After 50 years of this bull crap, I have Negro Fatigue. I just don't give a sh*t anymore about their whining and complaining.

Relax. You are among friends.
I'm trying to analyze this. IF we destroy all that harkens back to the Civil War will that make our nation any better? OR, will it be a reminder of how far this nation has come from enslaving black people to giving them college scholarships to College Basketball teams that are located in what once were states with plantations exploiting their ancestors? These black men are now given a chance to gain an education, skills, etc to achieve unbelievable success.

I actually support this-what the players did. If you march in a 'pro-confederate" rally, you should be willing to publicly state if you think it would have been a good thing for the South to have emerged victorious-with the obvious consequences for blacks. A lot of "pro-Confederate' types don't have the balls to answer this question honestly.
They should also say if they support treason against the United States-which the whole Confederate experiment obviously was.

So do you, personally, think these Confederate protesters would have preferred the South to win, and blacks remain in slavery/a permanently inferior social/legal position?

I'm asking for your personal speculation-on the exact topic YOU started a thread about.

We obviously don't KNOW, but we CAN speculate. You posted a question of speculation, not fact in the thread title that you are unwilling to give an opinion on. I say yes, the Confederate protesters likely would not have a problem if Mississippi returned to pre-1960 legal and social norms. What say you to your own question?

It's funny. I see confederate flags when I go the center of the state. I live on the gulf coast, I have seen one and that was on the back of a truck before I even lived here . I've seen way more in Michigan than I have here.
It's a pride thing. Yeah, I know that's what they say in the South. It is what it is... I can say that as a transplant. Michigan and Ohio had a war. You won Toledo, Michigan won the UP. Did Ohio actually win that tradeoff? I won't say anything about Ohio, the UP is awesome.

I guess it depends on why you support the monument.

Exactly-and I have very strong suspicions about the motivations/true beliefs of said "monument' supporters.

That part of the country is a little sketchy on race relations.
