And this is coming from someone who believes confederate statues should come down

I think we won't have unity until all traces of slavery are relegated to the history books and museums.

We cannot have proper tradition when that tradition is tainted by the remembrance of slavery.

Nope, Americans have never been 100% united about anything. A black american can live where there are no traces of slavery, and be 100% on The Democrat Party Plantation. People who are obsessed with slave history get more triggered from this than a confederate statue or the national anthem.

Of course I wasn't talking about 100% unity. We are never going to have that.

Once however the Republican Party embraces the diversity of this country rather than campaign against it, our country will be much better off.

How about this -

Black people and SJW's (as a whole) are never going to be happy or satisfied. There will ALWAYS be something else to cry about. They lose purpose once they are no longer "victims" in their minds.

As long as the Democrats tell them that they're victims and keep them in poverty, it will always be that way. Tearing down a statue or changing the National Anthem isn't going to make them happy.
