A Washington Post/ABC poll shows a majority of Americans oppose removing statues of Confederate soldiers or U.S. presidents who had slaves.
The Washington Post reported on its poll, which highlighted a stark partisan divide:
The new poll finds that 52 percent of Americans oppose removing public statues honoring Confederate generals, while 43 percent support their removal. That includes an 80 percent majority of Republicans and 56 percent of independents in opposition, while 74 percent of Democrats support the removal of these statutes.
Almost 6 in 10 white people, along with just over half of Hispanic people, oppose removing statues of Confederate soldiers, while over three-quarters of black people support their removal.
The Black Lives Matter movement continues to enjoy majority support, with 63 percent of Americans saying they support it, including 46 percent who say they “strongly” support it. But there are sharp differences among partisans, with 92 percent of Democrats and 62 percent of independents saying they back the movement, while 68 percent of Republicans oppose it.

Sorry, the majority no longer matters in any situation.
ReplyDeleteSad indeed.
So many blacks have shown their true colors and it's very very ugly. So many are more "offended" over a statue then over black children being gunned down. They only care about a black life depending on who the killer is. That proves you can take them out of Africa but it's very hard to take the uncivilized primitive ways of the African out of them Human beings think all lives matter When and until they start acting like human beings will they ever be looked at as equals. Animals are more civilized
ReplyDeleteYou can’t take the uncivilized primitive ways out of them when they can’t be domesticated. They can’t start to act like humans when they cant be domesticated. Oh no, I hope I’m not called “racist” . That would be awful as sensitive as I am.
DeleteWhite Lives Matter want statues and history left alone. That is exactly what it is history, whether blacks like it or not.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that, that many honest Americans support blm. I bet the number is higher on support for not defunding and keeping statues. The safety of citizens is number one on government list. A lot that follows is a waste of money. How about defunding studies on why do monkeys play with themselves or some elaborate funerals where thrives (politicians) lay out for trolls to view after they expire. There is not enough space to show waste. Just my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I would go to any politician's funeral would be just to make sure they're dead.
DeleteToo bad majority doesn't rule in the US.

909 unlike you, most blacks have the ability to think critically about most issues at the same time. Try it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIf so, when will it show?
Deletehas BLM any blacks most of what I see are white people can we spray paint them
ReplyDelete159 lol I believe most of the statue destruction vids and other vandalism I have seen have been in crowds of white kids. But keep on day dreamin. Not to mention, lets be real. Most of you claim blacks are so uncivilized, then you go into a rage about affirmative action when you see a black man with a better job, more money, and a better house/car than you. And don't let him happen to be with a white woman. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe General John Henry Winder historical placard should of never bem removed. Weakass Politicians in this county! POS Bob!
