When a day only has one or two articles, that doesn't mean there weren't others. I don't write about the ones that are new or that give other information.
JULY 21, 2021
** 'Never give up': Statue of Confederate general removed from Louisiana city after years of activism. (The good folks at SPLC. Lafayette, Louisiana. Actually, this years of activism are within the last few years. The statue was put there 99 years ago. Why wasn't it offensive back then and suddenly, "Woke, there you are?"
And, by the way, SPLC, we're still waiting on one of your lists to tell how many and where businesses were burned and looted during last year's BLM riots. Let's get to it, guys.)
** Residents speak out about removal of Confederate monument. (Greenville, North Carolina)

** Polk Co. commission takes sudden action to move Confederate monument out of downtown Bartow. (Florida. It will be moved to a cemetery.)
** Jacksonville schools renaming underway: Riverside High reveals new logo but nickname will stay. (Florida. Nickname is "The Generals." Formerly the Robert E. Lee High School.)
** Virginia plaza that once honored Robert E. Lee to be renamed. (Roanoke, Virginia. The statue there had a hate crime committed against it last year during BLM protests. Will be renamed for Henrietta Lacks, a black woman whose cells are important for cancer research who died in 1951. Again, a deserving purpose, but do all renamed places have to be renamed for black people?)
I'm Thinking SPLC Doesn't Release a "Hit Businesses" List Because That Might Make Their Side Look Bad. --Old Secesh
