But if only we had talked it out a bit more... Do you see the problem?

The war ended 150 years ago. Today, we need to end racism, not the civil war.

Can you see the continuum though? That while the war ended they system fought on, enshrining discrimination into our laws and society?

Ending racism is a great goal, but it's like only looking for a vaccine while people are still dying from the disease.

And tearing down statues is like putting the diseased out of view.

Not to those affected by it. They're saying it's like cutting off an infected limb.

That would be true if that led to 5 limbs growing in its place like a hydra.

So you're saying that tearing down a confederate statue is likely to turn people racist?
