A monument of a Confederate soldier sits at the entrance of a North Carolina county courthouse. It violates the Fourteenth Amendment, a group says.

    “Confederate Army Lt. Col. William F. Beasley gifted the county the monument in 1902.”

    Barely 100 years old? Fuck it, tear it down. You don’t memorialize the losers in a Civil War.

      Yep. Doesn’t even have historical significance. It’s just another of those Jim Crow statues meant to oppress black people after slavery ended. Fucking NC.
