& CSA non slave owning soldier; & Union doctor. I don’t care.
Just put the southern statues in museums & on Civil War battle fields. You were conquered; move on. Its rocks & metal. Let it go. Then the rock heads can start fighting to get slave owner Washingtons stuff removed. Does it honestly change your life? Then why do you care. There was so many angry socislists arguing with angry people who loved a statue; that a college girl got ran over. Was her life worth keeping a statue? No.
Yes; the north should set the example. Put their Union statues in museums; then challenge the south to do the same. But we know they will not. Remember when Brits got mad over the movie “Patriot” w/Mel Gibson? I assure you; if the English could somehow destroy anything dedicated to the Irish in North Ireland they would; to mentally strenghten their hold over the region. But they also would not agree to destroy an equal number of English statues in North Ireland or England. Its a power thing.
The northeast is saying southern blacks; we used our power to help get southern white statues dedicated to their dead soldiers removed; now vote how we tell you please.
My view: just move on if your a southern white & care about those statues. I’m trying to remember taking my kids to see a statue. I did take them to pose with cute little kid statues; in front of Christian crosses; & thats about it. So that means it doesn’t matter to me. I drove by a statue dedicated to someone my kids are descended from. Maybe i should have stopped; but i didnt care enough to.
