        In fact, replace all the Confederate statues with horses.

        Not saying you are wrong on the issue, but that was a current ruler. Never a good sign when those currently in power have statues.

        The appropriate monuments would be honoring the slaves. You don't see statues of Hitler & Himmler at the the Auschwitz memorial, do you?

        I was just thinking the same. No Mengele statues... but huge piles of hair, glasses,shoes. It's horrifying...as it should be.

        Think about it! Of course they would.... the last thing they want is openly identifying themselves with the cause..

        No, because the families of the Southern 1% only lost their wealth and moved on years ago. The poor whites lost their standing & still cling

        even if they were apathetic, they would openly support the statue toppling to quell suspicions. You're right though.. only poor whites cling
