Confederate monuments beware, it looks like your reign of terror across this nation is coming to an end. The violence in Charlottesville started due to racist white supremacists being upset over the proposed removal of confederate monuments. And now their murderous actions have had the opposite effect as other cities are calling for confederate monuments to come down.
Citizens in Durham, NC couldn’t wait for a lengthy political debate and took matters into their own hands and ripped down one of the relics of America’s ugly past.

You will notice here that the protesters were mostly white, and it may signal that white people are finally fed up with the racists that continue to stain the country. Erecting monuments to honor men that fought for the right to enslave and torture other human beings is something that has always been wrong. After the Nazi’s were defeated in WWII, they were tried as criminals and traitors and their symbols were banned. They were not honored with statues and monuments. For America to heal, these symbols of oppression and evil that overlook our parks and public places must be taken down. It is the right thing to do.
