MEMO FROM MIDDLE AMERICA: The SPLC Still Whipping Up War On Confederate Monuments—Where Is This Hatred Headed?

Via Billy

Last night a far-right extremist group vandalized a statue of George Floyd in Brooklyn. A racist, loathsome, despicable act of hate.

The City Cleanup Corps is repairing the statue right now and a hate crime investigation is underway. We will bring these cowards to justice. pic.twitter.com/mTwzwIyG4z

 New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was hysterical

The contrast with the reactions to the orgy of vandalism of Confederate statues—some of which are sculptural masterpieces—is breathtaking. Thus Virginia Governor Ralph Northam did nothing when Black Lives Matter rioters vandalized Antonin Mercié’s magnificent rendition of Robert E. Lee in Richmond. The war on Confederate images has just begun—and with it, the war on white America.

For the record, I’m not a neo-Confederate. My Union Army kinsman, James Dunlavy received the Medal of Honor in 1864 for capturing Confederate general John Sappington Marmaduke. Still, I recently learned I have other kin in the South who did support the Confederacy. Like many Americans, I had family on both sides. For me, this war on monuments, now including The Great Emancipator himself, is a war on my heritage, and that of all Americans.
