Because they don’t teach history in our schools like they used to, these folks were probably unaware that while Jefferson did own slaves, he also freed them, long before Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.
 
It does not matter that he freed him to many. He was a slave owner and that is enough. In Boston they want to take down Lincoln, apparently it is the way the statue is portrayed.

So, when does this madness stop? When we haven’t any statues left? When we no longer have a history in the eyes of future generations, born into a country without any representations of how it began, how it evolved, and those who made it possible? For crying out loud! Some of our historical figures were downright interesting as people. Reading about them is interesting. Do we want kids in the future to miss out on the experience of learning about them? Where will be our foundation, for them?

Aside from all of that, defacing and vandalizing public property is wrong in any case. And it’s selfish. Those who do this are depriving others of the enjoyment of viewing these monuments, who might have a different opinion about them. They think only of themselves and their own point of view.

They will not tear down Che, or Lenin. This isn’t about racism. It is about destroying western civilization.
Only anti-rights fascist/communists would tear down a statue of the author of the greatest single statement of rights Ever penned by a human being.

Sure they do. Then in college they’re are taught to hate western civilians in favor of fascist communism.
 
Since they are tearing down the statues of our heroes, it is time to make some new ones.

It never stops. I live in Boston and I’m disgusted by this. Lincoln loved all mankind and races. I see the statue as a free slave looking up in appreciation towards Lincoln.
 
There is no reason there is so much destruction with spray paint that they are just removing everything.
This is John Greenleaf Whitter, an abolitionist, located in Whittier California.

These people act like animals; their parents should be locked up for doing such a **** poor job of raising normal humans. Glad they aren’t likely voting for my candidate. I’d be embarrassed to share anything with them other than my species.
 
Once again, the ignorance of these people is showing. John Greenleaf Whittier was an ABOLITIONIST. That is, he was ANTI-SLAVERY! If these vandals had just learned a little about the people these statues represent, they would have known this. Unless, as I more strongly suspect, they just don’t care and are out to destroy anything and everything that represents our history.

Is there a chance the spray paint can be safely removed?

He wasn’t that bad, didn’t own and rape as many human beings as other slave owners.

No, just when the bad ones are gone.

This is always such a weird argument, the people erasing history are the ones trying to sweep evil crimes under the rug, not the ones justifying their protests with actual history. The reasons people want these statues removed is because they are very aware of how the country began, how it evolved, and those who made it possible.

No one’s advocating burning history books, they’re advocating expanding historical education beyond the whitewashed version most American children receive.

“I will say then, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters of the negroes, or jurors, or qualifying them to hold office, of having them to marry with white people. I will say in addition, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I suppose, will forever forbid the two races living together upon terms of social and political equality, and inasmuch, as they cannot so live, that while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior, that I as much as any other man am in favor of the superior position being assigned to the white man.” - Abraham Lincoln
 
Fascist communism is a bizarre philosophy found only in US politics.

I wouldn’t bother telling this to JonNC, but surely you’re aware that “fascist communism” isn’t a thing? Most of the people tearing these statues down are probably more “Progressives” who vote for the Democratic Party than they are communists.
 
When it comes down to the end result, that being government power takes primacy over individual rights, there is not an ounce worth of difference between the two. Both are statist. Both are responsible for the murder of millions of civilians in the last century.
If Americans fail to recognize that both are evil and will destroy our freedom, one will come to power. Put them in the same box. They belong together.
