RE: You could remove every Confederate statue in the USA tomorrow… (rant)

in #politics7 years ago

I get it, lol. Trust me takes a lot to offend me.

Would like to say that a statue of a nazi soldier in a Jewish community is unlikely. ;-)

But I get what you're saying. My thing is I don't find remembering of the past offensive. And I would be worried that in all these attempts to rewrite history it's easy to forget it. After all where does it end? They want to rewrite classic literature to remove offensive words. I'm wondering if we'll need to redo mount Rushmore because Washington owned slaves and Abe didn't do enough for racial equality.

If we do need to remove such stuff I just wish people could talk it out in an intelligent manner and find better alternatives to violence over inanimate objects.

And you're right that there will always be those who are opprossed and those opressing them. Sad as that is.
