    Looks like Mahatma Gandhi is next on the historical “racist” statue chopping block.

    Calls to remove 'racist' Gandhi statue

    Holding historical people accountable by the standards of today is dumb.

    Tearing down statues is all a maneuver to rewrite history.

    My guess is because Ghandi opposed tyranny, and these statue destroyers are tyrants in of themselves. Doesn’t matter to them what these people accomplished to build the present day. All they care about is that Gandhi held a few ignorant opinions in his time.

    Here is something from biography.com, who has him listed as an activist.

    I remember him as a pacifist.

    The Dukes of Hazzard is an American action-comedy television series that was aired on CBS from January 26, 1979, to February 8, 1985. The show aired for 147 episodes spanning seven seasons. It was consistently among the top-rated television series in the late 1970s, (at one point, ranking second only to Dallas, which immediately followed the show on CBS' Friday night schedule).

    All I ever knew about General Lee was it was the name of the dukes car.

    Going after the Churchill one is retarded

    Mofos would all be speaking German if it wasn't for him, and remember the Nazis wanted a superior Aryan race

    In the meanwhile the Dukes of Hazzard is about to get pulled from Amazon streaming for it's symbolism of hatred and violence towards African americans.

    As a young lawyer, Gandhi initially was a supporter of the British empire, and his earlier role was in gaining some political concessions for the Indian community in South Africa and India, while being loyal to the Empire and had faith in its system of justice. As someone who studied law in London, he was highly conditioned by the environment around him in terms of likes and dislikes, interests and prejudices, and took them upon himself without much critical thought.

    He was also more of a moderate in comparison to Indian extremists like Lala Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal who wanted total independence at those times.

    It was after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that he changed his moderate stance to that of total independence. He was, as stated, not infallible, and went along with British prejudices about the Africans in his youth. Later on, as he matured, he changed his stance about the Africans as well.

    He said in a speech at Oxford on October 24, 1931:

    “… as there has been an awakening in India, even so there will be an awakening in South Africa with its vastly richer resources –natural, mineral and human. The mighty English look quite pygmies before the mighty races of Africa. They are noble savages after all, you will say. They are certainly noble, but no savages and in thecourse of a few years the Western nations may cease to find in Africa a dumping ground for their wares.”


    Mandela was well aware of Gandhi's prejudices when he was young. He wrote in an article in 1995, “Gandhi must be forgiven those prejudices and judged in the context of the time and circumstances. We are looking here at the young Gandhi, still to become Mahatma,when he was without any human prejudice save that in favour of truth and justice.”

    I want to know who did that to the Thomas Jefferson Statue.

    They Tagged it BLM but I think that's a false flag.

    White people did this stupid shit.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    Tear the statue of the guy that said that.

    F retards.

    In 2014, ISIS committed an act of archaeological terrorism in Mosul when it obliterated the shrine of Jonah. Ironically, their vandalism uncovered another ancient shrine - one, arguably more significant.

    There are probably more whites in the BLM movement than Blacks.

    As long as you support our cause we invite you in to join us. Asians, Latinos, Indians, anyone...etc..


    As for Thomas Jefferson, he was the biggest hypocrite the world has ever seen, he often spoke out against slavery, yet he owned hundreds of slaves
