. . .I'm actually really unsure how to feel about it because of what the inevitable kickback will be.

If you want that statue to come down so fucking bad...just take it down.

What are the politicians gonna do? Put it back up? If there aren't a bunch of Confederate guys blocking the statue, we should just knock that shit down.

I'm proud of what the protestors in Durham did.
