Multiple protesters have been arrested for destroying a Confederate statue. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Brett Erlich, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. www.tytnetwork.com/join
"DURHAM, N.C.-You could argue that the Civil War actually ended in this North Carolina city. Although Robert E. Lee’s more famous surrender took place at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, Confederate General Joseph Johnston’s surrender to William T. Sherman two weeks later at Bennett Place, a farm on the outskirts of town, was larger and ended the war in the east.
You could also argue that, as in many places across the South, the war never totally ended here. Durham was the site of major battles over segregation and the home of Klan leaders, and a statue commemorating “THE BOYS WHO WORE THE GRAY” stood outside the old county courthouse on Main Street.
Until Monday night.
Around 7 p.m. Monday, a group of protesters, inspired by the violent riots over the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia, decided that if Durham County was in no hurry to take down the rebel soldier, they’d do so themselves.”*

Young Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party. 2. A young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.(American Heritage Dictionary)
Glorifying traitors shouldn't be tolerated. Imagine Germany glorifying Nazis generals.
The losers are always the traitor i guess.
Yes! The States' rights TO OWN SLAVES...
Solomon Kane yeah they're right to own people and treat them like animals the fact that you think it wasn't about slavery shows how little you know about history
The Nazi's weren't really traitors though. They came into power in a "democratic" way
this topic is super awkward for those CalExit people
Confederate flag and monuments belong in a museum and/Or a special memorial or space meant to educate on the civil war. Those who were key people of the confederacy should not be on government property but in places meant for people to learn of history.
Totally agree. But they shouldn't be torn down by gangs of people because they hurt their feelings.
TheShowGamer27 THIS GUY HAS THE RIGHT IDEA.
Well tell the white nationalists to stop having demonstrations, and maybe we can stop alt-leftists from making public demonstrations. Fair's fair.
TheShowGamer27 exactly shit like should go in a museum
BadWebDiver there is no alt-left. Only White Nazis are to blame.
Civil War dead deserve respect. More respect than current soldiers dying for imperialism and oil.
Those soldiers fought for a treacherous cause. They deserve no respect at all.
@@haatpraat2993
They didnt fight for anything treacherous. Invading States to conquer them and aubjugate them is a treacherous cause. Defending your Rights and Freedom from a tyrannical givt is not.
You morons are completely anti-American. You know nothing of the Constitution.
I can't believe how stupid people are erasing history
Alexander Escobar Yea because it's impossible to know history unless you see statues of the people. I guess when they take the statue down they clear the internet and every book as well.
Alexander Escobar They just brought it down to get a better look of their "history"
HOW IS IT ERASING HISTORY??? We don't have a statue of Hilter but most of us know who he was.. Stop acting like books and the internet don't exist
In Germany, publicly displaying Nazi paraphernalia is illegal.
In USA, celebrating slave owners and traitors seems to be the norm.
Everything you have been taught at school in history has been a giant whitewash to hide the brutality of your colonist hordes and lazy gentry class of the deep South.
To put things in perspective: What you call Thanksgiving, the native Americans call a day of mourning.
What has been wrong the past century is how the sensitivities of white snowflake losers in the south and apologist fools has been pandered to for too long.
TheCatLord Being erased from what?
Move the statues to battlefields and museums. Preserve history, but in the right way. The history of the Confederacy should be remembered as a cautionary tale, not glorified as something grand and noble. A statue at a battlefield memorializes the fallen. A statue in front of a State building endorses the ideals of the Confederacy. And you don't immortalize the losers of a war at your Statehouse. That'd be like flying the British flag over the courthouse because they lost the Revolutionary War.
Actually, Stalin would actually edit photos and get rid of people in the photos that he turned on
yes, Stalin "literally" airbrushed people from history, the TYT guys are pretty uneducated.
Jesse Lopez yes but literally would mean that he was a time traveller and killed them as kids
Stalin did more than just edit pictures, he killed millions too.
@Keith Williams - you can't talk sense into these people. They won't retract their statements.
no literally doesn't mean time travel and killing them as kids, literally airbrushing, means taking some form of artwork, painting or photo and airbrushing it to alter in some way. So when Stalin had someone close to him killed, they would literally airbrush them out the photo documentation, as well as edit the history books so that person didn't exist in any historical accounts.
This is absolutely disgusting, a war memorial to people who died. You sicken me and you shall perish.
I'm Black and I really don't need people breaking the law or practicing unfair hiring practicing on my behave. I can sue or create a petition, thank you.
Awesome, make a argument against the confederates but don't condemn anarchy, isn't there a law for damaging public property?
Yes! We're on the same page, you can't fight lawlessness with lawlessness.
Civil disobedience requires that unjust laws be broken.
Would you have pointed to the lunch counter sit-ins of the civil rights era and called that "anarchy"?
Cody, the operative word is "unjust", destroying public property on your own behest without going through the right channels is a form of anarchy.
FunkTheJazz someone didn't watched the whole video. can't say i'm shocked.
I'm all about preserving some form of history (no matter how foul) so we don't forget. Perhaps these "monuments" could be put in a local museum?
I mean, if the statue wasn't court-ordered to be removed by the town council, then destroying it is illegal, plain and simple.
It's pretty pathetic how people can get so easily offended by an inanimate object. You are literally wasting your life trying to destroy something that does nothing to you. Why not just treat the statue as a piece of history and leave it be?
I don't agree with doing it illegally, so I don't support this, but they SHOULD be taken down. Just through the proper channels. Get the city to take it down. And put them in a museum. I would support a museum displaying Confederate paraphernalia with accurate historical context.
manicms agreed! That's exactly what I thought too.
manicms Agree with you 100%. Those statues shouldn't be displayed in public but we shouldn't applaud vandalism either because that's a slippery slope into becoming the exact thing we're fighting against. Also, they're technically art as well so they should be preserved in a setting that displays them for what they are which are remnants of our history as ugly as it is.
The confederates didn't build it, it doesn't belong in a museum any more than the rest of the courthouse's landscaping.
No don't put statues in a museum, a portrait will suffice. Statues take a lot of effort to make and the whole thing about them is that they're permanent, we shouldn't suggest to people that we want confederate soldiers to be celebrated, they were entirely on the wrong side of history and should be shown as such.
I thought the statue was taken down legally that's why the confederates were protesting in first place?
I recall there excuse being that it would cost 3 million dollars to take down that statue. Lol guess this was the more cost efficient effort so conservatives should be perfectly fine with it
Imagine if they would put up statues in Armenia to celebrate The Young Turks.
My two favorite moments: that first guy who spits on it and the guitarist coming over and kicking it.
i mean, isnt that destruction of property?
Yes it is.
Whose property?
Yes, it is.
Even though it is illegal and destruction of property and the people who pulled it down should face some sort of fine or punishment you can't tell me when they pulled it down it wasn't satisfying as hell to see a statue of a traitor to the United States be destroyed
TheGM no what made it okay to smash it was that it's a monument to someone who was a traitor to they're own country that also believed it was okay to own people
A statue remembering boys who died in a war. HOW RACIST!!! omg
Luis R. No a statue remembering boys who believed in slavery and were traitors
Inzaynmembrain97 Agreed. While it was satisfying to see it destroyed, I would have preferred it done in a legal and civilized manner. A few of these statues are being placed in historical museums, after all.
However, given the circumstances, I can understand the mob mentality behind it as well as the one man who placed a flag at the pedestal.
+Inzaynmembrain97 Funny how the North kept their slaves long after the South released theirs. Delaware being the last state. The Civil war was centralized government usurp of states rights, tyranny as outlined in the Jeffersonian constitution. If you study about the Northern/southern industry you would know that slavery was an excuse for the war. Most people dont study the war past high school, but it was over states rights/north south industry, and the Louisiana purchase. There is a radio recording on youtube of Julius Howell in 1930. He was a southern captain and explains what really happened. It isnt what you were taught in school. They wanted to amend the constitution. The war caused ever expanding government with ever expanding taxes. Our forefathers would have rolled over in their graves.
The monument needed to come down but not like this. This was vandalism plain and simple.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Let's talk about something important, did anyone else think the statue wasn't hollow?
"That video was established in 1924" haha fail
Calling the car terrorist a "vigilante" was absurd.... hes not Batman he's a murderer
You can't destroy property. Period. No debate.
So all those native american's property houses and lifestock? that apparently was debatable
Kyrsten Burrows what exactly are you referring to?
Boscod • When europeans came to America and caused a mass genocide to Natives, 100 million+ were killed over couple hundred years.
CAPTION SHOULD SAY MOB OF MAGGOTS DESTROY GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
That was uncalled for, maggots actually have a use and should not be insulted by being compared to that crowd.
So, then is it ok to tear down the Malcolm X statue?
I only eat Brains, Dummy are there any Malcom X statues on public spaces?
so the peaceful BLM and ANTIFA beat you to death..
Are you telling the Catholic Irish in Northern Ireland should take down all of their monuments and murals supporting their political position?
You know, because they lost their war against the state too...
I find your comment absurd. Did the Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland want to maintain a slave society where people were bought, sold, put in chains, beaten and raped as a regular occurrence? To my mind the Catholics fought against the discrimination meted out by the Protestants and their position mirrors if anything to that the blacks of the USA.
Remove it, don’t remove it.. History remains history.. you can’t change history, the truth remains the truth..
that video was established in 1924.......lmao xb
hahhahahah thank you :-)
Take down the statues of these confederate traitors! LONG LIVE THE UNION!
You heard "Barney Sanders", I heard "This video was made in 1924".
This whole discussion has just made me realise how weird the irish civil war was. It happened so soon after the war of independence and shortly before we became a republic so there are statues to people who lost the civil war, but they also took part in the war of independence and were part of the government that formed the republic so its impossible to say it's a statue to a traitor because they weren't.
Awesome when are we going to destroy the Egyptian pyramids?
Those huge monuments to slavery have been spiting in the face of equality and freedom for far to long!
EsotericOccultist Sorry slavery sympathizer but they still owned slaves so those monuments to oppression and slavery still need to go!
down with the pyramids up with freedom!
+DeusVultyyy I highly recommend that you immediately book a trip to Egypt and implement your plan. I 100% support you rushing off to Egypt and the chaos that is going on there right now, and get yourself in trouble with the law. In 40 or 50 years when you get out of prison over there, come back and tell us your story.
Catastrophic Broccoli Nice try Nazi!
King Lito So you support slavery and oppression?... Well I guess i wouldn't expect any less from a nazi sympathizing fascist like you.
DeusVultyyy stop playing dumb on purpose. there's a difference between a civilization that existed in a time when slavery wasn't considered immoral, and a group who slaughtered fellow Americans and whose whole purpose was to maintain slavery. the pyramids are not a symbol of slavery, can't say the same about the confederacy.
Barnie would've won!
Bad Man Skill
No...
The Albert Pike statue in Washington is still standing and nobody wants to remove it. Why? He was a confederate general and he was a freemason.
There's a right way and a wrong way of removing the statues. They statues are in honor of soldiers. That alone, has earned them the honor of proper removal. These statues are to be placed in museums for all to see.
"Germany's wonderful now" not exactly Cenk
They seem to be glossing over the fact that those protesters committed vandalism.
felony level too.
Blacks who protested segregation by sitting in at lunch counters in the 60's were breaking the law too.
+Cody Davies sitting at lunch counters != destroying public property
Unless, that is, you're seriously racist enough to believe that a black person sitting at a lunch counter "taints" and "destroys" it, simply because it was touched by someone with dark colored skin.
This statue stained america with its presence and everything it stood for. All symbols of racism and slavery should be taken down, and if it takes patriotic citizens taking initiative to do it when the government won't, so be it!
Statues of traitors matters.
Black lives do not. We get it.
Many of these statues are not historical artifacts built during or after the war, but were recently erected in front of courthouses, schools, and other public institutions all over the South during the 1950s...just when the Civil Rights movement was getting started. Do I need to tell you what that means?
No they werent. Name one that was erected in the 50s, you are wrong and Im sure you dont live in the Old Confederacy. I do, and I had 5 ancestors who fought in the CSA. I am proud of all of them. None were slave owners, they were just people. 1% of the south owned slaves. How come England and all the Europaen countiries, and Brazil managed to get rid of slavery without a war? Legislation and rembersement could have done it and there wouldnt be this culture of hate and entitlement.
A statue isn't racist by the way, it's just a chunk of stone.
They need to be in museums, not torn down like that. This statue is an important part of American history, a dark one, but one that we can't forget.
I agree.
Frankly putting on this kind of display is just going to embolden the White Supremacist. Not stop them.
Ensenga 666
That's why you put it in a museum. To have a physical record of history us something we don't always have access to. Textbooks can only get you so far, it's important to show the dark-side of U.S. history too.
Lol too late, should of did that a long time ago.
no one has forgotten. thats why theyre being taken down. if anything, these people want what the confederates did emphasized in history books IN ALL CAPS. gtfo with that history/forget nonsense.
The confederates lost, deal with it drump cult......
Sad.
:(
Hillary lost, deal with it.
triggered once again...........so easy.
Robert Lee lost the war. The winner gets to decide if they want confederate statue. I don't like losers.
The federal government thought discretion was better part of valor. They were trying to unite a country, you are trying to tear one apart.
if you add too much salt to a pot if beans, no matter how much water you add it just wont taste right. Instead you have to empty the pot & start over with fresh new ingredients!
Fake news
Holy Shit: They did it.
Better to shit on these monuments than take them down. just keep covering them in shit on a daily basis Best way to remind the world what the CSA was all about.
“Racist monuments” honoring family members is now racist.
If they want to keep their monuments they should move them to Confederate cemetaries and private Confederate historical facilities. Like they are so fond of saying, "Don't shove your controversial beliefs down our throats!"
Conserve the statues in a museum since history should not be forgotten, but don't taint history with confederate pride unless you educate people on why we are not the confederate states of America and better off for it.
nevereverwinter . no, let's set them on fire and watch them burn
stone isn't very flammable, plus also this is no better than common vandalism. We are better than this, that is why we are using social media to identify these ingrates, now that's power!
nevereverwinter . we can throw it in the water then.
TheCatLord . but he wasn't a Confederate leader tho. Robert e Lee was the most racist president ever recorded
Beware. Triggered Trumpanzees below.
Ęÿūį Æßñ ahhh shaddap ya Obsmasexual..
AMEN!
Nazis everywhere people - its like we're playing Castle Wolfenstein
:O
;D
those vandalizers should be sent to jail
It's history. Start a museum if you want to preserve it. Taxpayer Money shouldn't be used to promote ppl who believed in slavery.
Racist or not, it's a piece of history. Vandalizing it is no different from what ISIS did to Mosul Museum.
Oh I didn't know people worshipped members of the confederacy
Trevor Scott that's not the point dipshit
Where were the complaints of "but it's history!" when americans tore down statues of sadam Hussein?
It is very different - don't conflate religious extremists with a history of barbaric violence with antifa who is an fascism and does not have a history of violence against humanity.
astrea79
I'm guessing we were in 1866 and the freed slaves were taring the statue down, you would have a point... but this was 150 years ago... its a memorial now... not a tribute.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It belonged in a museum, not destroyed by an angry mob.
It is absolutely disgusting to call that murderer a vigilante. He needs to be barred from the new media for his own views.
An innocent woman was killed by a bunch of Nazis and white supremacists who wanted to protect one of these statues, so I think it's only fitting that others get torn down in memory of that girl. Besides, there are over a thousand of those confederacy statues all over the place, so I guess tearing down just a few more wouldn't hurt.
Jetpack Rorschach yay lets destroy things. That'll make it go away.
So a person dies so let's destroy public property in retaliation? I guess we don't need a legal system after all.
Jetpack Rorschach totally Dude, only committing a few crimes never hurt any one
"Innocent woman", LMAO I think you mean fat commie bitch
Hey mate i have a friend that got killed by someone that used words just like you, can i getm my revenge on you? I mean seems fair righ?
Just so you know, in their opinion I doubt they think they were fighting against America. In their view, the South was their America and they were simply rebelling against The Union since it no longer allowed them to do what they want and didn't respect State's rights. They didn't view it was fighting America, just the Northern half which wasn't representative of their values. They wanted to break away and form their own America with just their values. However their values included slavery, etc so obviously it wasn't right. I just think if you want to honestly represent their perspective, they weren't fighting against America in their minds, just "The Union".
Hope that clears something up
uh... lolol. nah.
@Danielle Secede - to withdraw formally from an alliance, federation, or association. So no, they knew what they were doing. They knew they were a part of a larger entity. They wanted to keep their slaves at any cost and lost. The Union referred to the United States of America.
One problem with the slave statment.
Freeing the slaves was just to punish the south.
Also a very important thing to note about the civil war is Lincoln basicly had a fort armed near the south and basicly sent a letter stating they were about to be attacked.which is what actually sparked the war and along with state rights like the right to decide how they shod taxe and manage them sleves.
That doesn't matter. They attempted to destroy the Union. They fired the first shot. They are traitors to the nation and they should be remembered as such.
so if slave owners need to be banned from public display...what ya gonna do about george washington?
And Thomas Jefferson.
Instead of destroying history which is just retarded move it to a museum so future generations can learn our past mistakes
It was a monument to soldiers, they destroyed property and now that 100 year old statue is destroyed
It could have gone in a museum
6% of the south had slaves and this was a memorial to soldiers
i was speaking in terms of the southern population and that percent included slaves owned by freed slaves
That statue deserved to be destroyed. So do all the other racist statues
+No One Important
It's genocide, bro. I was slow to fully recognize this. But this is a genocide against whites.
+Michael Chen Who's killing white people for being white?
A lot of poeple are actually killing poeple just for being white.
Serouisly have you not seen what happens when you post something innocent like a kid with a american flag.basicly poeple say it's ok to punch them cause they are white(I wish I was kidding but this is how bad things have gotten).
Also the civil war was about state rights not slavery.freeing the slaves was just a punishment for the south trying to become a seprate country due to their rights being ignored.
By the way you liberals are repeating the past by ignoring the right rights and what they actually have to say.instead opting to beat them up which is what actually lead to the girls death cause the right finally snapped from being beat up and even killed by the lefties.
I do not support Trump at all. But in my opinion there is no reason for vandalism of confederate monuments. They could be removed rather than vandalized and destroyed. It should be up to individual communities whether they want to keep or remove them.
oriole21bird you know what? I am with this vandalism but your kinda right. They should of did this in a civil way.
oriole21bird Nothing wrong with tearing down monument to traitors. They should NEVER have been erected in the first place. There is a very apt comparison between these statues, and the statue of Saddam Hussein.
They can be removed a put in a museum with other Civil War relics.
so the Confederacy should be idolize?
Individual communities? You know there are parts of the US that still want segregation. There's a reason why not every topic gets left up to the people for deciding.
"Oh no, it's different when we do it because this art is EVIL!"
~ everyone who has ever burned a painting or destroyed a statue, or burned a book, or pillaged a church.
It should have read: "In memory of those who were Runner-Ups."
who is this barnie sanders?
commentor2013 sounds like a nice guy wonder if there's any relation to Bernie
He meant to say barney sandals
CONFEDERATES LOSING AGAIN LOL
Does that statue actually really offend anyone? I mean really offend anyone at all? I've seen my countries statues torn down, speaking about my religion banned, my opinions and beliefs labeled as a crime, asking questions seeking the truth deemed threatening...etc. I literally feel sick watching this. I feel like I'm trapped in some horrific twilight zone episode on repeat. What is the end game here? I just can't understand and I'm serious, maybe I'm the one who's crazy.
Correction - The US forces pulled down the statue in Iraq.
I am proud of my Confederate ancestors
Ok, preserve the statues, but take them from public places of honour and put them in museums in their true context: as rebels to the republic - who fought to keep kidnapped peoples brought into the country against their will in chains! Americans need to acknowledge this dark side of their history as a great evil. Certainly not a subject to honour or celebrate.
Hieroglyphic Tributes The thing is, the statues were never built to remember those that died in the Civil War war. If that were the case they would have made those statues after the war. They didn't, they made them 100 years later during the civil rights movement.
Hieroglyphic Tributes Atleast you make sense.
sorry but that is our history. They should not take any of them down.
They were poor and powerless cannon fodder. They deserve a monument.
My grandfather was a soldier in WW2 for the Germans and I agree there should be no monuments for them. That was a dark period in history for Germany, it should not be revered in anyway. It should be taught so we learn from history and it should be recognized in Museums but those kinds of monuments have no place in the public square. The same goes for the confederates, who were among other things traitors to the United States.
Mister Stevo Exactly! Context is everything, I've just been to Gettysburg and there are lots of monuments there ON the battlefield grounds. As soon as you leave and you get into town there are no statues for the South leadership or troops. They belong in the museums and battlefields.
When you march with them you are them.
Your grandpa has no fault
why not go for compromise and open Confederacy Museum and put there all the statues? This is what we did with communist statues in Poland after Soviet 50 years of occupation.
why? because in america we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH. this has no compromises. we believe in FREE SPEECH, even when you disagree with the other side. people have the RIGHT, WTHOUT RESERVATION to say anything they wish, display anything they wish............some people in america disagree.burning books and destroying monuments is what they wish.
American Civil War 2 lol.
Offend In Every Way But why fight?
Are they protesters or are they vandals?
That dude said "Barney Sanders" LMAO
Washington owned slaves too. Should we destroy his monuments?
IdarkphoenixI Washington didn't betray the United States so he could keep slavery
IdarkphoenixI that's a pointless argument. Yes he owned slaves but owning slaves and defending the right to have slave by turning on your country and killing your fellow Americans ARE NOT the same thing nor should they be mentioned in the same ballpark. Washington having slaves in a time people had slaves and men who turned on America to keep them are NOT on equal terms.
You just dont get it do you. Why are you equating those who were in civil war and those who did it BEFORE the civil war.
IdarkphoenixI
And nazis invented space travel/satellites. Are you going to stop using google maps?
The point is no shit slavery is bad but there is a big difference between those who had them and those who fought their own country to keep them. These people represent racism
Many of the men who fought in the civil war did not fight for slavery, but rather wanted to split not from "the United States", but simply from the North. If we begin tearing down the statues of men who fought and died for a nation that allowed slavery, we might as well tear down the statutes of the men who owned slaves. (Our founding fathers) ISIS also likes to tear down statues and artifacts from the past.
Matthew Rizzo It wasn't about splitting from the states. It was about the federal government controlling the states.
That is being a traitor, or not?
Zohm B they have the right to share their opinion and id love to hear it, but TYT is not their opinion
Explosive Cats “traitor” is just a label, from the perspective of someone in the north and someone looking back at history, you can choose to call them “traitors”. From someone else looking back at their ancestors who fought and southerners, their seen as “rebels”, what’s your point?
One of the guys who beat Deandre is being pursued by the police as we speak since one of his High School classmates rolled over on hum.
I so far count zero racist monuments. All I see are brainwashed sheep following a blind shepherd to their own despair.
destruction of public property
So
so its wrong
Naruto Uzumaki but is it really going to affect your life?
Is public
Elin Nevi you do know that some of the worlds "relic sites"/tourist attractions are being destroyed because people 'want to see it'
HEY THE SOUTH. "You lost, get over it!!"
Hey Hellary cultists, you lost! Get over it!
Jeremy Kurowski it's a Memorial to soldiers not too slavery or racism
technically they didn't lose that's why racism still exits in this country . the 3/5 ths compromise was added to the constitution witch states that people of color are only worth 3/5ths of a white man in all political and legal matters . this means that people of color are still Slaves , in 2017 it is called economic Slavery . you are only as free as you can afford , freedom is very very very expensive in our world today . the richest buy the police the government and they get away with all the highest level crimes . Ia'm not talking common burglary people , i'm talking about Tens of thousands of dollars for every man woman and child in the USA STOLEN from the American people . all the theft adds up to TRILLIONS such is our insane national Dept !!!
so if you the common citizen think a mugging or a murder is bad , dude you don't know anything about real hardcore crimes that are happening in the USA and every government around the world today . your legacies are being robbed of any futures and you are still watching tv and going to church thinking the imaginary sky fairies will save your legacies . when the Fema corps and other affiliated agencies come knocking at your door to " escort you to the FEMA CAMPS " at gun point btw , what will you say or do ??? you think nazi germany can't happen in the USA ?
Did You Know That Germany Had a Constitutional Republic with a Bill or Rights just Like the USA ?????? oh yeah my fellow Americans it's time to learn the laws . the Fema Corps has Executive others to confiscate anything and everything they want from the Common American Citizens . I am Not Kidding , you think you own your stuff ? , the government can declare martial law and take it from You at Gun Point if you refuse . the Fema Corps is basically the Secret police of the USA , they can do whatever they want to you , Executive Orders . So sheep enjoy the sleep , when the Fema Corps and other government agencies come a knocking to take you away ..... ooops I mean to " escort you " to uh the Concentrat . .. .. ooops I mean the Fema Camps , don't say you were not warned . I hear many states are trying to pass laws for mandatory Vaccinations . oh yeah I forgot no profit motive there :P silly me . the medical industry only treats illnesses , it doesn't cure them because it's not profitable . the pharmaceutical industry in the USA is over 250 BILLION DOLLARS a year ! , so yeah they can afford to Lobby your government to change the laws . remember " corporations " are so called people with a so called right to government privileges and such . I'm sure a fraction of that 250 BILLION + a year can afford such endeavors Indefinitely . enjoy the Cognitive Dissonance , truth will do that to you , i'm not sorry , i'm worried , and Distressed over the fate of Humanity . you common folk are so lucky you can't see the Big picture , there might be a chance we won't perish , but it's starts with You .
So I don't really condone vandalism or destruction of public property... but I can't really express any sadness that the statue is gone... from a legal standpoint, this shouldn't have happened. But from a moral standpoint... it was wrong that it was ever put up in the first place.
Cenk, the statue of Saddam and the Berlin wall is a terrible analogy. Those people were actually being oppressed at the time. This was a group of young white people that got triggered by a statue thats been there for nearly a century.
WHERES THE SOVIET ANTHEM
Humming it.
Misael Cifuentes awesome
Not the Soviet anthem. The US Anthem. Taking down the traitor's monument that fought for slavery is quite the American thing to do.
Joe Noonan the Soviet Anthem sounds kinda epic but I know what path your going

The people who tore down the statue are heroes. Every single Confederate monument should be torn down.
They are vandals
Tork To bad your on losing side of history😁
AnDCaster Not really, They illegally took down a statue. They quite literally ARE vandals.
Where did the "It needed to come down quote" come from, need for AP Enlgish paper.
I would not like to see these statues destroyed because, regardless of what they stand for, they are works of art. As an African-
American artist, I think the conservatives should build a museum some where in the South (not on public land and not with public money) where they can go to visit, worship, sing and rally around these statues all they want.
I hope those people are jailed for doing that
me too
They won't and you know it
yea the left will say its for the people to destroy history cause they dont like it with im from the north and im ok with the south have it up to show we have the high ground
Nero Cloud I think jail time for this regardless of context is to harsh but these people should absolutely face vandalism charges
vandalism charges with real harsh for being a history Statue this little kids want to damage stuff then the law with slap them over the ass cause the parents sure didnt do it
Don't get angry when they set a rainbow flag on fire.
Jaime Uh so, you celebrate and glorify the oppressors, but daemonise the oppressed. Nazi bitch.
I think you guys missed the point of this comment, look at it again and have another go.
Americans..... Why can't you understand things you read?
usually you are too dumb to chose the gay pride flag just to burn the flag of the vatican... so go on XD
I got up. made a bagel, watered the garden, and Cenk is still talking!
Taken to its logical conclusion, all the statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson should be taken down as well since they both owned slaves. Should we do that too?
How can a statue be racist? 🤔wasn't aware that statues could have racist views
ExtremeTSA Selphish it's a statue of a loser, why honour someone who took a L, isn't America about being number 1?
ExtremeTSA Selphish Statues of traitors?
ExtremeTSA Selphish The man or men that statue represents were racist.
it`s a statue created to glorify slavery.
ExtremeTSA Selphish Seriously?
our history teacher said if history did not exist it would have to be compiled
idiocy at its finest
Don't have to celebrate, you do have to remember
Amazing how hollow that statue was...not in a metaphorical way, I mean the actual construction.

Great idea to put up the broken statue in a museum
ppl who think the civil war was primarily about slavery dont know their history!
the civil was started over banking, states rights and slavery! in that order!
but historical revisionists have made sure we forgot about the banking part!
