Are these UDC members the white supremacists who put up all those racist monuments BLM has warned us about? How about those Confederate veterans above them? Some mighty desperate and despicable folks if you ask me.

Protesters Target Confederate Statues in Some Cities-- Part 1: Mississippi, Charleston and Raleigh


From the May 31, 2020, Politico, AP.

Protesters marching about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis also attacked Confederate statues in several cities.  Monuments in Virginia (no surprise there), the Carolinas and Mississippi.  I haven't read the whole article but am sure those "people" in Charlottesville got a chance to spew forth their racist hatred as usual.

The words "spiritual genocide" were sprayed on the Confederate monument on the University of Mississippi campus.  In Charleston, S.C., the base of the "Confederate Defenders" monument was defaced with "BLM" and "traitors."  I have written a lot about this statue in my Civil War blogs.

In Raleigh, N.C., the Confederate monument at the state capitol was marked with an "X" and a shorthand  for a phrase expressing contempt for the police.  The word racist was also written on the monument.

I wonder if these persons committing the looting and hate crimes know that they are doing a whole lot to reelect Donald Trump.
