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.

Civil War II: Confederate Monuments, Court Decision and a Racial Epithet
March 14, 2020
** Confederate monuments are 'artifacts of collective pain.' (From Richmond Free Press, a black publication.)
** US district judge to rule on whether NAACP lawsuit against Hanover School Board will proceed. (Virginia-- Guess whose side he or she will rule in favor of here.)
** Foul: Racial epithet aimed at Armstrong basketball team sparks investigations.

Tennessee's Bust, NC Poll and Does Silent Sam = 3-12 Record for UNC Basketball?
February 21, 2020
** Panel vacancy delays action on Tennessee Confederate bust. (Bedford Forrest)
** General's bust in Tennessee Capitol draws passionate arguments on whether it should stay or go.
** WRAL News Poll: NC residents say keep Confederate statues. (Race and political ideology are major indicators involving the ongoing debate over what to do with Confederate monuments, such as Silent Sam at UNC-Chapel Hill.)
Nearly 2/3 of Blacks polled said the statues should be moved to cemeteries or battlegrounds or from public spaces altogether, while only 12 percent said the statues should be left alone. Another 14% said the statues should remain where they are, but context plaques be added.
By comparison, 45% of North Carolinians said the statues should remain where they are, and another 25% said historical context should be added. Only 23% said they should be removed.
10% who voted for Trump in 2016 say the statues should be removed compared to 58% who voted for Clinton. Residents identifying themselves as conservatives were twice as likely to want the statues to remain than those who said they are liberal. So, it is a Republican vs. Democrat thing.
I plan on voting for Republicans here in Illinois for most every position other than president. And, that is for two reasons. The first is this is the only way I have to show my contempt for the Virginia Democrats and secondly, to try to get Madigan out of being the Illinois Speaker of the House. I normally split my votes between the two parties. I voted for Clinton in 2016. I also voted for Obama in his second term as well as when he was running for U.S. senator from Illinois.
And, I am sure hoping Virginians can turn the Democrats out of at least one of the houses there.
** UNC promises that Confederate statue won't return to campus. (That would be Silent Sam.)
I can't help but think perhaps the way the school treats its history might have something to do with their current 3-12 basketball record. Come on, UNC with that kind of record? They used to be good. And, when it comes to major college basketball fans and since I am from North Carolina, UNC was my team. But, now with this Silent Samia epidemic I'm not so sure.
