Statues and particularly these are not history. Most were put up in the 20's and then another spurt in the 60's. They were pretty much a dog whistle to those fighting for equal rights that the establishment was going to fight them.
History belongs in books and museums, two things that very few people use anymore but should.
I'm sure that Great Britain teaches the American Revolution in schools but I doubt you'll find any statues of George Washington in London.

Your argument is almost as ignorant as your claim of no statues of washington in London. There are statues of Washington in London.

Most any historical monuments or statues representing historical figures could be offensive to practically anyone. For example, some Japanese living in the US could be offended by the WWII memorials around the US because they represent, to them, death of relatives by the American Imperialists. Because they are offended, should these symbols be removed from public viewing and placed in museums?

listen, this is America... if a small town wants to take down a statue, not a civil war memorial, but erected as backlash to civil rights movements, and the duly elected council decides that they want to remove a statue on city property... who are people from out-of-state to say otherwise? People with an displayed agenda of h**e and violence. It's none of their fucking business! That statue was erected in 1924 'cause da coloreds was getting too uppity! This is the heritage and history you're concerned with?

a suggestion: educated your brain before putting your mouth in gear.

Yes but they are tearing down historical memories of past history. just because a few people are offended. The are plaques of Margret Sanger. I don't see any b****s demanding that they should be taken down, She was a virulent r****t and respondsible for the forced sterilization of black women so that the w****s would not have to be burdened with inferior children. She founded planned parenthood so that fewer b****s and Jews would be born. Were are the demands by millions of women that those plaques be removed?

It seems as though you are fighting against the government.

Your stand seems hypocritical. Would you please explain?

What do you suppose will happen to Stone Mountain in Georgia? Gutzon Borglum is best known for Mount Rushmore but an earlier work was Stone Mountain and his depiction of Confederate soldiers on the side of a mountain.

I guess they will have to blow it up and claim that it was a Youtube video that blew it up. How did I do?

I'm not sure. Were you a former State Department head for a Democrat POTUS?

IMHO, if a person is so offended with statues representing ANYTHING about the history of the US, then just go live in some other country.

...yes and Hitler invented the volkswagen... good can come from confused, fucke dup people.

nice pivot though ... where are these Margaret Sanger plaques you speak of? In the planned Parenthood buildings, perhaps?

Bottom line, you are, like Trump and many others, confusing owning s***es with damaging our country, leading forces against our country and causing the deaths of many US soldiers... in effect being a t*****r to the US... yes I know he was pardfoned, but it doesn't change his actions or the reasons for removing his statues.
