    Instead of trying to ignore history perhaps the statue should have been put back in place but in a toppled position being dragged away by stone figures. Much more symbolic of the current times and teaching of history

    thats great
    but you see
    to be suggesting
    that we should
    be thankful
    to WJE's and christians
    for stopping their own wicked practice
    of slave plantations,
    and not the freedom fighters
    who resisted slavery from the beginning
    makes me think im on stormfront

    Slavery was part of Roman life. The rise of Christianity led to the decline of
    slavery in the Roman Empire. Later a million or so Christians were taken
    back to Africa/Arab nations as slaves.
    Saying it was "Christians" who had slaves is a tad disingenuous - many
    Christians took offense and sought to stop it, even with their own lives as
    was the case in the American Civil War.
    But you didn't answer the question, and I suspect you can't answer the
    question - what society do YOU believe epitomizes the ideal society?

    idint answer
    your
    question because you
    didnt answer
    mine which was
    why are we supposed to thank the White Jewish Europeans and WCE's for stopping their own evil practices they indulged in for 400 years?

    Don't know what a WCE is. "White Jewish" is not just racist talk but anti-Semitic as well.
    I wasn't aware Jews ever owned slaves. Certainly in Egypt, Babylon and Rome they
    were slaves themselves.
    Christian slave owners reminds of Christian rioters in America. Both are cultural Christians
    but they don't hold much respect for Christianity per se.
    As for your ideal society - you don't need to answer it because there is none. All societies
    suffer from a singular problem - human nature. True Christianity is overcoming this nature,
    something nations cannot do, only individuals.

    Yes, Jews did own slaves.

    Jewish views on slavery - Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_slavery
    • Overview
    • Post-Talmud to 1800s
    • The Exodus
    • Biblical era
    • Talmudic era
    • Modern era
    • See also
    • Notes

    Christian leaders, including Pope Gregory the Great (served 590-604), objected to Jewish ownership of Christian slaves, due to concerns about conversion to Judaism and the Talmudic mandate to circumcise slaves. The first prohibition of Jews owning Christian slaves was made by Constantine I in the 4th century. The prohibition was repeated by subsequent councils: Fourth Council of Orléans (541), Paris (633), Fourth Council of Toledo (633), the Synod of Szabolcs (1092) extended the prohibition to Hungary, Ghent (1112),

    Wouldn't be surprised. Given half a chance the native Americans could have discovered
    Europe and enslaved the white people.
    Slavery isn't a racial or national thing - it's a human thing.

    Yes, why use the word "white" ?
    In the ideal world of Martin Luther King people are know by their character.
    Not the color their skin.

    I don't agree with you that what was done was trying to ignore history. I would suggest the Statue itself was ignoring history saying nothing about the way this man who the statue describes as virtuous, came to be so 'virtuous' which was by the slave trade. I further would think that where it is going which is to the Museum where it can be part of a discussion on slavery is far more honestly dealing with history.

    The argument will, Rr, that Grant once owned a slave and his wife owned several.

    Why is there a need to "discuss" slavery? Do you demand that Japanese children
    "discuss Pearl Harbor"? Should Zulus "discuss" the genocidal Bantu invasion of
    southern Africa? What about the Indo-European invasion of Europe?
    And you can BET, any discussion of slavery won't mention Arab, African, Chinese,
    Aztec, Inca etc..slavery.
    Neo Marxism, of the Frankfurt school variety, only focus upon what can cause
    divisions in our society. Division can lead to rule.

    Neo Fascism, of the white house variety, can only focus what can cause divisions in our American society.

    Neo Marxism's key strategy is division.
    Divide, burn and rule.
    By the time of the Frankfurt School it was obvious that class divisions were not going
    to work (working class Germans were fighting working class French and Russians for
    instance.)
    So cultural divisions were identified by the School as a potential game changer. So a
    lot of the "cultural wars" in the USA are inspired by neo Marxists. The current conflict
    over "race" is a classic example.

    Who is or who isn't in the White House is irrelevant - this conflict has gone on for
    generations.

    Stephen Miller, President Trump's political philosopher of the Trump Neo-Authoritarian School, identified emphasizing class and race warfare in America as a winning strategy for the far right.

    Opposing the positivist re-evaluation of the current race discussions is a Miller tactic.

    Replacing Trump with a centric Democrat or Republican is a mandatory step in national healing.

    The Democrat party, the party of the slave trade, KKK and segregation, today exploits
    racial groups. It teaches them they are subjected to "racism" in America and only they
    can unify them and defeat "racism."
    Democrats don't appeal to those races that make it in America, like Jews, Asians and
    black groups like Indians/Pakistanis/Nigerians etc.. After the Civil War the Democrats
    won over African Americans with the New Deal - this has helped keep blacks in welfare
    dependency for generations. Democrat run cities are not pretty when it comes to racism.

    It was the neo-fascism of the no platformers and SJWs that prompted people to elect Trump in the first place.

    The Neo-Trump Authoritarian School emphasizes the big lie as illustrated above. In 2016,

    71% of Jews voted against Trump.

    Overwhelming numbers of Asians once again voted Democratic.

    Blacks voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party.

    The propaganda of lights and size and identity have always fascinated the Neo-Authoritarians of the right.

    Below is the American Nazi rally in NYC before WWII that drew many segregationists, racists, and authoritarians. Notice the halo on General Washington. Trump was talking about soldiers and heroes last night as well.
