Okay, there's no point in sperging out over black people. No one knows who torched the statue yet, so just assuming "the niggers did it because they're racist" isn't going to accomplish anything.

Besides, nearly everyone's textbook knowledge of Lincoln is "he freed all the slaves". The last people who would go torching his statue are black people.

I for one am shocked to learn a white dude from the 1800's held racist ideas. Absolutely shocked.

If you had bad eyesight and never handled a 5 dollar bill or penny before, you might confuse a Lincoln statue for a Jeff Davis statue due to the facial hair and gaunt features, but that is a big stretch. Probably they just saw it was an old statue and got caught up in the destructive frenzy of the current national zeitgeist

I promise you the person who did this does not know who Davis is. That is some of the most gracious benefit of the doubt giving I have ever seen though, you gentle soul.

I have a feeling /pol/ is already on it.

For people who worry so much about their identity/history/culture being "erased", they sure seem to like erasing the history of others.

Can't wait until these morons start demanding that Lincoln's face is removed from Mt Rushmore.

They're already calling for Mt. Rushmore itself to be demolished.

No wonder they like ISIS and the Taliban so much. They both hate history.

I'm more inclined to believe it was some Nazi/alt-right moron who did it because he or she was pissed about the removal of all the Confederate statues in Baltimore.

I will never get how leftists can claim to be intellectuals when they want so much history revised and so much censorship. You just know that they would have set fire to the Library of Alexandria themselves if they'd lived in ancient times.

It's a shame when something that took a person hours, days, weeks, months, even years to create can just be torn apart because we're on a different mindset about it.

 

[Woodcutting bot]

drumpft was obviously crazy when he said that non confederate figures would be next after the confederates

These are truly dark times when ravaging hordes of people are allowed to deface and destroy art just because of how they feel. As a history sperg I am deathly afraid for the cultural artifacts of our nation.

We see it happening in third world toilets and think "never us". Yet here it is happening. I hope these dark times are looked back on as savage and pants on head retarded.

It's the South side of Chicago, geniuses. Englewood, to be exact.

https://statisticalatlas.com/neighborhood/Illinois/Chicago/Englewood/Race-and-Ethnicity

96.6% BLACK
0.9% HISPANIC
0.8% WHITE

According to the statistics of the area, most of the White residents appear to be 85 years and older. But I'm sure you guys are right, I'm sure it was those pesky Alt-Right Neo Nazi Confederate Sympathizer senior citizens torching a statue of Lincoln in the middle of niggerville.
