Watson is not doing such a good job trying to defend Confederate statues.
That's because he can't.
Because his employer's family is descended from Confederate top brass.
Confederates considered Africans and other non-whites as sub-human and fit for nothing but slavery, to be worked all day every day until they died, or if they ran off or didn't work hard enough were given twenty, fifty, maybe a hundred lashes so that the blood-soaked skin on their backs peeled off, or they were lynched from a tree. That's what Alex Jones' family fought for. Read Alexander Stephens' Cornerstone speech.
Most Confederate statues:
1. are mass-produced and made from plastic;
2. were erected when attempts were being made to disenfranchise and further oppress African-Americans.
