I don't mean why do they exist at all, I can figure that shit out. But, ya know, most of these were built in around the late 1800's/early 1900's when Confederate nostalgia was really booming (but before bumper stickers were invented, so you had to built a monument back then). So that gives you a good 100 years for someone to get in there and just really go to town with a sledgehammer. Obviously I'm too lazy, but maybe someone could do a kickstarter thing or something, I dunno, help me out Great Rumbler.

I feel like tearing down a monument would be a pretty awesome "in the moment" thing to do. Or maybe just peeing on it.

Post by: brawndolicious on September 26, 2013, 04:15:20 AM: Actually I think it's pretty good to have these still be around. It shows you how the discrimination is justified in people's minds. To them, black people were just faithful servants. Like a dog that can talk, but no reading or writing goddamn it!

Only the top one is kind of a tombstone. The other ones are just like "Hey, you know what was awesome? Slavery."

Here's a full picture of the bottom one, which is front of a courthouse:

Post by: Verdigris Murder on September 26, 2013, 06:19:21 PM: 'they' is the collective noun for slaves.
Feminism was fundamentally based around the abolition of slavery. And where did it get them?
Yep. Not very far.
