And why tennessee is vowing to rebuild it?
Its pretty hard to say that racism is dead when there is a statue to a guy pretty much only known for his racism, lynching encouragement and violent death trying to murder a business rival and people want to it to be rebuilt?

Throughout his career, Carmack was known to use his newspapers to attack rivals. During Carmack's tenure with the Appeal, his editorials began an interesting dialogue with another famous Tennessee journalist, Ida B. Wells. Wells, known as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement", was also not one to withhold her opinions and spoke out about the plight of African Americans in the post-Reconstruction era in the South. Memphis in the 1890s was a hotbed of racial tension, and lynching crimes were commonplace. Wells launched an anti-lynching campaign in her newspaper, Free Speech.


Sounds like a pretty average dude. Why are you leftists foaming at the mouth to destroy history and impose 1984 minitrue?

Napoleon was a nice guy eh, France's hero and we're not allowed (lol) to mention that lil emperor ^_^

In the mean time you're going nuts that the US had lots of slaves while it were European nations (including France -_- ) that brought said slaves to the US and your lil emperor Napoleon tried to re-establish slavery in French colonies after it was abolished.

I called you shit lord before but I take that back. You're in fact King Shit of Shit Hill.

removing monuments isnt changing history, its just choosing whether or not to endorse that history.

we have a choice to teach about Hitler and/or erect monuments to him. the two aren't inherently tied to one another.

if liberals were calling for this man to be erased from history books, to be maligned and talked about as if he was even worse, etc, that would be changing history.

Yes it is changing history. Youre just blind to the extent that the left is invading culture and academia. Leftists are in fact looking to malign and erase him, just look at what they do to Christopher Columbus. Nice job with godwins law

I imagine there was a reason for the statue beyond 'he was racist and tweeted mean stuff at that good black lady' but it seems more difficult to find it.

id at least be curious to see what was actually said in the exchanges beyond the black/white summary w/ no direct quotes.

After doing some more research I dislike him even more.

Sleazy politician that supported the prohibition of alcohol and apparently got killed firing on political opponents, but who knows what really happened there.

im well aware of and do not support actual historical revisionism, but removing a monument isn't historical revision. monuments are real time barometers for what the culture celebrates. confederate monuments fall, gay pride monuments rise. the monument coming down due to changing ideals is history to, why are you standing in the way of a historical event?

as to Hitler, i just use him for every analogy/example in pard by default.

You're just a lil French emperor 2020 version whose only purpose in life seems to be shit posting on the US. When people call you out for similar shit happening in your own country than it's France bashing / Whataboutisms / deflections and denials.

Be prepared to reap what you sow though, I will happily follow EU news and continue to call you out for it.
