HOUSTON - The starting point was a Facebook post by a group called Texas Antifa.
 
The post alleges the Sam Houston Memorial's so-called demise will begin on June 10.
 
Why remove it?
 
Other posts by the group explain its stance.
 
"Texans agree the disgusting idols of America's dark days of slavery must be removed to bring internal peace to our country."
 
Another post reads:
 
"After we have this one removed, we can then work on getting the 67-foot Sam Houston statue outside of Huntsville turned into parking lot gravel, and the forest renamed."

It's our history, good, bad and ugly. Screaming, crying and tearing down statues will not change that. You cannot erase history, no matter how big of a PC eraser you try to use. 4951

Antifa will be protesting at Hermann Park on June 10, 2017. In the other forums I frequent open carry groups and others are planning a counter protest and show of force. 4951

@CBP210: I would certainly like to know more about that.  I haven't seen anything in my Texas Conceal Carry group.

If Houston is taken down how about MLK etc.   Are we going to rename the streets too?If some had their way everything would be something related to Trump   Now that is a national disaster in the making! 4951

I think the best respose to the protest is to completely ignore them. No newscoverage, no people interviewing, no one watching, no counter protest, absolutely no rspose to them what so ever. 4951

What is so stupid about this is that those protesting have not learned their history. Sam Houston did not support slavery, and he refused to acknowledge the Confederacy.  If it were one of Jefferson Davis, it would make more sense. 4951
