Are confederate statues participation prizes?

There's been a lot of criticism of allegedly libruhl policies like giving out participation prizes or non-competition in sports, safe spaces in education, government funding of just about anything, but when you examine the confederate statue issue, it reeks of these these alleged policies.

So, for example, the Confederacy lost. Still, they've put up monuments and statues, revering "losers." But, it's much more than that. The North allowed some of the White Southerners to create an alt-reality with their participation "medals" and "trophies." They put plaques up on the statues with words like "Honor," "Courage," and "Sacrifice," that not only are not true, but also apply more to others from the South and North than themselves such as members of the Underground Railroad. Abolitionists and slaves sacrificed much more and showed much more courage. How honorable is it really to support enslavement, murder, and rape of persons? We allowed these "losers" to go on for generations creating this alternate reality out of their ancestors.

Why do they need it? Fear. They are afraid that when their hierarchy has been removed, they will be replaced. They need parks and safe spaces to sit down in their alt-realities next to their plaques on their fictive kins' monuments to retreat from diversity and the World that has moved on...from the truth of history that their ancestral past was terrible...that what comes next involves Others.

And these Welfare Queens want government to continue funding their erected monuments with their alt-realities so they don't have to let go and face the real world.
 
Well, reality has a distinct liberal bias so right ringers do need to stay out of it as much as possible in order to avoid encountering trigger warnings outside of their safe spaces.
 
The really sad part is that there is so much more about Southern culture that deserves to be celebrated. The brief history of the Confederacy (and it only lasted a few years) is a stain on a society that had - slavery excepted - some redeeming qualities that have endured. Some of the greatest leaders of the American Revolution hailed from Virginia. Our greatest music came from Louisiana. Southern food is a far more important part of our heritage than any Confederate General. So much of our history and literature and arts and architecture is rooted in the South, but for some reason we've chosen to focus on those few bloody years of impossibly brutal bloodshed based on a lost cause.

Confederate statues (and that flag) are worse than participation trophies. More than a celebration of losers. They're blinding us from a full appreciation of an important part of who we are as Americans.
 
Confederate statues mean one thing "Niggers remember your place"

If you support the statues, then you support what they represent.

Yes, I think you have got this exactly right. It is a pretty good example actually. And we do need to divorce these phenomena from being seen only on one political side or the other.
 
The thing is these idiots never even noticed these statues or cared about them until some crazy liberals wanted to remove them.

These are not thinking people.

They are nothing but reflexes masking as humanity.
 
You have to understand how the "true" southerners feel about the confederacy. They glorify, idealialize, and canonize the people these statues represent. They are the saints who led their great holy war against northern aggression and oppression. And greatest of these saints was Robert E Lee, the right hand of God. And they would have won if the devil himself, in the guise of General Grant hadn't interfered. In their distorted view of the war, it was about their freedoms and religion. They have completely eliminated any belief that slavery was the real issue. And they believe that Trump is the new Saint who will reunite them and lead them to victory and restore white America to its God given right to subjugate lesser peolpes.
