I think we basically covered all bases in our debate, so we don’t have to turn this into an endless Ubiqituin loop. If I have the time to do it, I will try to delve deeper in the “myth” of the Lost Cause, intent of the statue builders etc. Regardless, my main point was that the people who built the statues and especially those who want to maintain them are not doing so out of white supremacy or any evil intentions. For them it represents something good.
Interestingly, there were many people in history whos day job was to be great personalities and on the side perswcuted the Jews. I dont think their statues should be removed either for the same reason. This includes henry ford, that pilot in the 20s, president grant (jk) Pompeii etc. The anti communists in the Ukraine. I’m waiting for Ubiqition to suport me and som1 to suport me.
