I cannot sanction, only governments can.
I do not condone any kind of slavery by any country or people.

Not sure what you are specifically referring to, Im talking about plenty of people justifiably do not want to walk past a statue of a racist scumbag everyday twice a day on their way to work and back or out shopping with their families. Tear the scumbag down. How would a Jew like to walk past a Hitler statue twice a day?
How would an Armenian like to walk past a Talat Pasha statue with his family twice a day? Show some empathy man. This is easy to understand. Tear the cunt down, I say! Its an insulting eye sore. Common sense, you dont put statues of rapists and racists up in peoples' faces. We're talking statues here, not wiping people out of history books which, by the way, still are white-centric pro-colonialist rags.
Tear the fucker down. I support it.

YOu dont give a fuck until it happens to YOU. Then you will give a fuck. Imagine how you would be incensed and outraged and how you would wildly and viciously tear down a statue of a person who hurt one of your loved ones. YOu certainly WOULD do it too. Don't kid yourself. Until it happens to YOU, you will not understand it.
Rarely do people find certain problems worth addressing...until it hits their doorstep. Then it is a problem, well said. You reminded me of how the beginning of the housing crisis-well those blacks shouldn't have bought what they cant afford. Then it hit the Hispanics, same thing. Then when Florida's elders got jobbed...well now it's time to help. Oh, lock up those black people because drugs is their culture...what? Our people are addicted? Opioids? Time to get some money to get them off their uh...substance abuse. And all will pay for it with taxes.
I don't agree with taking anything down like statues. Good initiative, poor judgement. But then again, politicians are so weak to help- so they did what they felt.
Did you ever hear about a Tea Party group that sent memos to break windows, cut gas line of a Minnesota senator because of his voting?

An activist angry over Perriello's vote Sunday published what he thought was the congressman's home address on a blog if any readers wanted to "drop by" and provide a "personal touch" to their views. But the address was his brother's home, where four children under the age of 8 live.
I got about 20 30 instances of those I could post- they felt like they were being wronged by Obama, so let us cut their gas lines, shoot them like Gabrielle Gifford...amazing what people will do- when it impacts them.
Hey man...If you were in sync here...You'd be called The Board's Trump aka shaking up things...But you are not in the majority so you must be an agitator, my my.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
