Civil War II-- 554: People Who Hate Confederate Statues

From the August 13, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  Ky. mayor:  2 Confederate statues to come down after Charlottesville.  (Lexington)  Mayor Jim Gray is taking steps to remove statues of John Hunt Morgan and John C. Breckenridge.  Sorry mayor, though, you will have to change your last name because you-know-who wore that color uniform.  Mustn't offend anybody, you know.

**  Enough of the Confederate statues, the alt-right heroes and Trump moral ideology.

**  West Virginia group calls for removing Confederate statue.  (Charleston)  (Loss)  Statue of Stonewall Jackson on state capitol grounds.  And, you just know they will get their way.

**  Cherokee Triangle statue of Confederate officer vandalized following Charlottesville violence.  (Louisville, Kentucky)  (Loss)  Mayor asks Public Art Commission to prepare a list of any possible items connected to racism and slavery.  That way he can have them removed.  And here I was thinking that Louisville had been "cleansed" after the Confederate Memorial had been taken down.  This particular statue that was "vandalized" was erected in 1913 and is for John Breckenridge Castleman.

I just love the way the media calls the desecration of monuments "vandalizing" when it actually is a hate crime.
