Statues are inanimate. They only represent what we allow them to...

I you choose to feel historic pain through a statue, that’s your choice. Odds are that taking it down won’t sway your determination to see things negatively or dampen your resolve to further create conflict.

Its not about "historic pain", its about glorifying something or remembering positively something or someone that should not be remembered like that.

Its always better to face the past and all its issues, than to put up statues 100 years later and act like everything was sunshine and roses.

@Pherick Well said. If the Germans put up statuse honoring Himmler or Goebbels in the 80s and 90s I guess no one should say anything. 🤔

@Pherick what if we only need remember the bad things about anyone and everyone?
