    Well, that's why we have museums.

    I've never been a fan of protection for hate speech and deliberate misstatement of fact.

    They were slaves. They were by definition subservient (except "subservient" probably is too weak of an adjective.)

    This is madness.

    Can we keep Che? He's so coooooool!

    Not to Lincoln tho. It also fails to acknowledge the work and sacrifice that blacks undertook to gain their freedom and makes it appear that Lincoln was their savior. That's not to say he doesn't deserve the credit he gets, but it also doesn't mean the depiction in that statue is accurate and "offensive".

    Not if it’s formally deemed extremist.....the military is way ahead of the civilian world in this area

    Nor I, but surely you realize the problems with outlawing symbols. There won't be many left by the time the process is finished.

    Edit: On second thought, I absolutely would positively support tightening the First Amendment so that it doesn't protect hate speech and symbols, if we can talk about the Second Amendment at the same time. That I would do.

    You got more than even in the ensuing World Cup game, darn it.

    Also, and you may quote me, if Donald Trump starts a war with Iran we will lose.

    As in, ceding territory on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, lose.

    My prediction if there is an actual war between the US and Iran, no matter who is the president: both sides will lose.

    I mean lose like Covid-19, "maximum pressure" sanctions, and "gasoline protests", were the 'good ole days' kind of loss. Lose like Covid-19 was just the flu, the Great Depression was just a recession, George Floyd protests were peaceful times, and maybe "orange man" wasn't all bad after all, type of loss.

    That should bolster the C.V. of a few right wing hacks who haven't written their required "Political Correctness Has Gone Too Far" article this month.

    So glad this is being discussed here. The mod in the Portuguese forum sadly seems to be against black lives matter as he won’t allow an open discussion advocating black lives matter. There were a few ignorant posters that myself and a few others were trying to educate. So glad to see many others here support blm

    I have joined the protestors a few times already. Met many great people

    I stuck my head in there a couple days ago and saw the nonsense that mod was posting. So, welcome.
