Asking a black man to pass by a statue honoring someone that fought to keep his ancestors in slavery as he goes to the courthouse to pay his taxes is wrong.
Just because "historically" we did it does not make it right.Asking a black man to pass by a statue honoring someone that fought to keep his ancestors in slavery as he goes to the courthouse to pay his taxes is wrong.

The primary purpose of statues is to note history, not necessarily to promote history.
They are put there as an honor. Museums are places we note history or history books.
Those Spaniards were some raping murderous motherF’ers.
They were some slave owning crazies and they destroyed the Aztec empire, yet we have statues of Conquistadors and Spanish Missions all over America and not one Democrat has complained about the feelings they may hurt...Weird huh?
Just curious to see why Democrats haven’t found a way to use this yet?
