Confederate statue at UNC Chapel Hill vandalized

The statue may be named “Silent Sam,” but the graffiti vandals sprayed on it was anything but quiet.

A statue called “Silent Sam” at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) honoring Confederate soldiers was recently graffitied with the phrases “Black Lives Matter,” “KKK,” “Murderer,” and “Tear it down.” The vandalism has drawn support from some students because they claim Silent Sam represents slavery rather than the deceased soldiers.

“Black Lives Matter.”   

“The artist responsible for this thing we like to call vandalism I think what they’ve done is not vandalism, they’ve made a major improvement to the statue,” Nikhil Umesh, a UNC student, told the local TV station WTVD.

“We understand that the issue of race and place is both emotional and, for many, painful,” Rick White, UNC Associate Vice Chancellor of Communications and Public Affairs, said in a statement. “We welcome all points of view, but damaging or defacing statues is not the way to go about it.”

Silent Sam honors UNC alumni who fought for the Confederacy as well as the 321 students who died in the Civil War.

UNC has been seized by one of the most virulent collections of communsts which exist on this continent. It is wholly unsalvageable.

Jesse Helms was correct when he said that we should build a fence around all of Chapel Hill (and Carrboro) -- ever square inch of the place is infested with militant marxists and flagrant sodomites. But the fence itself would not serve the purpose. It would simply serve to contain the virulence from escaping the firebombing which must come.

Anyone who finds this statement unnecessarilly harsh, hasn’t taken a good measure of the problems we now face -- what these monsters have set in motion, and what the consequences are; the death and destruction which are now unavoidable because of what they have done.

Every marxist and every sodomite deserves a horrible death -- for they have wrought the ultimate work of corruption. It ought to be horrible enough to cause even their likes to repent; for, while their lives here must end, there ought to be at least some small hope that they might truly repent, and make themselves acceptable before God in their last moments before Judgement.

But regardless, let the burning begin…

THEY HAVE BEEN WARNED

you are right and fences wont hold this bilge scum back, when you have garbage it needs to burned, it’s the only way to end this universities madness. the parents who send there children to this crap hole of a school are sick minded like the Bolsheviks are and need to have there head examined. LT the majority of these type people will never repent no matter what is said to them, there hearts are wicked and demonic.

No it should not. But those who desire to do the erasing, ought to be the target of it.

Because there has only ever been one reason for the militant desire to rewrite history -- to inflict tyranny upon an ignorant populace…

WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
