And now it's a horse... You can't make this stuff up!
Traveler, USC's mascot, comes under scrutiny for having a name similar to Robert E. Lee's horse.

Just IMO but it's important not to overestimate how much thinking anarchists do. I had a buddy who started an anarchist resident -- a place where anarchists could go and live according to their ideals. It didn't work, and for a while he thought he could try again, but with more rules.

The major stimulus for a wider appeal of these leftists is the stated direction of the Trump campaign and now the actions of his administration. It's a crazy cauldron of actions producing an environment favorable for fascists and neo Nazi's to spew their filth. Likewise, that activity stimulates protests against them that right now are clearly involving and possibly orchestrated by anarchist groups.
It may be nothing right now but the potential for a nexus forming between anarchists and the goals of the liberal and conservative wings (particularly in their more extreme forms) of government could create the circumstances I wrote about up thread.
An overt or even subtle immobilization of established mechanisms of governance, including the Presidency, is what the journalists I spoke of above fear. While I think the actual fruition of such a thing is at the extreme, that it is even being talked about is unsettling.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

I'm a white male, born, raised and lived my whole life in the north. I'll be honest, I didn't even realize confederate statues of this type were even a thing until the last few years. They had no bearing on my life. When they did come to my attention, I was sort of perplexed about how/why they existed. The need for southerners to identify with people that rebelled against the country they claim to love was always confusing to me. And a lot of these statues seem to be in the heart of cities, where a larger % of black Americans tend to live. They get a nice reminder of the people who fought to keep them enslaved whenever they pass by. I can't imagine what that must feel like to see on a regular basis. Hell, I feel queasy enough when I see an old re-run of The Dukes of Hazzard.
Taking down these statues is the right thing to do if they are 1) Jim Crow era productions meant to intimidate; 2) placed in positions of honor in public areas. Move them to museums, civil war parks, etc. places designed to give them context and place them alongside their counterparts form the north. This whole idea of "erasing history" is literally one of the stupidest arguments in recent memory.
