Speaking of horrible people, I also saw this on FB this week:

“These lives mattered! They went off to kill other people to make sure Black Lives Didn’t Matter!”

The only reason we let the South have their monuments was as a sop to their self-esteem after having their asses handed to them, after then took up arms for the most despicable cause Americans ever fought for.

These monuments are nothing but Participation Trophies, and it’s time they came down. It’s been 150 years. The South is all grown up now.
