If one wanted to see the exhibit, one could go see it. I want to get drunk and go see the statue at 3 am, maybe hang a pair of panties over it's head. Which museum allows that? 'Cause if folks are intent on censoring it away from public view, that's the museum I'm gonna need it to be in. .

It is removing information from the public eye. I personally don't see a difference. To me it is just the left wanting to white-wash their American history. Much like they have already done in our public schools. So we can certainly agree to disagree... but I see an agenda unfolding.

The difference is that you choose to read a book. You're free to do so. You should also be free to view a statue of an advocate for slavery and a traitor to his country, if you want to. I should be free to not do so. Put it in museum. I don't see the problem.

Well Phage, it looks like my cloaking device is working, and you don't know where I live - there's not a museum within 150 miles of here, and certainly none for a much greater distance that is open at 3 am.. We do have a few of those nefarious statues that come to life in the night time to enslave black folks, though. I don't go to the library, either - I keep what I need to read close to hand, or have it delivered to my mail box. I dunno if any of those statues would fit into the mailbox, though... ... but censorship is censorship. Once they get rid of the statues, the books in the mailbox will probably be next. .

Maybe, if you're lucky, your town will have a Mapplethorpe exhibition at city hall. Uncensored.

Uncensored. Not likely - folks around here think Mappelthorpe is some kind of syrup. And we don't even have a City Hall, just a County Courthouse. .

Tell students in school that they can choose to read the book or not and still pass the class. So for you, all statues torn down thus far are of people who advocate for slavery and are traitors to their country? Like that TOTAL stain on American history, Gandhi? And when do these statues get the time to advocate for all these things? Do they come alive at night and do a meetup? And once again, please point out for me anywhere in our laws in the United States that you HAVE the right to not be offended, so destroying property is the proper response?

Sean King is one of the whitest black fellas I've ever seen virtue signal - he's next level bullshit.

Exactly Correct, In My Humble Opinion RE: The difference between a book and a statue - Antisthenes - 06-23-2020 I guess if we're discussing the Confederate effigies which would seem to be the lion share of what's being destroyed, my opinion would be if you want the thing on private property then that should be your right and business. But it also seems out of place to have them on public prooerty. I mean, they were seditionists so why would we have their presence on Public grounds. I can think of no other Country that has Statuary or Portraiture of people that commited treason against the present regime. I mean, I don't see any statues of the Shah in Iran?

I'm curious as to the route you took to work out "treason" and "sedition" - aren't those crimes committed against one's OWN government? The Confederacy was not the US - that's why the US invaded them. . RE: The difference between a book and a statue - guohua - 06-23-2020 OK grabbing my popcorn, this is about to get good |
