re: How does the removal of monuments help blacks?

I'm no crusader for the removal of any/all confederate monuments, but don't play dumb and act like you don't know from where such sentiment originates.

Do a little research about the draft riots in NYC, or about how many slave owners there were in the union, DURING the civil war.

Blacks were treated marginally better in the north than the south... once they got past the slave holding union states.
