Can you change History? No. Can you change how history is observed and Celebrated? It happens all the time, and the right as well as well as the left do that to suit their purposes and agendas. It has happened and will continue to do so as long as there is humans.

I just get worked up on the issue, worse still there is still to this day racist comments aimed at Aborigines, those who make them I wish I could belt in the mouth I also get worked up when some in the Aboriginal community blame whites for all their problems. It goes both ways for me

Try to do your best :)

Sadly there are a lot of people who live with resentments. Even about stories that did not happen to them, but happened to their ancesters. The best would be to now fix all these resentments as good as possible. Everyday we would have to spend at least 5 or 10 minutes at home to think: "Have I done everything alright today?" "Would I have accepted what I've done to other people today, if they would have done that to me?" (Principe of reciprocity) If you answer "yes" to all these questions, then you are ok with your mind. But some people they agree to fuck other people, but they would never agree to be treated in the same way. That's what we call hypocrisy. Last edited by Roubignol; August 16th, 2017 at 01:59 PM..

Judge suspended for...
A judge in Gwinnett County, Georgia has been suspended for comparing those taking down Confederate monuments to the terrorist group Islamic State. There has been a nationwide push across the US to remove Confederate symbols from public squares.
“The nut cases tearing down monuments are equivalent to ISIS destroying history,” Judge Jim Hinkle wrote on Facebook Tuesday, the same day protesters in Durham, North Carolina toppled a statue honoring Confederate soldiers. Judge Jim Hinkle suspended: “The nut cases tearing down monuments are equivalent to ISIS destroying history." On Saturday, Hinkle had written that protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia were “snowflakes” with “no concept of history,” as they came to counter a rally of white nationalists who gathered to oppose the planned relocation of a statue to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. “In Charlottesville everyone is upset over Robert E. Lee statue,” Hinkle’s post said. “It looks like all of the snowflakes have no concept of history. It is what it is. Get over it and move on. Leave history alone - those who ignore history are deemed (sic) to repeat the mistake of the past.” That post was written approximately an hour before a car crashed into a group of counter-protesters in Charlottesville, killing a woman and injuring 19 other people. Police have charged the driver, who reportedly took part in the white nationalist rally, with second-degree murder source

I really can't believe this one. Via a Tucker Carlson video I've just heard that ESPN actually pulled a commentator from a College football game because his name was Robert Lee. Lee is Asian....that is Asian. Apparently he is not a 210 year old former Confederate General.
