Who said you needed undying reverence or patriotism to men?His post never said that they aren't an 'essential identity' to the nation. He is simply pointing out, like others have, that they have done Blacks injustice just like other historical figures. Nobody in this thread has said that cacs should remove their statues.
Why should Blacks have this undying patriotism toward dead white men that never respected our people? A lot of Whites do not veiw Blacks as 'American' But yet you're going hard for these dead white folks. Someone can see what is an essential symbol for a country and still point out its flaws and hypocracy. Thats what it seems you are having a hard time with.
I have respect for history and I am passionate about my place in this country.
White supremacists want to take that from me.
I know history, and appreciate the role people had in certain events.
Where do you see me defending specific individuals?
what he's saying???
