Key, a slaveowner, wrote a song about the flag triumphing over fleeing slaves, and we pay solemn respect to this song. Some people have a legitimate gripe about that.
America should pick a new...
Are you a 12 year old? That logic only makes sense in your preteen years.
Francis Key was a slaveowner. Africa is a continent - like North America.
I find it hard to care one or another about...
I obviously have a lot of work still to do here before I should go someplace new.
You know if you spent a little more time and energy trying to have empathy and understand where other people are coming from, you could become less of a crumudgeon. Is that what you are scared of?
Just because there is worse harm going on somewhere else doesn’t mean we shouldn’t address the harm that is going on at home. Now you are the one sounding like a 12 year old libtard.
Pretty sure one of his accusers is a republican.
On your side:

Are you 12?
I don’t know. You tell me. I didn’t say anything about the song or Eli Witney. I was talking about celebrating enslavers.

Are you saying that slavery was not objectively a bad thing? It is only bad because it offends some people?
Don’t pretend like what these people did wasn’t objectively bad.
Murderers, eslavers, enablers of child abuse - these people shouldn’t be celebrated. These atrocities cannot be overcome by even...
Joe Paterno won a lot of football games, too.
Not erased. But celebrating it is very questionable.
If we can agree that it was right for Penn State to take down their statue of Joe Paterno, why can’t we agree with taking down statues and “enshrined” national vestiges of those that enslaved black...
Key was right for owning slaves?
The slaves were wrong for fighting against their masters?
Well, they were slaves in the US and Key was an owner. I think it is obvious which of the two were on the “right” side of history.
Though sometimes I hope for impeachment or the 25th amendment.
Lol. You are probably right about that.
I see you have moved past the denial stage, and are on the pain and guilt phase. As a heads up, anger and bargaining is usually the next stage.
