The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They sure didn't have any nostalgia or mercy for the many, many, statues and memorials that were vandalized, disrespected, defaced, and destroyed by the peaceful activist protesters.

You mean all those statues erected by the Daughters of the Confederacy? I do have respect for some of the artistry and don't want them destroyed. We should keep a representative sample of the el cheapo busts they put everywhere. But I think honoring Forrest at Fort Pillow - tell the truth. The Confederacy murdered 300 black soldiers and Forrest let them, at least, it WAS his command. He did try and make up for it later, but, never forget.
