“So, when does the wrecking ball take aim at the Jefferson Memorial. He was a slaveowner too”

Is that his claim to fame? Are we commemorating Jefferson becasue he was a slaveowner? Or in spite of it?

The south stood for slavery. that was the prime reason for the Civil war (although there were other factors) this is explicit in the decleration of war
The comparison is laughable.
The Comparison to Arch of Titus falls flat too. The ITalian Government didnt erect the arch nor are they supporting it in their public square. IT is a relic. nobody is saying any mention of the South shoudl be scrubbed from museums. Onthe contrary they BELONG in museums.
