Marjorie Taylor Greene tells Black folks to be “proud” of statues of their treasonous enslavers

Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed her disappointment that Black folks do not assume the identical approach she would assume if she magically remodeled into “Black folks.”

“If I have been Black folks at the moment,” she says on this video, “and I walked by a type of [Confederate general statues, I would be so proud.”

Here’s her full quote:

“I don’t want our statues taken down in our country. I don’t think you remove or erase history,” said the history-hating Greene. “So I do agree those statues shouldn’t be taken down. They’re part of our history. We should learn from our history. We don’t erase it. But that doesn’t make me a racist because I disagree. As I say, leave the statue up there. If I were Black people today and I walked by one of those statues, I would be so proud. Because I’d say Look how far I have come in this country. Look how far my people have what they have overcome. And these are good things.”

I wonder how Greene would like it if small museums were built around these statues to put them into historical context with signage describing the racist actions of the generals depicted in the statues?
