Pugh to explore removing Confederate monuments in Baltimore 5-29-17


New Orleans recently took down its Confederate monuments. Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh says she is considering doing the same thing in the city.

“The city does want to remove these,” Pugh told The Baltimore Sun. “We will take a closer look at how we go about following in the footsteps of New Orleans.”

Before former Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake left office last year, she added signs in front of four Confederate monuments in Baltimore. The signs said, in part, that the monuments were “part of a propaganda campaign of national pro-Confederate organizations to perpetuate the beliefs of white supremacy, falsify history and support segregation and racial intimidation.”

The all black democrat leadership of Baltimore has turned it into a hell hole and they worry about this! Take a walk through the inner harbor and see how many businesses are gone.Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson didn't have any slaves during the Civil war and Stonewall opened up a school to teach negro children in Winchester Va. Its time these Baltimorons learn a little history and take responsibility for the absolute mess they have created. They are rapidly approaching a point where the white people aren't going to take their crap anymore!

Erasing all reminders of slavery and slave owners, so after all the Confederate statues are gone, they will go after statues and monuments of Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Lincoln. Yes, Lincoln was a slave owner. His wife inherited some slaves, women couldn't vote or be property owners, so they really belonged to her husband!

Like in Italy, Russia and China, one day America will regret removing these statues. It is a book-burning moment in our history. Dark indeed.

Save this post in a time capsule:
I predict that there will be a time when bulldozers will demolish the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington DC that honors those who died in the Vietnam War.
Some say war crimes just may have been committed. There was the My Lai massacre; Agent Orange; blanket bombings; questionable interrogations. The use of Napalm.
Mark my words. It will happen.
It too about 16 or so decades for the liberals to get around to our Civil War. I predict a somewhat shorter time to get to Vietnam.
But it will happen.

This is called White Genocide! The blacks are trying to demoralize whites by taking their heroes away from them. Calling them White Supremacists which is Bullshit. The Democrats are taking advantage of them through the concept of Divide and Conquer.

Boycott Baltimore, Charlottesville, Va, and New Orleans.

These monuments are history and they need to be left alone. It is against the law to mess with the monuments.

I am a come here so couldn't give a crap about Baltimore or any inner city for that matter. I say let the rats (both two legged and four legged)who run rampant have it all. When they come to the burbs they might get a nice surprise.

Do not ever through any old history books that you may have in your possession away! This might be the only way to preserve the original writings of the past for the next generations to discover. Make copies of these old books, if you can, and distribute those copies to the masses.

She put a sign in front of a statue with her OPINION of history on it???
SHE gets to write history lessons for the people now?
I suppose, since she was such an incompetent and stupid official, she SHOULD try another career path, but history doesn't seem to be her forte, either.
