Why stop there? We have statues of the genocidal slave owner Washington all over the place that begging to be torn down.

So genocide and slavery are ok then? As long as you didn't lose a war?

Ehhhh ... I think there's a difference between celebrating someone for the good they did despite the bad, and celebrating them for the bad

I can appreciate the good, I just don't have to lie to myself about the rest.

That's fair. I'm not asking anyone to eulogise slaveowners. I just think there's a difference between the Founders and the Confederacy.

The only path to unity is education. How can you educate people about our past if you try to destroy it? What message does that send?

Well I mean, on Germany people are taught about Hitler and WW2 but it's not like they gonna put or preserve a fucking statue of him...

You're right but they did for the Jewish people who were wronged/murdered/terrorized so instead of removal what about altering

I believe we need to learn from our history but we don't need statues & monuments seemingly giving them honor

I don't honor any statue and I never lived in an era of slavery but that statue reminds me of what not to support.

Southerner all my life and loved the statues. Now I am learning just how truly wrong we were to erect them. Good column. Thanks.

My mom's family were from Richmond and we're disgusted with the statues for yrs. My Great Aunt was a history teacher.

it's a petty narrow mind that thinks destroying statues is cool, it's part of America History, but U hate America, so this is expected

It's a part of CONFEDERATE history. They weren't Americans, they were treasonous bigots.
