I want to throw up now.
The controversy of the 'Silent Sam' statue of a Confederate solder on the UNC campus was not placed by the will of the students, faculty, but a big donor 'Confederate Daddy War Bucks' Julian Carr owner of large tracks of land and many slaves, and a life long advocate and justification of slavery and racial supremacy, and bragged about whipping a black woman until clothing in shred and bleeding.Last edited by shunyadragon; 09-08-2017, 09:01 PM.

And an annual screening of a movie in Memphis about the "good ol' days" when the blacks knew their place does not fit into the category of wisdom and sensitivity in these troubled times.That's what

You're missing the point, dippy: you can appeal to "guilt by association" for literally anybody, - even Jesus associated with sinners - and the argument would be just as stupid.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Why not alternate it with the 1935 Nazi propaganda film, 'Triumph of the Will' directed by Leni Riefenstahl. That would pack them in at the Memphis cinema.
You know this do you? I wonder, did any criminals vote for Trump?
The point being your side's guilt by association fallacy is ignorant.That's what

Yes. I know this. My niece's RA at UVA in her freshman year had met Matthew on a few occasions near campus. We talked about what her RA told her about him shortly after his arrest.

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostNo. I am implying that your side is inconsistent in their outrage. Where is the petition to change the name of Duke University since its namesake was a slave owner, and its primary financier at the time was too?
