R&I NV — © Logan Cyrus/Getty Two men were recently seen threatening to vandalize the Unsung Founders Memorial at the University of North Carolina Chapel HIll. Pro-confederacy protestors receive a police escort through a shouting crowd to their vehicles after protesting where the “Silent Sam” statue once stood before it’s toppling last week on the campus of The University of North Carolina, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on August 30, 2018.In several videos posted to Twitter by UNC Anti-Racist Alerts, the two unidentified men can be seen carrying Confederate flags and sitting on the Unsung Founders Memorial.”It’d be nice to have a couple of slaves,” one of the men said in the video while making a whipping motion. “It’d be nice. I wish I had about three or four. Mow the yard, clean the house.”
The man then appeared to say that he planned to hire a Black maid “to piss off everybody.”
