NAACP: Remove Georgetown Delaware's Confederate monument

Citing the specter of white nationalist terrorism growing across America, the Lower Sussex County Branch of the NAACP has called on local legislators to stop $11,500 in Grant-in-Aid funding to the Georgetown Historical Society until a Delaware Confederate Monument is removed from its grounds.

“... it has become increasingly clear the country’s confederate monuments are no longer testaments to the past, but idols of a white nationalist future,” reads an Aug. 16 statement from Louise Henry, Lower Sussex NAACP president.

“When these structures – and the confederate flag that so often waves alongside them – become a rallying point for Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and white supremacists, they exist only as a divisive threat to the greatness of America as the most inclusive and diverse country on Earth,” the release said.

The left is manipulating black people to do their dirty work under the guise of racism when in fact they are ushering in Fascism, which is a form of slavery.

Remove the black statues and guess what the blacks ought to mad at the blacks because it was the blacks in africa who sold blacks to the europeans.

NAACP is looking for a 'cause' because, for the most part, they have become irrelevant...sadly they're ignorant as well.

The leaders of Sussex County should NOT cave by removing the icon of our American history. This wasn't an issue until very recently. When our history is removed, we will repeat our mistakes. The books will be next.

Every year, for the past 25, I have donated thousands of dollars to organizations that have catered to the black community. Today, I firmly declare, that cash cow has passed. They will have to pry it from my dying hands from this point forward. I will NEVER give one more cent to these bunch of racists! How dare they call people who love their heritage, racist.
F**k them!!!
Joe, i hope many of your readers 'boycott' donations to these groups as our own protest. Tit for tat.
