The statue of Jefferson Davis will be removed from the capitol rotunda in Kentucky.

Not sure were it will be moved.
Probably someplace that no-one will see it.

You're confused. Jeff Davis isn't going to be stricken from the textbooks. We'll simply marginally reduce our celebration of him.

Neither are Stalin/Lenin/ Soviet Union whose statues & monuments are falling all across Europe.
The US/Allied campaign of Denazification hasn't erased Hitler from history.


Remembering history & reverence of historical figures are entirely different .

Yep. And as I asked in the other thread, presumably you agree that when we take down MLK statues, it will not "destroy history", right?

One would think this would be stunningly easy to understand.

Literally half of what he advocated for is now considered "racist".

Except the very people now salivating for certain statues to come down would be rioting to protect the King statues and you know it. The same people who oppose statue removal would also be opposed to King's statue removal. There is ideological consistency in only one side of this debate.

I certainly don't give a shite. I think turning humans into deities is not healthy in general. Take down whichever statues you want for all I care.
