Why is there no press about what the majority of Americans feel about the removal of Confederate monuments?
I found one independent survey, conducted in January, in the state of Louisiana. Of 1,001 people surveyed, 73 percent were opposed to the removal; 88 percent of whites and 47 percent of blacks.
My guess is a large majority across the nation are not in favor of the removal.
Should a seventh wonder of the world, the pyramids, be taken down because they were built by slaves? Where will this end?
Why are we not condemning those who are tearing down and defacing our monuments? Why is it okay for them, but we condemn those who do not want them removed?
We suggest that those demonstrating against the removal are all white supremacists or neo-Nazi.
