        Isn't that what we're doing these days? Wiping away the past? Pretending it doesn't exist anymore!No more statues, no more flags, no history

        Sure, cherry pick. Equate removing statues of racist murderers with changing the skin color of religious artifacts. Seems legit

        There's also shock that Ancient Greek sculptures Weren't white but vividly painted. Historical accuracy or not? Can't have it both ways

        She should be depicted in all colours & ethnic backgrounds. She represents strength love & devotion. Skin colour should be irrelevant

        This is a perfect example that next time maybe, as good as he is, you should not hire Michael Jackson's makeup artist for the job.

        If the statue was originally white...that's ok. This story just feels like the Times trying to create another racial story.
