It's not "history". History is written by the victors, not the losers.

How many **** "memorials" will you find in Germany? How many Facist "memorials" will you find in Italy?

We are the only pvssy nation in the world that let the losers erect a bunch of cheap monuments to themselves.

There is plenty of history. Battlefields all across the east coast.

The "monuments" were erected 50 years later to taunt the blacks who still lived in the South. That's the truth.

Have you been to Germany, Austria or Italy?

Just asking. I lived in Italy for a few years, and SE Asia for about 1yr. They are there.

I love how this moderate statement had both 3 “thumbs up” and 3 “thumbs down” and 1 Ralph Nader

Sorry, racism doesn't have clear cut lines. Look at the anti-Semitism of Farrakhan and the Women's March. Look at the alt right.

Racists and idiots are well dispersed across the political spectrum.

This thread and the racism arguments has been entertaining and comical and absurd and spot on. If people would stop talking racism and finger pointing and cataloging and stereotyping, and instead just lead by example we would be better off. From what I have seen in my life... no one race has a patent on racism. People need to unplug themselves from the mass brainwashing machine.

You might want to do some research before being so smug, LSAT 172

I've been to Bozan/Bolzano, they don't hide the building; they expect you to be an adult and learn from it.

Otzi the Iceman is there too...He may be more your speed.

Yes, more overt and culturally ingrained. Also, more tolerated and less punished.

Good lord, you've got crackers in North Carolina fighting to keep a Confederate statue on campus.

If anyone thinks that would happen at UM, they are insane.

What is a cracker? Or hick? You seem to be attempting to use a term you think insulting to to demean some group of people. Do you deem yourself specially endowed to insult people? If so, please try to be better at it. Crackers are from Georgia, not NC. Hicks is very generic applying to more uneducated people, generally living in rural areas in any part of the country.

By the way, implying that people should be “punished” for words is hardly torerate and a dangerous two edged sword.
If you must try to insult people please pick up your game, although I myself always like classic stuff. Some of the more trendy ones from more highbrow types are: Walmart shoppers, smelly, bible clingers, mouth breathers, and of course an old standby, ignorant with or without fool attached. None are really snappy nor very cutting so hopefullly you will do better. My personal favorite is deplorables, but that didn’t work out well for the originator so probably not a good choice.

In the year 2018, the left is far more concerned with race in this country than the right. I love Miami as a city but I find it hilarious when people from down there refer to other parts of America as backwoods etc. I guess diversity is ok only if you lean different kinds of left. The right cares that people take ownership of their own behavior, wants the government to leave individuals alone, and thinks that if you’re born with certain parts between your legs then your gender is decided and not up for debate. Is that controversial?

When has Trump taken ownership of his bad behavior? And why do a lot of Republicans want to say what a woman can do with her body if they want the government to leave individuals alone?

The left is the current king of shutting down “discussions” and freedom of speech. People on the right are routinely forced to cancel speaking engagements because of the left, whereas left wing speakers are allowed to spout off with almost no resistance. Agreed everyone should be able to talk, whether all points are valid or not.

Sounds like you don't know what freedom of speech really is

The dislikes are now up to 5. Its probably the dumbasses who think their side is 100%perfect and all the problems are because of the other side.

I appreciated what you wrote. It was very eloquent and thought out statement. Some people just can’t stand facts.

Has nothing to do with the city. It has everything to do with the overall cultural and tolerance level for racism on the college campus. I know there are a lot of right-wingers on this website, but UM is a very liberal and culturally diverse campus.

State schools in hick states? Yeah, not as much.

It’s pretty universal that college campuses usually are Uber liberal
