Funny the bit about Affleck trying to hide his family history. I thought he was a douche after his appearance on Bill Maher. This is just the icing on the cake. What a tool.

*dead. Presumably run down by raving white males who insist something unintelligibly shouted at a group rally.

Only published or personal queue videos may be flagged dead - ignoring dead request by rich_magnet.

Only dead or deadpool videos can be deemed not dead - ignoring notdead request by newtboy.

If any of these people defending the statues think they are "preserving history", I would invite them to go to Germany and ask the locals why there are no statues of Hitler.

Although there are (hopefully) no statues to Hitler in Germany, to be honest, there is an ongoing debate about remebrance of the Wehrmacht and its generals by the Bundeswehr.
There are still some Bundeswehr bases named after Wehrmacht generals who fought in WW2. And there was a recent report about Wehrmacht paraphenalia (a small part of them clearly praising the Nazi ideology) in Bundeswehr bases.

But the main point in the debate about confederate memorials is that taking down statues or flags does not automatically state that every last Confederate soldier was personally fighting to uphold slavery. What those statues commemorate is what the confederate army as a whole were fighting for.

I wonder how many of the people who marched in Charlottesville and supposedly protested for a more diversifeid view of the confederacy (you see, I am not talking about the KKK, people here but the "Not all of those people were Neo-Nazis"-People) have the same thoughts about islam?
How many of them say "I think most muslims are not terrorists", how dare you take down statues of their generals and leaders?".
