The Statue’s of Limitations
You know what I didn’t know until recently, that most of these confederate statues weren’t put into place until the Civil Rights Movement started!
It was the counter narrative to Black people standing up for rights in this country that spawned the open hatred that those monuments stand for. It was basically, “oh you niggers think you have rights in this country, well we’ll show you”!
That’s what happened right after slavery, through the reconstruction period, through us fighting in two world wars for this country, through our fight for Civil Rights, all the way up to after Barack Obama was elected as the First Black Man to become the president of the US. Y’all are in your, “I’ll show these niggers stage again”!
Let’s be real, if you know anything about the Black history of this country from 1865 to today, then it’s the same patterns being repeated. The losers of the Civil War have literally been trying to reclaim the US as a white mans (the slave masters) country!
Every time we make progress as Black people, racist white people try to find a way to reverse that progress, it hasn’t failed one time since then. We take 10 steps forward, y’all attempt to push us 100 steps back!
So if your narrative today is that these monuments are a part of your heritage, then you willfully admit that your heritage is tied to the racial terrorism that these men stood for, and if you believe that we’re infringing on your Civil Rights by demanding that they be taken down, touché!
