One question as a time. So you are obsessed with skin color and "racism"? True?

This is off, topic but I think a good solution to the confederate statue issue is what happened in Hungary after the fall of the Soviet Union. They didn't destroy all the commie statues. They moved them to a park--called "Memento Park" in English and created a sort of museum. There is an indoor portion of the park that is also very interesting where the run continuous clips of the recruiting videos used by the Hungarian secret police. They also have a lot of information about how evil and abusive the Soviet regime was in Hungary. It's very well done.
They also have a museum in downtown Budapest called the "Terror Museum" that is the old secret police headquarters that had now been converted into a museum. The basement of that place still smells like dead bodies. It's pretty creepy.
Anyway, by doing something like this we could not be accused of the modern day racists (i.e. Exthrower and those defending the statues as they stand now) of "erasing" or "changing" history. The statues could be moved and preserved and educational information could be provided at the site about how totally misguided the Confederacy's (and anyone who views them as a positive) goals were.
That would be a great idea.
Yes, this is a good idea.
And they all are mean and nasty
I should have been clearer as I was reading this piece on these two. "Bromance." I wonder if they trade spouses.

Who?
Do Southerns identify as Americans or Southerners first.
Someone please explain this thing they have for the confederate statues.
Seriously, their leadership resulted in a very deadly war.
I honestly feel like those who live in the South actually wished the South had won. If they could go back and change history they would have the South winning.
Am I wrong? Be honest!
Hawaiins takes the cake in this one; most unintellectual, backward, and, surprisingly, racist US state.
Correction: *Hawaii

Meanwhile down South it's all: "life moves a little slower here in texawhosit, Alabama." Yeah, ok. No wonder ya'll are being left behind by the economy. I don't want to hear any more of your bellyaching. Sit down, shut up, and enjoy your free ride off my tax dollars.
Also, try to be less racist.
P.S. we won the civil war, don't make us come back down there...
Who is this "we" you are referring to? You and who else? I'm not from the sound but the north wouldn't win it now.

Because they like to act like they are from NYC.

That is the French prime minister.
Also, Canada doesn't have a president - don't insult us like that.
No redo's, the USA won!And, you could never project who would win a war between the United States of America and Southern States (what side would all the northern transplants living in the south be on?)

Yes. People from the northeast US are a lot different than people from the West Coast at least. I have lived in OR for the past 5 years, grew up as a M@sshole and then spent 13 years living in NY (upstate a bit though, Albany area). More than a few people who don't really know me in OR (especially at work) think I am mean. Let's just say I don't think the Millenials are the only ones with thin skin..
I think the most perfect example is the one about people getting to the front of a long line and having long discussions about what to order and asking a ton of questions. To people from the East this is common courtesy, don't waste everyone else's time, you had plenty of opportunity to figure this out while you were waiting. And if you really don't know, do not get in the line if you will not be able to figure it out before it is your turn. It also shouldn't be an ordeal to order a beer, you don't need to taste 3 of them. The beer here is pretty darn good, really any of them will do, when I am waiting behind you please do not conduct a personal tasting seminar. I was in a Burgerville the other day and it took this couple like 6 minutes to figure out they wanted to order a hamburger.
I really think mostly it is due to minor differences, anything I do that is considered mean is really just how most people act back east and none of it bothers me (I expect the same behavior in return).
What happens when a northeast parent cross breeds with a southwest parent?
Is the offspring sterile?

I'm a Republican, Trump supporter, living in MD and work in DC. I live and grew up in an area that is primarily republican, rural, and the community does whatever it can to disassociate with liberal/crazy views. With that you have to commute 50-90 miles one way to get that. With my job I do a lot of traveling and the nicest people no matter what political party they are was the south preferably North Carolina. I also did work in Selma Alabama for a few days and I couldn't believe how nice people were there even with the exact opposite views. In my opinion, the bad attitudes, crazy liberal views that I have found primarily come from big cities.
People from NY, DC, Chicago generally have the worst attitudes.
I am starting to think that the Revolutionary War wasn't so much a victory but a mutual break-up. Listening to how you New Englanders act, I bet old Georgie the 3rd just cut your ancestors loose.
I was born on the west coast in las vegas!
but was raised on the east coast from 12 weeks old, i can say i dont fit in with anyone on the east coast alot of the people i became friends with moved here from west coast, and felt uncomfortable and hated the treatment, doesnt matter where u go or talk to on the east coast south or north there just gonna tell u straight up hatefull comments or stfu
