Why did he have a statue in the first place?




To remind black people of their place.

Good riddance.

In the words of Charles Barkley,
“I’ve always ignored them!” he said. “Rick, I’m 54 years old. I’ve never thought about those statues a day in my life. I think if you asked most black people to be honest, they ain’t thought a day in their life about those stupid statues. What we as black people need to do: We need to worry about getting our education, we need to stop killing each other, we need to try to find a way to have more economic opportunity and things like that. Those things are important and significant. You know, I’m wasting time and energy if I’m screaming at a neo-Nazi, or saying ‘Man, you’ve got to take this statue down.”

Yeah, really looks like black people thought of those statues as being put in their place.
