Perhaps the Colosseum in Rome should be taken down. I understand some terrible things went on there.

There is a lot to learn from history & terrible stories may be more important than our triumphs. Don't erase history or it will be repeated

This is why they should be removed from the public square and put in proper context describing the horrors of the confederacy.

It may be history, but it doesn't deserve to be celebrated. Tear it down, put it in a museum or destroy it. It's racist.

I think the ? is, is it pride or is it history? We should not ignore our troubled past. But it doesn't mean all memorials are proud ones.

Intent is important. Do they relish in the slavery with it, or do they remember our counties divided past, as a way to avoid it again.

I'm no fan of the Confederacy but when do we get to stop pretending the Civil War was about slavery?
-
Slavery was essentially the only thing it was about. Have you even read the declarations made by seceding states?

So...if the Confederacy had won, would it be acceptable to destroy Union icons etc?
-
Do you not understand the difference between the two? Really?

Yes. Do you understand history? Do you wish to remove all memory of the vanquished ?

I am black and I don't agree with this. It is history and I find it sad that people find stuff to yell about unnecessarily
-
I am black too, both sides have legit arguments but it is a lot easier if u are a part of the so called "supreme" group history or not...

Look... there's a lot 2b said w/that, but it has nothing2 do with the statues. Ijs. I'm not kicking
@your remark, but it isn't the subject -
What.. Really? To each his own. They r writing slavery out of the history books but ppl can't understand why those statues r demeaning??
-
If so, then what's the point of removal, if it's not being taught? I understand your point... I do, but what's next, NUKE Mississippi?
-
Or celebrate the bigotry with larger than life imagery. History is important but is it nec to b reminded that you are considered less than?
-
I don't think it's an all or nothing solution. What better way 2show that systematic ignorance than to have it sitting there 2c?
-
Not sure what the best solution is but a museum is a good place to start...
