I think the thing that bothers me the most is the way in which they change the meanings of these monuments to fit their narrative. It gives them the foot in the door that they need to tear down anything they deem offensive,
I've said many times that this is only the beginning. Statues of Jefferson and Washington are going to be targeted soon.

It is the beginning. The same people pushing for the removal are the same people pushing open borders. Start with one section of history and take it away then they will focus on the founders. It's nothing more than the war on sovereignty.
And better believe those liberals will be adamnt that's not true then later down the road make an excuse for it.

The real reason that many of those statues were built was as an in your face to the Northerners and the power brokers from NYC, Boston and Chicago after the Civil War.....it was never really about White Supremacy per se, it was a passive aggressive act of defiance against the victors.
Al "the Brooklyn Tax Dodger" Sharpton has already started this on Jefferson. The Jefferson Memorial is, IMHO the nicest of the DC Memorials. Make book that they ratchet up on Andrew Jackson in both NOLA and DC.....I could not have cared about Lee and Davis in NOLA, the two men as individuals had very little connection to NOLA but if not for Jackson, the British would have burned the place to the ground. Jackson may have been a bastard overall, but in NOLA he's a damned hero.

Ding ding ding.
The statues are ending up as the physical representation of a battle over language, ideas, freedom....really big things. Of course no one cares about "the statues" or no rational folks at least. Put them in the museum somewhere, who cares? But the how, and the why of this whole thing? That's disturbing, and it should disturb normal people.
