I can’t believe this is still an ongoing saga.
I'm proud of my state making progress, though.
There are a lot of statues because they weren't just random memorials, but rather a coordinated effort by white supremacists.
And it's only because of gas prices
?
Good. No statues for losers.
Or ballrooms.
I don't care that they lost (I mean I'm happy about it, but you don't have to win something to be worth of being remembered). I care about then being traitors fighting for slavery.
Sometimes people don’t win, yet deserve to be memorialized. On the other hand some fought to be able to own people
No time for losers cause we are the champions
So they should take down the Boudica statue in London? She is a famous loser. Or no more William Wallace statues?
Lmao, I misread the title as "Crows begin removing Confederate statues" and I was both confused and intrigued. The actual article is much less interesting.
Dude same. And I was really excited to learn how someone trained crows to take down statues. I’m incredibly disappointed.
Theres a Game of Thrones joke here somewhere
At this stage I was half expecting the article body to explain that they were being removed in order to be polished and gilded.
Surprising the fat man hasn't sent ice goons to block the removal somehow.
Nice, I didn't think we'd see the statue toppling season again. Unless it was statues of black Americans...
Now...? They've... been there all this time...?
At this point, I'd half-expect them to add a few more with some shity MAGA excuse.
Hopefully North Carolina can be the next purple state to turn blue
Wishing the best for the Carolina who disagreed with the other Carolina enough to leave.
North Carolina is the best Carolina
❤️
They finally realized that they actually LOST the civil war?
I live in VA and didn't even know they were there.
…well yeah who goes to Richmond on purpose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just smash them to bits and leave the pieces there.
Do you want crackheads? Because that's how you get crackheads.
Well we don't just want crackheads, we want crackbodies and cracklimbs and kinda crack all the things. We want to smash the statues, cracks are just the start.
