Those pins were not produced by the campaign, your disingenuous ass.

As for your previous stupid post, Van Vorst did not take up arms against the Union to maintain slavery.

People like you should be ashamed of yourselves, drawing equivalence between traitorous rebels that killed more Americans than the Nazis with other figures that have something else going for them besides being Confederate generals and leaders.

Scum like you deserve the scorn you get here.

Forget the subway symbols, we must destroy the graves of Confederate generals. Dump their evil remains into the ocean.

Well you have to be stupid and obviously "sightless" not to see the hidden symbols glorifying grand old antebellum days of the South.

Can only imagine the emotional angst triggered by looking at this despicable image.... sorry MTA, they have to go!

And so did the Patriarch Abraham. Timing is everything, something racists can't seem to understand. There's a big difference between owning slaves when that was the normal thing, and seceding from the US and fighting for the right to hold people in bondage.

So this is where these antifa/communist/radicals are headed??? Delegitimize the founding principles of this country, ignoring the positive legitimate and legal progress with laws like The Emancipation Proclamation and The 19th Amendment.

Beside their #1 choice, total Anarchy, the only way to install the political correctness orthodoxy in a free society is by installing totalitarian and fascist regimes like Venezuela/Cuba or theocracies like Iran or Indonesia that can control free speech and thought.

Outside of leftist street violence and physical intimidation of people with an opposite views.... what do they intend to put in place of the Constitution or our Bill of Rights that they abhor that they claim is founded on white supremacy???

At this point, they can't use the word govern.... because they only want to live in a Utopia via "benevolent" dictatorship... and we know how they ended up with Stalin and Mao.

Cornelius Van Vorst had slaves. He also gave the rest of the farm the the village of Van Vorst which later merged with the City of Jersey City for a park. Do we rename the park? If we do I am sure his heirs which still exists might want the land back. Some Van Vorst family members were around in the 1950s.

It should be noted that the ONLY reason that the confederate flag is emblazoned on the Mississippi state flag is due to racism (History of Mississippi state flag). They didn't start with a flag containing a flag that represents secession.

The reality is, white supremacy in all its forms needs to be wiped out. There is no place for racism.

Did we leave up the statues of Saddam Hussein in Iraq because of "history"?
Did we leave up statues of King George when declared independence because of "history"?
Do the Germans have statues of Hitler up because of "history"?

Paying homage with a public statue to people that fought for the "right" to own other human beings is unacceptable. The place for such things would be museums notating the dark history and their repugnant cause.


"Did the USA lay down when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor", Yawn...

I think you need to exam all the state flags and emblems because there are many instances of dare I say "cultural appropriation"... you can start with Arizona and New Mexico.

LET THE PURGE START IN NEW JERSEY! http://www.nj.com/salem/index.ssf/201 ... ey.html#incart_most-read_

It really seems like the US is experiencing it's own version the Communist Chinese Cultural Revolution and you have to wonder about the extremes people will go to cleanse all vestiges of white supremacy, real or imagined.

The British flag honors the caste system that is the monarchy! Take down the Hawaiian flag! We shouldn't honor a system where you have to bow or curtsy to a monarch!

Hmmmm. I'm fairly certain Hawaii did not exist as a state in 1812. Let me check on that and Cat back at ya.

I get very uncomfortable around talk of the War of 1812, why are you infringing on my safe space post 1812? Webmaster, please delete these triggering remarks about Hawaii.

This may be off topic and it might be quite boring, but can we talk about ferry service to Brooklyn or maybe someone can post an article about how NYC emerged as the economic powerhouse?

Get your head out of the sand. The desire for censorship is not exclusive to one particular ideology. Not by a long shot.


So sorry to disappoint you, but I taught in Catholic schools and students were taught real science including modern biology.

The Catholic Church, to its credit, has accepted evolution. Many conservatives, including ones who are on school boards, do not.

I.e. citing one exception does not disprove the rule.

But returning to my original statement, the State of NJ flag is ugly. Let's fix that first.

What??? Are you serious? Another version? I hate to tell you, but every state only has one state flag. You open it up so you can change one flag, then I guess you can change them all. Like that damn Hawaii flag. It has the British Union Jack on it. For realz???? Them damn British with their red coats!!!!

I'm not a fan of the Confederate flag, but I'm even more so not a fan of censorship. Replacing the official flag of Mississippi with some alternate version is a gross example of censorship of reality. You should strive to change the world you live in by making real efforts, not by closing your eyes, cupping your hands over your ears and screaming "la la la I can't see you!"

Grow up.
