I assumed that called into question their historical value.
Who determines historical value? It's all subjective. That's the point. One man's hero is another man's villain. You can name any historical figure and I can tell you why they're a bad person and shouldn't be idolized. Basing historical figures on today's standards is asinine. And when you use a crutch as "slavery and racist" as your reasoning (not you in particular) it opens a huge can of worms because damn near every. Single. Historical figure from the 19th century back was racist and supported slavery.
That is the crutch the anti monument movement is using. Slavery and racism. It's completely asinine. We have so many real and tangible problems in today's world, yet what's the outrage over? fricking statues of long dead men.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
