The Confederate Mega-Monument In Kentucky

     Like many people in Kentucky, I'm kind of ambivalent to racism. It's not that I don't care, or realize it exists, it's just that I don't think tearing down statues on the town square actually erases it, or makes it go away. Instead, I just don't really keep company with people who feel the need to hold others down, and I do my best to make sure the next generation realizes how retarded and antiquated treating people like animals or farm equipment is. In short, I'm not a virtue-signalling, social justice warrior, crippled with white guilt, that sees racism in a Mark Rothko painting. 

     However, I have uncovered a mega-monument to the Confederacy in my own back yard and have decided to not remain silent on the issue. Consider me a less retarded, non-conforming, anti-new-liberal ally. So yes, Kentucky, that state that didn't join either side, and especially Northern Kentucky, where the Confederacy once laid siege, pretty much ending any and all doubt about which side the area was loyal to, has it's own white people problem. Ladies and gentleman, I give to you, Colonial Manor Mobile Home Estates!

     Okay, you were probably expecting more. Well, no, you probably weren't. Colonial Manor Mobile Home Estates is a small subdivision that I know very little about, Hell, I don't even know how mobile home parks work, aside from the fact they are glorified trailer parks. But if I may digress, don't knock people because they can only afford mobile homes, especially this generation that wants to live in a 400 square foot shack, in order to be better for the environment, or whatever rich, white reason you came up with today. Poverty is hard to escape and these people are making the best of it, by still being ripped off by greedy land barons who sold them a shanty town. But how is this a Confederate mega-monument?

     The main road is Appomattox Drive, presumably named after a small town in Virginia, where The Battle of Appomattox Courthouse was fought. That was one of the last battles of the Civil War, where Robert E. Lee, CSA, also from Virginia, was defeated and surrendered. While you're arguing this doesn't automatically yell Confederate monument, the fact that it runs almost parallel with Robert E. Lee Drive should. Although in his defense, it's not preceded by General, so maybe it was the before or after version they are honoring? Connecting the two is General Stuart Drive, named after another Virginian, General James Ewell Brown Stuart, CSA. And if two streets named after Confederate generals doesn't confirm it for you, how about General Jackson Court, named after General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, CSA, also from Virginia. Now I know what you're thinking, that perhaps this naming convention is in honor of the state of Virginia. Which would make sense, sure, because we're in Kentucky. But then there's Jefferson Davis Place, named after the Kentucky born and raised president of the Confederacy, where he served in the state of Virginia. Now it seems like I've painted myself in a corner. I have in fact proven that all of these people are Confederates by way of the state of Virginia, and maybe it's just that someone got lazy, had a book on Virginia during the Confederacy, and started picking names for streets out of it.   

     Enter General Ross Drive. Who the fuck is that? Sure, I only know a handful of generals from the Civil War by name, most of which have streets named after them in Erlanger, KY's Confederate Monument Trailer Park. But either the street was accidentally named after General Thadeus "Lightning Bolt" Ross, who was probably in Captain America: Civil War, or this is just another Confederate monument like I assumed, this time named after the obscure General Lawrence Sullivan Ross, CSA, of Texas, and I found no connection whatsoever to the state of Virginia. Hell, he never even set foot in the place and he's not even on a list of Confederate generals I found, so I assume someone dug him up with a little research. In other words, Confederate Mega-Monument indeed!
