#CONFEDERATE STATUES

Donald Trump tweeted dismay at the removal of Confederate statues, calling them ‘beautiful statues and monuments’ and said the history and culture of the US was being ripped apart. @Bill_shea19 tweeted: “I wonder how many descendants of slaves look on statues of Confederate generals and politicians and see them beautiful?” @freeblackgirl said: “If that’s the case, erect monuments for all leaders of slave rebellions. That’s history too.” @Laurie_garrett observed: “This Trump comment refers to statues of Robert E Lee Jefferson Davis, Johnny Reb & other Confederate icons. You know: defenders of SLAVERY.” @sharon_holbrook said: “Sad we still cannot remember that actually ‘our great country ripped apart’ by those who fought to OWN some of our beautiful fellow humans.”

My whole life has been a lie.” @rogerpsan queried: “Can’t believe the amount of people who didn’t know Vic Reeves was Jim Moir stage name. It’s never been a secret.”
