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

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

        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?

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

        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.

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

        The statues and monuments weren't an issue until after Saturday so spare me the fake outrage.

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