[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] Victors in war always get to write history by obliterating the monuments and icons of their enemies. The issue concerning Robert Lee's statute and other Confederate(meaning "federated" Southern States} seems to mean that the Civil War is not yet over. But Native Americans could make the same argument against the Stars and Stripes flag and U.S. monuments as opponents to Confederate symbols are making. I would seem that they could vehemently oppose the idea of the U.S. flag on the grounds of the westward expansion of the U.S. from its original 13 colonies all the way to the western shoreline of the U.S. The statues and monuments they might want to destroy would those of President Andrew Jackson because he was the instigator of the "Indian Wars" that fought and defeated the Native Americans and drove them onto Reservations. The Americans of Japanese descent could also demonstrate publicly to have all monuments of FDR destroyed because he had them incarcerated in camps because of the WWII war against Japan. The article above discusses the issue of the costs in having Lee's statues removed on account of the fact that he is seen as someone who fought to maintain the enslavement of blacks in the Southern slave states. But perhaps the most egregious and living embodiment of slavery in the U.S. are the names of the long dead slave owners who imposed their titles of ownership of the captive Africans with their own personal names. Yet, the names of Jefferson and Washington are seen as legitimate and honored as ex-Obama official, Jeh Johnson claims. On the basis of probability, there would be at least one African American with the name Robert Lee. What should he do? Or the thousands of blacks who carry the names such as Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Byrd, etc. The same applies to the French, Spanish and Portuguese slave-owner names that blacks in the Western Hemisphere carry. Do blacks who carry such names endorsing white supremacy? [/QB][/QUOTE]
