That survey matches pretty much the survey in the title of this thread.
Majority rules, let's move on to something important.

As a Northerner (New Yorker by birth, Philadelphian by choice) I can't believe you guys are comparing Robert E. Lee to Adolf Hitler.

Sheesh.

How do the people in NEW ORLEANS feel about it? What do NEW ORLEANS city residents feel about it? Let them decide.

Maintaining this "chip on your shoulder" will distract you from a good and meaningful life.
The futility of it surely must frustrate you.
And I'm sure you'll want to pass this anger on to your children so they can be angry as well.

American history has distracted me from the perspective of being white in this country.

I will teach my children what was not taught to me in American History 101, as well as World History.

Facts are facts and America has never been great, despite me being subjected to 25 years of propaganda and "patriotism."
