But if the statue was moved and placed into context with possibly some insight or summary or story behind the object, then it can become a learning tool.
I already know you are arguing disingenuously, but the context of the statues is hate. They were mostly erected LONG after the civil war to ensure black folks “knew their place” and to bolster Jim Crow.
All your crowing about “no war but class war” would go down a lot easier if not for your DeSantis-style insistence that we have to pretend all this shit didn’t happen in order to do anything about the shit that IS happening. You are making maga talking points but dressing it up in “it’s all a class war sheeple!”
I’m just saying we don’t want to become extremist only for the other side to entrench themselves and have an existential fear.
Oh, well, we wouldn’t want Republican voters to show us just how awful they can really be, would we? They might elect a despot who will run the country into the ground, dismantle our infrastructure, and run roughshod over the rights of US Citizens.
Further, anyone who sees the OP reaction to the burning of a plantation and feels their “side” has been aggrieved by that reaction is accidentally telling the truth about what “their side” actually stands for.
