When blacks are protesting and demanding ALL statues, memorials, flags, etc. from the Confederacy be removed because they remind them of slavery and hangings then WHY would they want a memorial to slavery ? wouldn't that also remind them of slavery and hangings ? I find this memorial OFFENSIVE and think it should be taken down. Are blacks a bunch of PANSIES ? The Italians and Irish were also enslaved but you don't hear THEM crying and protesting over something that happened a couple hundred years ago. They want reparations (free money) for something done to their ancestors. Why don't they go to Africa, find the ancestors who SOLD them into slavery and demand that they pay them reparations. They would be laughed out of the country.....
