Two people arrested for toppling a confess rat statue in North Carolina, see in court, both making first appearance, charged with among other things Disorderly Conduct and insight ago riot. Well, the war over those kind of memorials and statues has dominated a conversation ever since the events that happened this weekend. Which one should stay, which one should be torn down, this is a conversation all around this country. And our hank flynn went to georgetown, dead wear, where a confederate memorial stands. Doesnt bother me at all, that flag being there, what bothers me is how people react to it. Hey, it is hank, in georgetown, delaware, still not hearing the conversation i need to hear, believe me, i understanded the sound, the fight and the fury over some of these confederate memorials, my take is people need to start thinking with theyre motions and start thinking with their head. He says he doesnt mind the stars and bars flying at the nearby confederate memorial in georgetown. The hatred attached to that flag by people like the nazis and chance men, last weekends ooh the night the right tragedy in charlottesville, thats another story. Remind me of people that represented, well, this is war, this is my ancestors, but just too much hate tide to the flag. Right . You know, thats what i dont like about it. It is a fine line between memorializing historical figures, and honoring them, especially ones who fought in defend of slavery. No one sweating those details these days, as birmingham boards up its memorial baltimore removed several last night, the list goes on. This georgetown memorial was erect in the 2007, and jeff plumber of the delaware grace graze wonder if confederate memorials come down, where does it end, and who makes the call . Im sure you can find something wrong about any monument in this country. Just depend on who is doing the disecting. And when you take a monument down, you rob future generations of knowledge, of learning, about their history, and everybody loses. You become a nation without a past. I agree with that to a point. I actually enjoy reading about some of the worse moments in world history, call me crazy. And that memorial is on private grounds built with private money. So probably safe, but then, im not looking at the memorial from the perspective of someone whose ancestors were enslaved. I did not know. Did i not know. Did not know that georgetown has a confederate memorial. He does now. He doesnt like it. And he doesnt see how he can tolerate any confederate memorial. No, i think it would be offensive to black people, i really do. I dont feel that is a situation that is not. I feel like it just need to be struck down. I hear you. I dont agree 100 , but i dont disagree 100 either. I just know black, white, who ever you are, this is our shared history we are talking about ugly as it might be. We owe it to ourselves to use our heads to solve this problem together. Scenes like debockle last weekends only serve to lower us all. Im hank and thats my take.
