Trying to erase culture and history is mega gay. I'd rather leave them to their expertise.

They are using force to tell us what is acceptable and what is not, and THEY decide, not you.
The left is better in this game, the right isn't as good.

There's a small window for attacking monuments, flags or in the end legislation this way. One has to have an act of terror or mass murder or something to the equivalent. Otherwise the forceful pushing of an agenda wouldn't be successfull even in the MSM. Nobody was attacking the statues before Charlottesville incident, and the Confederate battle flag (or the flags of the Southern States) weren't at all a hot topic before Dylan Roof decided to kill some black people in a church. I would call it shock politics: push your agenda as forcefully as you can when people are in shock.

Oh absolutely, the Left are Masters at this shit. Having the Corporate Media on your home team helps a lot though. The 'Right' is so much more diverse than the Left, so much more independent, that it makes it difficult to craft one cohesive message of the day.

Christopher Columbus monument vandalized in Baltimore

A monument in Baltimore to Christopher Columbus was vandalized overnight.

Baltimore Police said they were looking into the incident.

A video posted to YouTube shows a man striking the base of the monument near Herring Run Park repeatedly with a sledgehammer. Another person holds a sign that reads: “Racism, tear it down.” Another sign is taped to the monument reading: “The future is racial and economic justice.”

The narrator of the video, who says his name is Ty, calls Christopher Columbus a “genocidal terrorist.”

Yep . . . ol' Christopher Columbus will be on the chopping block shortly, I suspect.

“The future is racial and economic justice.”

People have been picking on him for years. Every year when Columbus Day rolls around there is a call to change it to something else.

Statue smashing wasn't as en vogue those other years though.
This year hooking ol' CC up to your Prius and pulling him off a pillar will net you mad likes on FB.

And hopefully an arrest like the folks in Durham that yanked down that Confederate soldier statue and have now been charged with a 4th class felony.
