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.

Well, Here Come the George Floyd and O.J. Military Bases. Vandalizing Confederate Statues Is a Hate Crime.

MARCH 3, 2021

**  A tiny NC   mountain town is addressing  its big Confederate past.  (Sylva, N.C.)

**  Texas voters' views  shifting on abortion, pot, gambling and Confederate monuments, poll finds.  (Half of them would leave Confederate monuments where they are, either as is, or with historical context.  I doubt that the BLM and their supporters are going to be too keen on having people vote on keeping the statues after what happened in Virginia in November.)

**  Commissioners tasked with scrubbing Confederate base names sworn-in at first meeting.  (Let's hope that not every renaming will be for a black person, but fear that is exactly what will happen in today's climate.  I can even foresee a George Floyd military base in our future.  Probably an O.J. one as well.)

**  Confederate-era  statues vandalized  at Atlanta's historic Oakland Cemetery.  (I se BLM is getting a jump on the spring riot/hate crime season.  Again, that is not a simple case of vandalism when they do it, that is nothing short of hate crimes and should be prosecuted as that.)

**  Confederate  monument protests mirror St. Augustine's  Civil Rights struggle in new exhibit.  (Florida.  A very prejudiced artist.)

**  In Alabama, a vote to keep Confederate monument protections.  (A win for us of sorts.)

Confederate Monuments Coming Down Fast and Those Not Coming Down Have Been Severely "Vandalized"


June 3, 2020

**  Confederate monument removed  after Birmingham mayor's vow to 'finish the job.'

**  Confederate monuments come down:  Alexandria statue removed, as 'Black Lives Matter' written on others.  The statue was of a Confederate soldier and it was taken down by its owners, the UDC.  This article has an update of other anti-Confederate actions taking place around the nation in the wake of the George Floyd murder.

** Protesters in some cities target Confederate monuments.   Another list of monuments that have had hate crimes committed.

**  Mobile cleans vandalized Confederate statue, Birmingham removes theirs.  The statue was of Confederate Admiral Raphael Semmes, commander of the famous cruiser CSS Alabama.

**  Confederate monuments coming down around South amid protests.  (Also the statue in Norfolk, Virginia, was "vandalized."
