That's fine, but the mob mentality that got many statues torn down is scary if that's the direction the Left wants us to go. The statues are symbols, and there's also symbolism at play when you see people kicking and spitting on those statues. Not the same thing as tearing down statues of Lenin or Hussein.

I haven't seen one kneel down protest being attacked by cops with German Shepherds or water hoses. But I have seen physical violence tearing down those statues. People have the right to voice their opinions no matter what side they are on. But we're seeing an active movement bent on rewriting history and reshaping the country by any means necessary.

Fixed it for you.
Dominance of the weaker isn't anything to be proud of. I have no problem living and working next to anyone of any race, as long as we share a common belief in "Love your neighbor as you love yourself".

The problem is, no one is putting it to a vote.
Unless you think your current city council has your best interests first. Most are more concerned about being re-elected.

Nobody's rewriting history that's just a dog whistle by the alt right Neo-Nazi KKK. And if you think these so-called protest by the alt-right are peaceful you're more blind and ignorant than I thought.

Learning our history without being blinded by patriotism is some sort of purity test?
The song was written during the war of 1812, we had already created a country.
I find it odd you would say the song is about fighting for a country without tyranny, considering the slaves Key's lyrics refer to had been living under tyranny in the US. They gained their freedom by fighting for the British, who had already outlawed the slave trade while we were busy building an economy around it.
It seems the right wants to shut down any factual discussion of history and replace it with your revisionist blind patriotism version.
Why are you so butt hurt that people are talking about the history of the song?
I've seen one alt-right protest that resulted in a death. I've seen numerous physical attacks by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, including rhetoric that got cops killed. And numerous shutdowns of conservative speakers across the country on college campuses including riots. The alt-right movement is minuscule in comparison but blown way out of proportion by the liberal media. Trying to suppress free speech and tearing down statues is very much an attempt to reshape this country, and apparently by any means necessary. And at the root of it are socialist/communist/anarchist agitators.
Are you actually saying we can put today's ideas on what was happening in 1812? And for Pete's sake the War of 1812 would've resulted in the British taking us back over if we had lost. The British were still dealing with the French, hadn't yet realized the greatest years of their empire where they dominated people worldwide.
What is concerning is using the racist tag to try to destroy every symbol of this country. Literally everything. And if given enough head of steam will attempt to destroy everyone who doesn't go along with it. This is right up there with Nazi book burning and blaming the Jews for everything. It foreshadows things to come if people don't stand up against it.

That's
ing hilarious.The left is all about rewriting and cleansing history per their own admission.
The only bit of history I can recall that the right tries to rewrite is that the South did secede from the USA over slavery.
At the same time, the left tries to put forth that the North fought the Civil War to end slavery.
Both are wrong.

Succeed—-do really, really well.
Secede—take your ball and go home.
You’re welcome.

In the attempt to secede, the South failed to succeed.
