Museums and battlefields, just my opinion.

Not the public square, where they serve to celebrate and glorify the totally white washed confederacy.

So... How do you feel about honoring and immortalizing Julius Caesar? Alexander the Great? Ghengis khan? Nero? Several of the British kings? Damn near any and all leaders of the separatist movements that created many of the countries we know today? How about George Washington? The racist slave owner whom rebelled and founded a country built on slavery?

How do the statues of these men make you feel? Each and every one of them commited far worse atrocities, far more genocidal acts, we're extreme racist against those not like them.

Are these figures okay? If so, why are they okay?

do you honestly believe the people that are tearing down these statues are satisfied with just moving the statues to a different setting?

so move them to public national historical sites, where the same people can celebrate and glorify them?
