Look, if the guy was black, would Ramirez make a list of “qualities” he was supposed to have? No. But because he’s white and young Ramirez can make all kinds of negative claims about him.
I don’t want anyone messing with statues or memorials either. But I know that we need to do something positive about race relations in America NOW.
PS – And an Xbox gamer score of 300? What a freaking loser! Ramirez, where did you get that number? Double your own? My old granny has over 3,000 gamer score on Xbox. She would OWN your butt on GTA!
There is the saying “Let George Do It”. When it’s ‘done’ who will say accomplished the task of equality? George Washington or George Floyd ? Asking for a friend as usual.
Good to see that you place high value on a chunk of metal representing some guy who died 220 years ago… yet place low value on someone who is actually living and suffering today.
You don’t care at all about America. You care about the myth of America. If you actually cared about America, you would care about Americans. Because THAT is what America is, 300 million people striving for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not a few chunks of metal representing dead people or a piece of cloth with stripes and stars on it.
This doesn’t really address the issue of statues. This only raises the question of what qualifications are required to allow someone to take down a statue. And that is a problem we see repeatedly; instead of making an argument, Ramirez chose to degrade the opposition.
Lots of Confederate statues were put up as propaganda by political groups.
The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) is an American hereditary association of Southern women established in 1894 in Nashville, Tennessee. The stated purposes of the organization includes the commemoration of Confederate soldiers and the funding of the erection of memorials to these men.
Back in 1964, the south fought against civil rights, but LBJ stood up and did the right thing believing that the south would turn republican once he signed the Civil Rights Act. He was right. They are still around. Same attitude, but living in a different house.
Meanwhile, Ramirez does support a draft dodging, inherited my fortune, 6-time casino and hotel bankrupted businessman who when asked to be a patriot Trump runs and hides in a bunker yelling “my bonespurs”. Yeah some of these protesters are just anarchists but can’t ignore the ringleader in the Oval office either.
There’s a lot to like about this one: The artwork is, as always, excellent. The appropriately androgynous wokester, the obligatory backpack, the “fashionable” $200 new/old jeans paid for by mumsy and pop…Outstanding, Mr. Ramirez!

What a hateful, backwards, marginalizing cartoon.

Your country was founded on racism and tax avoidance. I see nothing to praise about those days.

One man in his time plays many parts…why must he be labeled with just one flaw? First stone, anyone?

Leave the statue. Just put an informative plaque on the base detailing the good and bad. Erasing it from view hides the history and teaches nothing.

And yet you’re so afraid of that “luzer”… bone spurs acting up again?

They start by tearing down statues. They end by cutting off heads.

Sadly, truth and facts have no meaning to a leftist deconstructionist.
