I'm too busy laughing at all the people claiming to be patriots who are proving they'd rather stand up for people who committed treason against our nation rather then really be patriotic.
You should not laugh at getting an education...
After the American Civil War, no person involved with the Confederate States of America was tried for treason, though a number of leading Confederates (including Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee) were indicted. Those who had been indicted received a blanket amnesty issued by President Andrew Johnson as he left office in 1869.
President Johnson issued a general amnesty, and also, gave pardons to many individuals who engaged in rebellion.
Therefore, no Treason was committed.
If you want a reality check then look up William Mumford. He was found guilty of Treason for doing what you are calling for with tearing down statues and flags. He was hanged by the neck until dead for pulling down an American flag in New Orleans.
It's kinda funny that nativity scenes were removed and nobody complained. Anything Christian related God, Jesus, wholly spirit, Mary..... was taken down yet nobody complained. NOW some folks are starting to complain..... it's to late folks you should have spoken up long ago.
However, as time goes by, you will see how the left will direct their fury at American-- not Confederate-- heroes. They will apply their crazy insane PC standards of 2017 to eras past, and will be able to demonize anybody who has ever stood for something they don't like.
The statue of Thomas Jefferson was attacked Tuesday evening by protesters at the university he founded.
According to local media in Charlottesville, about 100 students, faculty and local residents shrouded the statue in black and hung a banner on it saying “Black Lives Matter” and that “White Supremacy” should commit a sexual act.
Others in the small rainy-night crowd carried signs reading “Thomas Jefferson is a racist and a rapist” and chanted “No Trump, No KKK, no racist UVa.”
The defacement came one month after riots over a white-nationalist protest against a similar shrouding by the city council of statues of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.
“One month ago, we stood on the front lines in downtown Charlottesville as all manner of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and neo-fascists swarmed the area,” a speaker told the crowd, according to the Charlottesville Daily Progress. “Two months ago, the Ku Klux Klan rallied in their safe space, fully robed and fully protected by multiple law enforcement agencies who brutalized and tear gassed peaceful counter-protesters.”
Tuesday night’s rally was officially a protest against the university’s failure to implement a series of demands made last month by the Black Student Alliance.
According to the Cavalier Daily, threats of violence began bubbling up at the latest protest when observers and counter-protesters began to take pictures.
The protesters began chanting “Stop staring! Start fighting!” at people watching them.
One man trying to live-stream the protest on Facebook said the protesters demanded his name and he asked that his video be shared as a safety measure.
“They asked for my name, told them I’m happy to talk. Please share! They’re coming after me for filming,” Tanner Hirschfeld posted in his own comment field.
There was no indication that police — either city or campus — tried to prevent or immediately undo the attack on the Jefferson statue, which is university property.

And not a single innocent bystander or city resident was mowed down by an automobile. Go figure.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson.

So let's see. The U. of Va. has 21,985 students. 100 of them are crazy enough to do this. That's less than 5 students per thousand. I'm not sure that means much.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

And the KKK has somewhere around 6000 declared members, in a country of some 300,000,000+ people. Do the math.

It is less than three weeks after my prediction. We'll see how things develop. This will probably be a widespread phenomenon by no later than next summer.
Maybe you should add up the neo nazis, white supremacists and KKK to get an accurate number of "declared" people that publicly admit to being racists?
Then consider like minded people that are smart enough to not actively align themselves with those groups. You've only touched on the tip of the iceberg.

I'd love to, but I don't know how.
Perhaps you have an idea?
Then, go ahead and add what percent of "non whites" (what that even entails I have no clue) despise/hate/disregard whites for the simple reason that they are white.
Or, better yet, we could agree that it's a small minority either way, and the declared KKK, nazi's, supremacists get no love from the vast, vast majority of this country.
As you post BS and want to see a foot come down to control people that had nothing to do with this.
