Not surprising. Drive down 40 from Asheville towards Charlotte and you’ll see 3 or 4 huge confederate flags waving right next to the highway. There’s so many homes and vehicles waving it too all over the place. Folks are loud and proud down there, it’s gross.
Ironically, those that proudly fly a traitor’s flag due to their proud heritage generally also think of themselves as patriots. Just like, ironically, those that fly the Gasden flag tend to be bootlickers and also tend to be the same people.
NC is so weird. Many whites there will tell you other than ‘reverse racism’ that racism doesn’t really exist anymore all while being explicitly racist in the next sentence.
It would almost be better if it’s toppled by a large crowd of people. The people who support such a thing need to see the shitstorm they would rightfully face if they ever said it too loudly.
I know getting funding to tear it down can be difficult but hear me out, why don’t we just take out the “e” in slaves and repurpose the statue to celebrate our local Slavs by putting a track coat on it.
This would cost a lot less money to do since removing a letter is much less labor intensive than removing an entire statue.
Yep. Doesn’t even have historical significance. It’s just another of those Jim Crow statues meant to oppress black people after slavery ended. Fucking NC.
