IMO this video is excellent. There is nothing good to gain by commemorating people who benefitted from historic racism.

Plenty of awesome people in history who didn't kill millions in a manufactured famine, or own human beings, or do a genocide. Let's statue them.

@CheshireCatalyst name a hero of yours who didn't have something problematic about them too, then.

@Lhayezee Raoul Wallenberg is a good start.

@CheshireCatalyst dammit you win this round! Excellent (he does have monuments and memorials already, at least , which is good). Maybe he disliked kittens or something though...

@Lhayezee lol, I hear he once gave someone a dirty look. He's cancelled!
