Strom Thurmond (who had a black daughter), despite the chatter, was one of the most warm and engaging politicians of all time. As our culture cannibalizes itself, this Cultural Dissident just want to say that from personal experience. Now you may resume the destruction.
?
Really?
Try explaining this rosy, Revisionist arse bullshite to folks that were on the wrong side of Thurmond's Segregationist policies and Government sponsored racism
Try putting yourself on the wrong side of Jim Crow Laws, the wrong side of Segregation and see how much you love the warmth of ol' Strom
This ain't about "culture wars", it is about balancing the scales of racial justice from years gone by
What's really sad, is that folks like you aren't asking the obvious question; "why did we allow a bigot's name to be placed on a Bldg in the first place, surely there had to be high achieving non bigots worthy of such an honor"?

You make no sense.

You don’t name a building After someone or build a statue of someone to remember as reminder. These are honors.
And I am not for every statue being dragged down, but should we be honoring segregationists? What else is Storm Thurmond known for?
George Washington- first President, lead the IS forces in the American revolution. Pretty big contributions beyond owning slaves.
Compare that to a statue of Jefferson Davis or Robert E Lee.

I don’t disagree with Malcolm X entirely. We both hate the white liberal for example.

No it isn't. Most of this stuff is posturing, virtue signaling and other nonsense that ancillary to actually solving real problems or issues.
Right now its race to confirm your blackness or guilt depending what race you are. Get back to me when something is done that matters or a real leader emerges that people listen too. One that tells people what they need to hear not just what they want

Being a donor to and primary fundraiser for the very building his name is on.

Yeah doesn’t feel like that trumps you know being anti-civil rights, and a segregationist.

First of all, getting rid of these monuments to dirtbag, scumbag segregationists will finally allow the Country to approach AMERICAN HISTORY from an honest perspective, maybe by teaching American History in an open and fair manner that doesn't whitewash the sins of the past, many of them you think of as "great Americans
Examples like this one is why so many statues need to come down
Just maybe after we start teaching US History accurately, then we can move forward a build a race neutral or ethnic neutral society
After Edit: I just used the YT vid as an example, not to say that Thurmond was connected to the events, just an example of how History gets whitewashed

So let's go ahead and tear down every statue and monument honoring someone who lived prior to the Civil Rights era. Let's rename every building named after someone prior to the Civil Rights era.
MLK was a homophobe and an alleged rapist. Time for him to go. The Republican Party in 1860 supported deporting African slaves back to Africa. There goes Lincoln. Where does it end? Where does it stop?

That's all I said. I stand by that. He was warm and engaging. He actually LOVED at least two black people. Go figure. You know, the duality of man, life comes at you fast, and all that...
As for "racial segregation", "government sponsored racism",being on "the wrong side of Jim Crow Laws" etc.-THERE IS A REASON I DO NOT VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS. Learn your history Anger Baw.

We should literally never stop evaluating our history.
There is a difference between living in pre civil war America and pre-civil rights America and living during the civil rights era and actively opposing it.
That’s Storm Thurmond legacy and it’s not accidental. He’s not allegedly against civil rights that was his platform.
And while everyone needs to be judged based on their times, he was was regressive and racist by 1950s standards.

When my grandfather passed away, Strom called my grandmother and spoke to her for 15 minutes after the funeral. He was a master of constituent service and got a higher percentage of the black vote than any Republican today because of it.

I say rename whatever buildings you would like, but if I was the son or grandson of the person that gave the money for the building so it could be named for them, I would demand the money back with interest. It probably would not get anywhere but the threat of a lawsuit might just cause a settlement.

He may have been but quoting him to defend your own whitewashing of history is fricking moronic.

He switched to the Republican party in the 1960s.

What about the statues and monuments of antiquity that were built by slaves and stand as trophies to rulers and empires who committed unspeakable tragedies?
Let's tear down the pyramids, the Roman Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Great Wall of China and numerous others. I would also say the ancient city of Palmyra, but your statue-hating ideological cousins in ISIS already destroyed it because it offended the prophet.
