I’ve been contending that those who cry about the removal of CSA statues would have no problem if the people of Cuba removed Castro era statues and memorials in Cuba. They certainly did not object when Saddam’s statue fell in Baghdad. I don’t favor destroying these monuments. I feel they belong at a museum because what happened after the Civil War and how it was memorialized is almost as important as the Civli War itself.

It might be interesting to try to build a history of black lives in America that whites would go to. Start early, go through the civil war, and date things up through the near present. Show that these statues were mostly put up in the 20th century.
