Here’s a short 2 and a half minute Youtube video that’s relevant and informative.
This timeline shows confederate monuments are about racial conflict
For those of you that don’t want to watch (of course, some of it is meaningless without having watched the video for the full context);
This makes it pretty clear that these monuments weren’t just trying to ‘celebrate history and honor the noble Confederacy.’ They were erected to scare and intimidate black people, plain and simple.

I found this thread to be incredibly informative on the subject. All of Georgy_K_Zhukov’s posts about it are worth reading.

That’s as ridiculous as comparing taking down a Confederate statue and the Jefferson monument. Give me a break.
why is it ridiculous? Jefferson was a slave owner. People argue the Confederates were traitors. Guess what England thought of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and John Adams in the 1760’s? I guarantee you they thought of them as traitors.
What country do we live in again?

When black and white men are being sold to black and white men.
fixed for accuracy.
Doesn’t matter if it’s pretend or pretend football or pretend pretend football or if there’s also white men being pretend sold. Your other examples are ridiculous. No one thinks “black slavery!” when a horse is bought at auction.
What about a charity auction where the highest bid gets a date with an eligible bachelor/bachelorette?

So why would you care what England considers traitors? And why don’t you care what we do?

You can visit the English home of that traitorous kite flyer in a thunderstorm Ben Franklin among other things. 😉

Very interesting read. I’m actually subbed there, but I must’ve missed that post, so I’m glad you pointed it out. There does seem to be a very clear shift from honoring fallen soldiers to wholesale romanticization of the Confederacy. Personally, I have no problem with solemnly honoring the fallen soldiers, but I think it’s wrong to try and honor the Confederacy as a whole. Whether the war was fought solely over slavery, or slavery was just one aspect of an overall disconnect between the North and the South; it can’t be denied that slavery did play a part in the war, and the Confederacy was on the wrong side of that issue.

I definitely agree.

Doesn’t really matter if the people being “sold” include people of other races. The imagery of a black person being auctioned off in and of itself is the problem. If the ad had been entirely white players, it wouldn’t have been an issue.
None of your other examples involve a human of a minority race with a history of being sold as slaves. Auctions themselves aren’t the issue.

Hate to be that guy, but technically all races have been sold as slaves at SOME point. I agree that it is a harmful image to have black people auctioned. But not because they are black. But because racial tensions towards black people are still (at least) moderately high, and not enough time had passed. Hopefully as more time passes racial tensions will be a thing of the past and this sort of thing will be seen as what it honestly is, an innocent game, but for now, and rightly so, it’s still a sensitive subject.

In Tucker “Bowtie” Carlson news, there’s this:
https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/901465286200750080
@TuckerCarlson: “If the [@NFL] owners are racist, why are 70% of their employees black?”
https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/901441758206324736/pl/2nuzbbjThEt1eY2H.m3u8
And in other news of Antifa and punching Nazis, I want to ask a couple of questions: Is it okay to be violent when protesting against white supremacists?
Is it okay to kill them?
