Great news and excellent leadership.

Like other white racists, Lincoln should be next. He was not a savior but a collaborator, with real activists including the enslaved themselves, ending slavery. He was didn't act until he was forced to. Lincoln was the white man’s President. He should be torn down with the rest.

Go for it..knock urselves the f.... out over statues..🙄😂🤣

Fantastic.

State law forbids this, but these people don't care about law or democracy.

Go ahead and remove them. It won’t change the FACT that your ancestors were slaves bc they wouldn’t fight to stay free. You will always be slave descendants.
