall for their tricks and turn this into something that it's not.

This has fuck all to do with white males or any other colour of males (there are Arab Nazis too).

The fist thing people do when they are told that something they did was evil is to look for ways to prove they are superior, but sadly, as soon ass that poison settles in, one can never truly feel it's real. Thus one is condemned to a life trying to prove one's superiority at every turn. Trump, for example is the best at everything.

I think we should start doxing racists. Xellos admitted to being a racist. A little google fu is finding a lot of pertinent information. I wonder if his employer would care about employing a know racist.

Terrorist is a male thingi, not a white thingi. We created a paternalistic society because males in peace time are basically useless. It is also why we have wars. It gives men a sense of value they don't otherwise have. Women avoid assholes if they aren't economically trapped. Metrosexual are the new big thing.

Low functioning Asperger's imo...

he is an asian guy who likes to use the same handle everywhere on the internet. But he professes he is a racist. He plays final fantasy and is asian. Pretty sure the white pride movement doesnt want him. And his real name is dumb sounding.

He's on the right track. They're just statues. Sadly he sees that when people want them gone but not when they want them to stay. The time they shouldn't have mattered is when they were erected. Why put up what is just a statue. Our OP is devoid of introspection. He sees a difference when his ox gets gored and when his ox gores somebody else's ox

So what? Muslims are responsible for 94% of the terror attacks in the world, should we blame them as a group?

Why stoop to the level of the Nazis? What possible good are you expecting to come from this?

No, it's an ideological thingi, not based on gender or race.

There are terrorists among any gender, race, religion and nationality.

If we start to blame anyone for belonging to a group that terrorists come from then we are all terrorists.
