Y up read history you are obviously spoon fed bullshit. History is history and obviously you can’t learn from it and make society better you just want to cry and destroy stuff how liberal
You know what. You are wrong, it doesn’t make sense to me. Almost every flag has a dark side. Even yours abs mine, for example my flag is from the Netherlands, my flag has been a part of the WIC and the VOC, trading for slaves, my flag is still the same. Almost. The American flag has been in her time of expending west. Killed millions and millions of native Americans. Britain was the largest colonie and in that time had millions of slaves by expanding territory every where, British flag is stil the same. The Belgium flag has killed something between 15 million slaves during the congo. Belgium flag didn’t change and is still being seen as a national flag, I can go on and on about all these flags. At end of the day, flags and nations have always done something bad. Every one of them. So i think if we just live like this respecting also our flags that in that time also thought like the confederate states of America that black people where unworthy. Then the southern people of America can also respect their confederate flag, because if that flag shows hate and racism. Then you are also a racist. And me and the black activists protesting. Then we can call the human a racist. Black, yellow, white, etc. I hope you think good about that this whole situation about a flag is not important. As well also for statues
@@businessman3224 1. These are statues of fallen people we don't want to respect. 2. You make a convincing argument for everyone to change flags. One stupid action does not justify another... 3. Statues are made to celebrate people, do you celebrate racism? Would you appreciate a statue of a pedophile in your city? So that when people find to your city they can see how your people celebrate pedophilia? 4. If the history is so important to you, put these statue in a "Museum of racists". Furthermore, the vast vast majority of these statue were built waaaay after the civil war, so they're not half as historical as you think.
I am a black female my car ran out of gas on the expressway white guy pulls up in his car the car had Confederate stickers all over the car and on his jacket and on his hat the guy took me to the gas station and I bought a gas container he put gas inside of it took me back to my car put the gas in my car and he made sure that I got back on the road safe and when I offered he didn't want it anything
There was a time when signs said no blacks no dogs no irish, iam irish and you know what we did we got the fuck over it, these brave men didn.t care about slavery the same as a lot of federal troops didn.t give a damn about it either
I wonder why we don't have statues of Hitler and other German Nazi "Heroes" from WW 2 in Germany today? After all it's part of their 'heritage', just as the anti-American rebels who fought to insure that slavery would continue in the south. I have no problem whatsoever with those statues coming down. Why are you so obsessed with them remaining? Do you know why they were erected in the first place?
Stop comparing it to nazis. Nazis were a political party, not representing every single German citizen. The Germans' flag of heritage ALWAYS was the black, red, and yellow flag. I support the statues staying up. Bite me. No one cared about the statues for 150 years, why do you guys care about it now? Doesn't make sense
@Jaime Granado, I've never understood why people claim it's erasing history. No, it's: not *honoring* people who fought to keep a whole group of people enslaved. The statues can be put in museums, we have history books, we have videos, we have art, we have documentaries etc.; there are so many things that can keep the history alive without honoring them by leaving statues of what they represent in the middle of a nation.
1:32 "We're taking pride in our heritage". Hate to break it to you sir, but you're allowed to think your relative was a POS. If I was related to Hitler, you think I'm gonna want to "honour" him? Tf is the matter with these people...

I am only 13 but I know way more about the Confederacy than people who are way older than me. This is heritage these statues are not racist. I'm very supportive and I take part of SCV, and UDC meetings and activities I also participate in civil war reenactments. My ancestors were slave owners but in all of the letters and artifacts I have they treated them as family. Confederate armies would mostly fight under their state flag, the Confederate flag is not racist. Most people think that the monuments were put up during the Jim Crow Era which they were but they were not put up to be racist the Confederate veterans were dying out and the south wanted them to be remembered and honored. Also when freed during the civil war alot of slaves chose and also volunteered to fight for the Confederacy. Remember if your family is from any of the 11 Confederate states or the 2 border states even if you are black or white your ancestors probably fought in the Confederacy.

I am probably going to get hate for this, but I think that some should stay up, specifically those that honor the dead. Yes they died to a corrupt cause but when you think about the times, they really didn't know better. Its what they grew up with and its all they knew. Its the argument of "can you blame a solder for following orders?" Doesn't mean that its right but rather people are applying 21st century values during a time were sadly most of those values didn't exist. Im not condoning the actions of racist people just stating what I see. People seem to forget that you can't apply the same mindset of current time to history. The values were different, the times were different, even morals were different and both parties are guilty of it in some way. Rather than destroy and forget, remember that painful history and be happy that its no longer the world people live in, that we are better than our ancestors. We can make a change by looking to the past and making sure we don't make the same mistakes in the future. Disagree or agree with me its your choice, Im just putting my opinion out there.
"when you think about the times, they really didn't know better" Do you assume abolitionists appeared out of thin air after the Civil War and were the first ones to realize that dehumanizing people of color, slaughtering them wholesale, torturing them and their families, and owning them as property is bad? Because there were plenty of people at the time who knew better. They're the reason Lincoln won.
Then here's to our Confederacy Strong we are and Brave ... Like Patriots of old we'll fight, our Heritage to save........ Hurrah for Southern rights....... hurrah . GOD bless the Confederacy. Howdy from Dallas.

Time for reminder how can it be a painful reminder when you weren't there think before you say things she won't Robert E Lee took him down what's next you want George Washington took him down then you won't Abraham Lincoln taken down
I agree. When the Confederacy owned humans as slaves, tried to enforce pro-slavery laws on escaped slaves in non-slaveholding states, and forced Confederate states to keep slavery legal, it was then truly pathetic for them to portray themselves as fighting for "states' rights" and "heritage" rather than seditious losers and racists. They tried to force acceptance of slavery on the US, and now they try to pretend that these statues are their "culture". It is truly ignorant, appalling, and disappointing. Thank you for highlighting it.
@@Ben00000 Yep, slavery was wrong, but when will you be satisfied? The south lost and slaves were freed. In 1964 they had the Civil Rights Act which ended Jim Crow laws. Human history is not perfect, nor will it ever be. Take down all those Confederate memorials but it doesn't change history. What will be next thing that offends you? Probably George Washington and Thomas Jefferson who had slaves. Better take down the Washington monument too. Those statues and memorials honor the bravery of those who fought for their homes and families and nothing more. Always looking for something to be offended about. Are you offended at the murder of the unborn? Over 60 million babies ripped apart in their mother's womb since Roe vs. Wade in 73 and it still continues today, but slavery ended 157 years ago. What about all the black on black crime that has killed thousands and continues today? For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rom. 3:23
@@horseman528 Hmm, you offer a lot of interesting distractions from the crimes perpetuated by the Confederates, but I think my point still stands. When it comes to the topic of the video, Confederate statues, I don’t lose sleep at night knowing we have fewer monuments to people who killed US troops over their proclaimed “right” to own humans as property. You typed an awful lot of finger-pointing and outrage for someone so eager to accuse others of “victimhood” and “being offended”.
@@Ben00000 Facts are facts. I didn't make them up. The point is you zero in on one group of people while completely ignoring the wrongs of the others. There's none righteous, no not one so get off your name calling and high horse. Go back far enough in your own history, you'll find people who owned slaves. Fact is that every race, ethnicity, and nation has had slavery at one time or the other. Doesn't make it right, its just a fact. We all need to see history for what it was and not try to erase everything that offends us. Otherwise you learn nothing but how to manipulate and control others through pc and thought policing which is a form of slavery in itself. I don't go around insisting that others take down everything that offends me. I just give them their right to express themselves as they wish since they are accountable for what they believe.
@@horseman528 Calling political correctness a "form of slavery" in a conversation about _actual_ slavery is the _epitome_ of you "loving your victimhood". Two comments in a row spent trying to focus on anybody _except_ the Confederates is the height of "being offended". Pointing the finger at numerous other atrocities to avoid talking about the Confederacy, the subject of the video we're commenting under, which seceded to keep black people enslaved, and killed US soldiers en masse to do so, is the pinnacle of being anti-American.
treason? confederate troops were treated as enemy combattents! every one knew statues could leave the union- it was even taught at westpoint ...lincoln lied and manipulated for the corporate elites... he was the first president to call the country a nation! jan 20 state of the union address by the president...not nation!
All the people that were protesting saying the statues ago they make zero sense saying at the end of the day I would be nothing well sorry those people are important part of our history and our pass you want to grow up and not have your kids know about what happened in America
Why do you want to destroy southern ethnicity? Why do you support cultural genocide and ethnic cleansing? This is pretty hateful. Ethnic groups share a common set of traditions, ancestry, language, history, society, culture, nation, religion. Taking down monuments of a ethnic group like southerners who share a common ancestry is a crime against humanity according to the United Nations
This isn’t southern ethnicity, this is hate These statues weren’t put up to honor any heritage, they were put up to honor shitty people And even if it is about heritage, then it’s a heritage of hate
sandinyourshoes because they are US veterans by federal law 85-425 section 410 passed in 1957 oh and fun fact there’s confederate war dead buried at Arlington Natl Cemetary which is for US veterans

This is just so dumb this is history were talking about my ancestor may have fought for the north but I do not hate those who fought for the South and the South was not fighting to keep their slaves and if other people say that the South fought to keep their slaves then they are wrong
He’s right would you take down a us soldier statue also would you stomp of the us flag all veterans need to be honored because they fought for this country
Bro what confederate soldiers did not fights for this country they literally fought against it
Jesus loves everyone. The end is here. Ask Him into your life. Cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness. Make Him your Lord and your Savior. One day, YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Bestie this has nothing to do with the video 🧍
It's just a statue it are history.
I bet you’re white saying that
I am probably going to get hate for this, but I think that some should stay up, specifically those that honor the dead. Yes they died to a corrupt cause but when you think about the times, they really didn't know better. Its what they grew up with and its all they knew. Its the argument of "can you blame a solder for following orders?" Doesn't mean that its right but rather people are applying 21st century values during a time were sadly most of those values didn't exist.
Im not condoning the actions of racist people just stating what I see. People seem to forget that you can't apply the same mindset of current time to history. The values were different, the times were different, even morals were different and both parties are guilty of it in some way. Rather than destroy and forget, remember that painful history and be happy that its no longer the world people live in, that we are better than our ancestors. We can make a change by looking to the past and making sure we don't make the same mistakes in the future.
Disagree or agree with me its your choice, Im just putting my opinion out there.
"when you think about the times, they really didn't know better"
Do you assume abolitionists appeared out of thin air after the Civil War and were the first ones to realize that dehumanizing people of color, slaughtering them wholesale, torturing them and their families, and owning them as property is bad? Because there were plenty of people at the time who knew better. They're the reason Lincoln won.
Then here's to our Confederacy Strong we are and Brave ...
Like Patriots of old we'll fight, our Heritage to save........
Hurrah for Southern rights....... hurrah .
GOD bless the Confederacy.
Howdy from Dallas.
"Heritage OF Hate!"
And continue to lose just like your ancestors
Howdy 🤠

If you can see it for yourself.....you might tell the truth.....
I am a black rebel guy that supports the conderfate flag and I supports it all the way home straight facts and I totally love the conderfate flag and that is straight facts and I will die a black rebel guy straight facts 💯
Time for reminder how can it be a painful reminder when you weren't there think before you say things she won't Robert E Lee took him down what's next you want George Washington took him down then you won't Abraham Lincoln taken down
Sounds good to me. Germany took down all nazi symbols after the war. This is no different.
@@mysticheathen3455 yah it is
Its amazing how one group can tell all the other groups what is acceptable and what is not. They love their victimhood.
I agree. When the Confederacy owned humans as slaves, tried to enforce pro-slavery laws on escaped slaves in non-slaveholding states, and forced Confederate states to keep slavery legal, it was then truly pathetic for them to portray themselves as fighting for "states' rights" and "heritage" rather than seditious losers and racists. They tried to force acceptance of slavery on the US, and now they try to pretend that these statues are their "culture". It is truly ignorant, appalling, and disappointing. Thank you for highlighting it.
@@Ben00000 Yep, slavery was wrong, but when will you be satisfied? The south lost and slaves were freed. In 1964 they had the Civil Rights Act which ended Jim Crow laws. Human history is not perfect, nor will it ever be. Take down all those Confederate memorials but it doesn't change history. What will be next thing that offends you? Probably George Washington and Thomas Jefferson who had slaves. Better take down the Washington monument too. Those statues and memorials honor the bravery of those who fought for their homes and families and nothing more. Always looking for something to be offended about. Are you offended at the murder of the unborn? Over 60 million babies ripped apart in their mother's womb since Roe vs. Wade in 73 and it still continues today, but slavery ended 157 years ago. What about all the black on black crime that has killed thousands and continues today? For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rom. 3:23
@@horseman528 Hmm, you offer a lot of interesting distractions from the crimes perpetuated by the Confederates, but I think my point still stands. When it comes to the topic of the video, Confederate statues, I don’t lose sleep at night knowing we have fewer monuments to people who killed US troops over their proclaimed “right” to own humans as property. You typed an awful lot of finger-pointing and outrage for someone so eager to accuse others of “victimhood” and “being offended”.
@@Ben00000 Facts are facts. I didn't make them up. The point is you zero in on one group of people while completely ignoring the wrongs of the others. There's none righteous, no not one so get off your name calling and high horse. Go back far enough in your own history, you'll find people who owned slaves. Fact is that every race, ethnicity, and nation has had slavery at one time or the other. Doesn't make it right, its just a fact. We all need to see history for what it was and not try to erase everything that offends us. Otherwise you learn nothing but how to manipulate and control others through pc and thought policing which is a form of slavery in itself. I don't go around insisting that others take down everything that offends me. I just give them their right to express themselves as they wish since they are accountable for what they believe.
@@horseman528 Calling political correctness a "form of slavery" in a conversation about _actual_ slavery is the _epitome_ of you "loving your victimhood". Two comments in a row spent trying to focus on anybody _except_ the Confederates is the height of "being offended". Pointing the finger at numerous other atrocities to avoid talking about the Confederacy, the subject of the video we're commenting under, which seceded to keep black people enslaved, and killed US soldiers en masse to do so, is the pinnacle of being anti-American.
treason? confederate troops were treated as enemy combattents! every one knew statues could leave the union- it was even taught at westpoint ...lincoln lied and manipulated for the corporate elites... he was the first president to call the country a nation! jan 20 state of the union address by the president...not nation!
Why don't you southern traitors leave now? And get your own military and pay for your own stuff? South biggest takers to this day.
After removing the statues of confederate soldiers, remove the statue of Martin Luther King, Jr.
All the people that were protesting saying the statues ago they make zero sense saying at the end of the day I would be nothing well sorry those people are important part of our history and our pass you want to grow up and not have your kids know about what happened in America
whats next? the founding fathers?
You see the difference is THOSE ARENT THE FOUNDING FATHERS. Though they weren’t so great either
This is what happens when you cave to a younger generation .
Ben Wyatt 0:45?
Honoring Their ancestors
Who knowingly fought to preserve slavery
Stop takeing are history
People like you already did
Why do you want to destroy southern ethnicity? Why do you support cultural genocide and ethnic cleansing? This is pretty hateful. Ethnic groups share a common set of traditions, ancestry, language, history, society, culture, nation, religion. Taking down monuments of a ethnic group like southerners who share a common ancestry is a crime against humanity according to the United Nations
This isn’t southern ethnicity, this is hate
These statues weren’t put up to honor any heritage, they were put up to honor shitty people
And even if it is about heritage, then it’s a heritage of hate
😮
Do you support keeping the Confederate statues in place?
sandinyourshoes because they are US veterans by federal law 85-425 section 410 passed in 1957 oh and fun fact there’s confederate war dead buried at Arlington Natl Cemetary which is for US veterans
I just don’t get it.. they are all residents of Dallas and that monument been there this whole time and some citizens want to say something now
They're federally protected! Good try Karen!
HAAAAAAAA HAHAHA
Leave the statues alone they are a memory of the past
We don’t need statues that were put up to honor shitty people and to protest civil rights to know about history, especially if the meaning of the statues were biased
We have books and documentaries
Lol
Definitely hate
The real truth is--------white people have been the kindest people on the planet
The real truth is that kindness knows no race
@@HogExeNadoUser Isn't it true that Whites have No Rights?
Heritage
and?
Of hate
