Digging Up A Dead Confederate .....

[GURPS]

..... Will Not Remove Racism

The group is led by Tami Sawyer, “a political leader, speaker, writer & activist for Social Justice and Educational Equity.”

Sawyer told WMC last week that she’s leading a boycott of the city’s famed 4th Bluff Park until the city removes statue of Jefferson Davis, and her group is urging the public to avoid scheduled summer events like “Downtown Yoga in the Park” and an art show until they get their way.

We are going to bring the back hoe, the tractors and the men with the equipment to raise Bedford Forrest from the soil of Memphis,” Isaac Richmond, a failed congressional candidate and head of the “Commission on Religion and Racism” told awaiting TV crews as he shoved chunks of grass and soil from Forrest’s grave site.

Richmond told CBS 3 that digging up Forrest, who died 138 years ago, would fix the city’s alleged problems with racism.

“If he’s gone, some of this racism and race-hate might be gone,” Richmond said, shovel in hand. “We got a fresh shovel full, and we hope that everybody else will follow suit and dig him up.”

How does anyone believe that stirring the other side of a racial problem will cure racism?
The more you stir it the worse it stinks.
That's a fact.

Yeah but you're dealing with people here who were the kids that start the fork in the electric socket.... and more than once.

They're not the brightest bulbs and they don't learn.
