Isn't tearing down a statue the same as burning books. You can't delete history without repeating it.

Funny you should mention books, that's a *great* idea of how we can get rid of offensive icons and still learn from the past! Well done!

Funny you should mention icons. Some of the local statues inspired me to read about history. Crazy how that works. Isn't it.

don't pretend as though their purpose isn't to glorify them though

Was there original purpose. Now they represent a mile stone in history. Good or bad.

as the article mentions, so would Nazi memorials in Germany. so you're saying they should've kept them? there's other ways to remember
-
I don't think they should be destroyed. They should be move to a museum.
-
a museum would be preferable yes, but regardless by leaving them in public spaces you're glorifying their actions

I'm communist? Hilarious! Only racists are sad to see racist statues go. The topic is racism, not Islam. Nice to see Baltimore get it right!
