Statues are public decorations, not history. History is in the history books where it belongs. Decorations that offend half of the viewers are not good decorations.

To Trump’s point, where does it end? Same logic Islamists use to tear down statues in the Middle East.

The winning team generally tears down the statues of the losing team. We just don't like who won over there (for awhile).

This might be a statement of reality, however I don’t agree with it. Also, some of these statues remain for thousands of years until SJW’s (which is essentially what Islamists are) start this cannibalistic trend. There’s no end to it.

Why should there be an end to people wanting to stop celebrating slavery or similar injustices?

Because by that logic we should destroy all the monuments of ancient Persia, Greece, Egypt etc. that’s exactly the Islamist logic. It’s persuasive, I just don’t agree with it

False. The logic is that each situation is different, and local people can decide how to decorate any way they choose. Sometimes popular opinion evolves.

I personally believe that history is told not only by books. Tearing down reminders of our past devalues us in a cultural sense. Seeing a statue of a Confederate general does not make a sane person wish to see a return to slavery, but it might make him recall the horror of it.

No one makes the claim a statue makes us prefer slavery. The claim is that they offend. That is objectively true.

Yes, it matters. It is one of the variables.
